Ghanaian musician and entrepreneur Mzbel has made a rather surprising revelation about motherhood.
She has admitted that despite being a proud mother of two lovely children, she has actually regretted giving birth.
Speaking in a chat with Zionfelix on the Uncut Show, the singer opened up about her personal experiences with childbirth and explained why she sometimes feels that bringing children into the world is a scam.
According to Mzbel, one of her biggest concerns about having children is the fact that the world is a place of suffering and the uncertainty surrounding life and what could happen to them if their mother suddenly dies.
She explained that a woman could go through the stress of pregnancy, childbirth and raising children, only to die unexpectedly and leave the children all alone in the world without the guidance and protection they need.
During the conversation, Zionfelix pointed out that mothers could make provisions for their children by leaving behind money and properties to ensure they are financially comfortable even after their death.
However, Mzbel disagreed with the suggestion that financial provisions alone could solve the problem, insisting that money without proper guidance cannot necessarily guarantee a child’s future.
She argued that a mother could leave more than GH¢100,000 for her children, but without someone to guide them and help them make the right decisions, the money might not do much for them.
The musician further suggested that if she had the knowledge and understanding she currently has about childbirth and motherhood before having her children, she probably would not have given birth.
Her comments are particularly interesting considering the struggles she has previously spoken about regarding her journey to motherhood, especially her decision to have a second child.
Mzbel had earlier disclosed that she went through several unsuccessful and expensive fertility treatments before eventually conceiving her daughter at the age of 44.
She also revealed that the experience was emotionally challenging, particularly because of the hurtful comments and questions she had faced over the biological parentage of her first son.
After years of hoping to have another child and eventually experiencing the joy of conceiving and giving birth to her daughter.
It should be noted that Mzbel was, however, quick to clarify that her position was strictly her personal opinion and that she had no problem with people who held different views about childbirth.
She stressed that people were entitled to their own opinions and that she respected anyone who believed having children was one of the greatest blessings in life.
Interestingly, the musician even suggested that women who needed medication or assistance to conceive and give birth could contact her, apparently drawing from her own experience with fertility challenges.
