A pregnant Nigerian woman recently opened up about her distressing experience after being admitted to the hospital just days following the consumption of zobo.
In a post by @talk2veee, a media influencer, the unnamed Nigerian woman's hospital experience was vividly shared through an image posted in the narrative.
The caption accompanying the image reads: “This was when I spent two days in the hospital after consuming a whole bottle of zobo during my 6th month of pregnancy. I am grateful for my hospital’s swift response.”
Expressing gratitude to God and her family, she admitted that initially, they didn't attribute her condition to zobo until later on.
The woman went further to caution fellow pregnant women against consuming zobo for any reason unless their delivery date is imminent.
Following her cautionary statement, concerned individuals shared similar experiences in the comments section.
See some reactions below:
@justdebby__: “I think it’s the pineapple in zobo. Cause pineapple is something to stay away from when pregnant, imagine having a concentrated chunk of it in zobo.”
@FemiElafris: “My wife took zobo all through her pregnancy sha. And pineapple was a good comforter too… Same way MIL said no okro during breastfeeding, she chop okro too nothing happened.”
@Yemo247: “I drank zobo and ate pineapple even added pineapple juice and its peel to make my zobo and my child still overstayed his due date.”
@_kwinne: “Mine was pineapple. Caused a threatened abortion at 4 months, and that’s all I wanted to eat at that time.”
@classicbetty101: “Thank God this has been brought to limelight. I literally cramp & bleed whenever I take zobo when I was pregnant with my second. My doctor and I didn’t know why until a friend pointed it out to me after my son was 3 months old. I’m just grateful to God my child and I made it.”
