Popular Nigeria Celebrity Couple, Bankole Wellington known as Banky W, and his lovely wife Adesua Etomi has recounted their experience after they lost their twins to miscarriage.
The duo shared this while having a chat at the Waterbrook studios.
‘’So we got pregnant and we got pregnant with twins. And we had gone for the scans, we had seen the heartbeats. At this point very few people knew what happened,”She said.
“Every report that you have heard was a lie because nobody knew what happened.
“So, during a routine checkup, we went back to the hospital to have a scan and I just saw the doctor’s face…you know when something is wrong, sometimes you can tell.
“She was scanning and scanning and I was like what’s wrong and she said ‘oh nothing’ and I looked at the nurse’s face and asked what’s wrong and she said ‘Adesua’ I’m looking for the heartbeats and I said ‘for the two of them?’.”
The talented actress said that she collapsed immediately after she got home from the hospital.
“So I went home and I remember Banky was not at home at that time and I remembered collapsing on the floor wailing.
“I’m sharing this because many women go through this and nobody talks about it because it is almost like a thing of shame for whatever reason and I don’t know why,” she added.
“So we said we were going to pray over the weekend and go back for the scan on Tuesday or Monday can’t remember now, hoping that God would do something,” she said.
Banky narrating their experience upon return to the hospital said, “Monday or Tuesday, we went for the scan, not only did we not see heartbeats but the embryos were shrinking, they were decaying. When we found out we were losing them and we needed to do an evacuation, it was a very emotional time for her,” he said.
The lovely couple further revealed how they planned adopting or going for surrogacy at some point.
Adesua revealed how their family pastor told them to give it six months.
This was followed by several dreams and visions of them carrying their baby.
However, after praying for some months, she revealed that she found out that she was pregnant and all she said as she looked at the positive pregnancy stick was ”Olubankole God has done it.”
The couple got married in 2017 and they welcomed their first child in 2021.
