Seyi Shay Opens Up About Pregnancy, Fiancé, and Fears She Has as the Baby Comes

Nigerian singer Seyi Shay officially announced through her Instagram and specifically her Big Girl video that she is now pregnant. Apart from posting pictures and videos, Seyi has never actually talked about being pregnant. Until now.

Taking to Instagram, Seyi Shay shared a very revealing video about how she found about the pregnancy, gave more insight into the baby's father, and also expressed the current fears she has as the baby's due date approaches. Here's everything Seyi Shay said.

Taking to Instagram to speak candidly in a new video, Seyi said about how she found out she was pregnant:

I was feeling funny. I was actually feeling funny for a few weeks and it was actually during a time in my life when I was already quite down about certain things that happened last year that you all probably must have known about. I was already feeling quite depressed cuz Sound Sultan had just passed away and Sound Sultan was like my father, my brother, my best friend, everything. But physically I was also feeling quite ill. Because I had already been hoping and planning I would have a child around then. So I just quickly told my househelp to run and go and get me pregnancy test because I just thought to myself this feeling is different. Yes I feel sick but in a different way. So I was in my bathroom. She came back with a pregnancy test, I did the test and you know those three minutes (of waiting for the result) that feel like 3 hours, that's pretty much what I went through. I tried to distract myself, walked out of the bathroom, went back to the bathroom, flipped over the pregnancy test and it was positive. So I called my fiance and was like "Oh my god, I'm pregnant!" and he was like, "That's really cool." (laughs) He has no life. He doesn't know how to express his excitement or even his anger, he's just so placid.

Speaking about her fears and insecurities as the baby comes, Seyi said:

Even though I haven't had typical throwing up everyday, terrible skin, big nose, and all these things, I am definitely insecure about so many things like my career probably more than anything. Not being able to work, having to postpone my show in London, not being able to do many gigs at all even through December just got me down and crying. I'm just worried that I won't be able to snap back into my artiste life as soon and as quickly as I would like. It's so scary. I just get so frustrated because I know it's a choice that I made and I have to have known that this would be one of things that would happen. But I think my hormones have got me scared that my fans won't be there when I come back. Or maybe my body won't get back into shape on time. I just get so emotional some times and it might be the hormones but it also might be the fact that I've had time to reflect on everything that I've been through and everything I've gone through being Seyi Shay these past years. Like conflicts, misunderstandings, being trolled, being bullied online and so many different things. I'm really just having time to stop and think about all those things and asking why?

It's just fear. I'm really scared of how things are going to be when this baby comes.

It was very insightful to hear Seyi Shay's thoughts on everything and so brave of her to be very vulnerable and share these intimate thoughts and fears with her fans. I'm sure a lot of working mothers or mothers-to-be can definitely relate to some of the fears she's having. Good job to you Seyi for sharing such candid opinions so openly. We all wish you a very safe delivery and joy in motherhood.
