Nollywood actress Mo Bimpe has shared a personal story about how she was left out of baby related events by people close to her simply because she did not have a child at the time.
The actress, who is married to fellow actor Lateef Adedimeji, made this known in a lengthy note she posted on her social media page. In the post, she said there was a period in her life when she was not invited to baby showers, naming ceremonies, children’s birthdays, and other events that had anything to do with kids.
According to her, some of the people who left her out were not strangers. She said they were people she knew well, people she had laughed with and shared close moments with, yet they still excluded her once it came to anything involving children.
Mo Bimpe explained that this hurt her deeply because she genuinely loved children and always wanted to celebrate with others rather than be pitied or treated differently for not having a child yet. She used her experience to speak directly to women who are currently trying to conceive, encouraging them not to give up hope.
She reminded such women that waiting can be one of the hardest parts of the journey, along with the questions, comments, and quiet prayers that come with it. She urged the public to stop excluding women who do not yet have children, noting that a woman without a child is not less deserving of love, friendship, inclusion, or celebration.
In her words, she told women still waiting to keep believing and keep hoping, adding that their own testimony is not far off. She said her own life is proof that a story can change faster than anyone expects, and that what looks delayed is not the same as denied.
Mo Bimpe’s message comes as she counts down to the thanksgiving ceremony for her triplets. She recently shared photos and videos of herself with her three sons, reflecting on her journey from years of waiting to what she now calls a season of wonder. She and Lateef Adedimeji welcomed their triplets earlier this year, a moment many fans and colleagues in the industry celebrated with the couple after they had followed the actress’s fertility journey for years.
By speaking publicly about being excluded during her years without a child, Mo Bimpe is drawing attention to a common but rarely discussed experience among women dealing with infertility or delayed conception in Nigerian society, where baby related celebrations are often central to social and family life.
