Prominent among these struggels is what she calls the “dreaded” OGTT, or the oral glucose tolerance test, which according to Iya would help the doctor determine whether an expectant mother has gestational diabetes or not.
“The dreaded OGTT 🤢 this test is taken around 24wks pregnant and will determine whether a mother has gestational diabetes or not,” Iya said.
The celebrity mom said that the sugary solution that she takes when undergoing the test sometimes make her feel like throwing up.

“I was anticipating puking this time but so glad I didn’t coz then I’d have to take it again 😖 I highly recommend having this test done at home since its 3 extractions, an hour apart from each other. Also, the drink can make you feel queasy after 🤢 Just happy to be done! Getting thru each dreaded stage one step at a time 😅,” Iya said.
She then went into some details of her pregnancy, saying it’s not easy for her as it each pregnancy she had brought her “the same anxieties and stresses” that she tries to forget about and then go through again.
“Many think pregnancy is so easy for me coz they see me moving and working out. Well, lemme tell ya… it’s not easy for me 😅 every pregnancy has brought me the same anxieties and stresses that I always forget about and find myself going thru again 😂 I guess good in a sense coz I probably would’ve stopped after 2 kids! 🤣,” the celebrity mom said.
“During pregnancy you worry about the health of your baby, and then there’s delivery… oh how I dread delivery! 😭 and then recovery is another thing! I was never the type to get my pre-baby body back after 2wks! It was always hard work and clean eating which is my biggest struggle 😅 but I’ll deal with that when I cross that bridge 😅,” she added.
Near the end of her post, she imparted an important advice for mothers like her and those who would like to be mothers.
“This is for all those who are afraid to try and those who’ve been thru it and don’t have the courage to do it again ❤️ Yes, it is scary. Yes, it gets hard and you find yourself in moments where you just need to work thru the pains and setbacks. But you will never know the beauty and your strength unless you are willing to be put to the test 😅 one of the things I pray so hard for? That God’s strength will shine through me during my times of weakness 🙏🏼 The moments you think you can’t make it thru, His grace will sustain you 🙏🏼,” Iya said at the end of her post.
