She said:
“I have a sob story for you. My daughter is three-years-old, and since I gave birth to her, my eyes have not been the same. I feel like I had 20-20 vision before I got pregnant, well not anymore. My eyesight has gone on an excursion underground. Three months ago, I was like ‘something is not tallying here, it’s like I’m seeing double’ I went to do an eye scan and the doctor said I have to get glasses. I got a text message a few days ago that my glasses are ready.”

Nigerian mums share their after childbirth experience
After singer Simi revealed how her pregnancy affected her, Legit.ng spoke with some Nigerian mothers who also shared their experience with childbirth.
One Abuja-based mother of one, Kemi, explained that she noticed a drastic decline in her energy after the birth of her now two-year-old daughter. According to her, she used to be able to carry out some tasks in one hour but those same tasks now take her about three hours.
She said: "Mine is that my strength has drastically reduced, what I could do for an hour before, now I can do it for 3 hours. Once it's 8pm, I’m already feeling sleepy.”
Another Nigerian mum of one, Harriet Bani, shared her experience with postpartum depression. She explained how everything about her body changed including physically, mentally and emotionally. Just like Simi, Harriet's eyesight was also affected by the birth of her now 13-year-old daughter.
She said: "After I had my daughter everything about my body changed, both physical, mental and emotional. After I had my daughter, I started using glasses. My menstrual period was not normal as usual and I also had mood swings, unnecessary mood swings."
She also said:
"Majority of new moms have postpartum depression no matter how excited they are because they know they will be deprived of a lot of things for a while.”
However, another Nigerian mum who spoke with Legit.ng, Foyeke, seemed to have a seamless childbirth experience. According to her, she did not really experience any major changes to her body. Foyeke however added that she forgets things easily but she has always been like that even before giving birth.
In her words:
"Yes I saw Simi's video, and no I didn't have a similar experience, really I would say my experience was so stress free, I didn’t even have the littlest morning sickness, the only thing I would say I suffered is 3rd degree tears which was expected as a first time mum…. Oh and I forget things easily…. But I forget things on a normal day so I don’t think I would really blame child birth for that ."
Simi's husband Adekunle Gold says he's a one-woman man
Top Nigerian singer, Adekunle Gold, made headlines on social media after he spoke about being a one-woman type of man.
In an interview, the Party No Dey Stop crooner opened up about shamelessly being a lover man. According to him, his song, One Woman, is to celebrate that.
He also added that there are only a few people who are one-woman kind of men, and he feels they need to celebrate each other.
