Ghanaian Actress, Yvonne Nelson is the cover star for WOW Magazine‘s
latest issue. In the cover story, the actress talks about pregnancy,
her partner, and finding complete happiness with her baby girl.
It was, and the truth of the matter is, it’s been something I’ve been
waiting for since I turned 29. On my 30th birthday, I was in Venice,
Italy. I remember the night before my birthday, I called my mum and I
was crying. I was so sad, I was seeing someone else then and he was an
ideal guy and everything. He took me there for my birthday and he
proposed.
The issue was released today (Sunday, November 12th), which is Yvonne’s birthday. She shared a photo of the cover on Instagram and
wrote: “WOW! ITS MY BIRTHDAY 🎂🎊🎂 The BEST year of my life! The best
birthday GIFT ever! Looking for a miracle?? Just look around you….it’s
there. He’s present in everything”.
See excerpts:
Being Pregnant
I was so paranoid because I don’t think I’ve been to the hospital
ever, but I got pregnant and I had to got to the hospital like every two
weeks. You know, all these different tests one must undergo and it’s
scary because it (was my) first time. You don’t just know what to
expect, people don’t tell you these things.
It feels like a minute ago, I was on the beach relaxing in my size 4
figure…. It’s so humbling knowing that I’m about to become a mother.
Guess the best part? I can eat whatever I want without worrying my tummy
would protrude. It’s already very big.
How her Mum Felt about the Pregnancy
My mum used to be so big on marriage; she was very traditional –
marriage, then baby – until I got pregnant. It’s like everything
changed. I guess your priority obviously changes to something else.
She’s now more concerned about the baby.
On Marriage before Pregnancy
I believe if I say that (I’m not a traditional lady who may decide to
get pregnant out of wedlock), people might say I’m not setting a good
example but I think society is just so hard on most of us. The fact is,
it’s good to get married, it’s the right thing to do, but then again, if
you are a woman and you think you are getting to a certain age and you
want to have kids and you meet a responsible guy who hasn’t yet proposed
but wants to do the same thing, it depends on you and him. You can go
ahead and do it if you think the guy is right and responsible and he
makes you happy. Why not?
On Whether the pregnancy was Planned
It was, and the truth of the matter is, it’s been something I’ve been
waiting for since I turned 29. On my 30th birthday, I was in Venice,
Italy. I remember the night before my birthday, I called my mum and I
was crying. I was so sad, I was seeing someone else then and he was an
ideal guy and everything. He took me there for my birthday and he
proposed.
He’s somebody I would have loved to have a family with but he wanted
me to move to London. My whole life was going to change because of him
and it’s not something you should do. You don’t have to change your
whole life because of a man, because of your marriage. I’m sure most
people do, so in the long run it didn’t work out.
It’s quite funny because someone proposed and I didn’t get to have a
baby for the person, and this person who hasn’t proposed, I’m having a
baby for him, so it’s a vibe, it’s friendship, it’s understanding, it’s
how the person makes you (feel). It’s not about someone putting a rock
on your finger and you forget.
On Whether her and her partner are discussing Marriage
Marriage is scary but of course, I’d love my child to have a dad
around. We would have to have the ideal family setting. As I said, I
can’t marry myself, someone would have to marry me. So yeah, when it
happens I’d be glad (but) I don’t want to put pressure on anyone.
