Media personality Ohemaa Woyeje has described her second pregnancy as a physically draining experience that bore little resemblance to her first.

In her conversation with MzGee, she contrasted the two journeys.

The first came with almost no complications “it was so easy throughout,” she said while the second introduced intense symptoms from the outset.

Daily routines became difficult to manage. Sudden hunger, cravings and fatigue often disrupted her work, sometimes forcing her to step away mid-programme.

When hunger hit, she explained, “you have to get the food immediately,” describing how she navigated live radio under those conditions.

The most severe challenge came during labour.

Unlike her first delivery, where pain only began after induction, the second started with intense contractions immediately after her water broke. The shock of that moment remains vivid.

“The water broke with severe pain. I call it torture… never seen such pain in my life,” she said, adding that the contractions began instantly and escalated rapidly.

As labour progressed, the pain became overwhelming. She recalled losing strength and struggling to cope, at one point feeling like she “wanted to break the bed” as medical staff and her husband tried to steady her.

Pain relief was not readily accessible, leaving her to endure the process naturally. Reflecting on the experience, she summed it up bluntly, “It was hell.”

The delivery, however, ended safely with the birth of her daughter an outcome she holds onto despite the ordeal.

Her second child, Adira River Ohanian, was born in the Netherlands around August 15, 2022.
