“I was scared to have kids,” Queen Mercy Atang opens up

Motherhood has a way of changing perspectives and Queen Mercy Atang is proof! The former Big Brother Naija star recently shared a touching truth about her journey as a mom in honor of Mother’s Day.

She admitted that years ago, the thought of giving birth terrified her.

“Funny enough, years ago, I used to say I never wanted to give birth because I was so scared. Now, when I think about it, I just laugh at myself. Life really has a way of changing your mind,” Mercy said.

But now, her focus has shifted entirely. She revealed;

“Today, all I want is to be the best mother I can be. Motherhood has made me more focused, more resilient, and more motivated to work hard and build a future my kids will be proud of. Even on the days when I’m tired and running on little sleep, the love makes it all worth it.”

Mercy also expressed her gratitude, saying, “Thank you, God, for this beautiful experience. I’m forever grateful.”

And to all mothers out there, she had a warm shoutout:

“Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful mothers around the world. Take your flowers mommies, you deserve them and so much more.

May God continue to bless us with wisdom, strength, patience (because we definitely need it), and the grace to keep being the amazing mothers our children need.”

Motherhood, it seems, truly changes everything sometimes in the most unexpected and beautiful ways.
