Veteran Nollywood actress Shaffy Bello took a major personal decision years ago regarding childbirth.
During a recent discussion about motherhood on her YouTube channel, Shaffy Bello TV, the actress disclosed that she underwent a medical procedure to prevent herself from having more children because she did not want a large family.
According to Bello, she decided to tie her fallopian tubes about 26 years ago after concluding that she had reached the number of children she wanted.
She noted that despite her firm stance, her former husband had hoped they would expand their family.
“My ex-husband had to beg me to have another one. I didn’t want a lot of children. I wanted to stop,” she said.
The actress explained that the procedure involved doctors performing the operation through her navel, where they tied her fallopian tubes, making it impossible for her to conceive again.
Describing the process, she said: “So they went through my navel, went in there, did what they needed to do, and they tied it up. That was it. They closed my eggs.”

Bello added that she had always been certain about the size of the family she wanted and never felt pressured to have more children than she was comfortable with.
She jokingly added that if she ever became pregnant after the procedure, it would feel like a miracle.
“I’ve always said to myself that after tying my tubes, if I get pregnant, I will feel like Mary, it’s a holy child,” Bello said. [Prompt News]
