Actress Shaffy Bello reveals why she had her fallopian tubes tied

Veteran Nollywood actress, Shaffy Bello has opened up about the big personal decision she made 26: years ago regarding giving birth.

The singer revealed that she underwent a medical procedure to prevent having more children.

The actress said she had her fallopian tubes tied in 2020, a decision she said was based on her desire to limit the number of children she would have.

Bello said this in a discussion about motherhood on her YouTube channel, Shaffy Bello TV, which was broadcast to a number of her fans on Sunday night.

According to the actress, the decision was taken even though her ex-husband wanted them to expand their family. She said her husband had begged her to have more children, but she had decided that she did not want to have many children.

Explaining the procedure, Bello said doctors operated through her navel, where her fallopian tubes are tied to prevent future pregnancies.

He described the procedure as simple and said that it permanently stops the release of eggs necessary for fertilization.

Bello noted that she was always clear about what size family she wanted and did not feel pressured to have more children.

“My ex-husband had to beg me to have another child. I didn’t want to have many children. I wanted to stop,” she said.

“So they get to my belly button, get in there, do what they need to do, and tie it off. That’s it. They seal off my eggs.”

The actress added jokingly that if she got pregnant after the procedure, it would feel miraculous.

“I always told myself that once I had my tubes tied, if I got pregnant, I would feel like Mary – she was a holy child,” she said.
