“Avoid zobo” – Woman risks losing 5-month pregnancy as she’s rushed to hospital after consuming ‘1 full bottle of zobo’

A pregnant Nigerian woman recently shared her ordeal about landing in the hospital just days after consuming zobo.

In a post by @talk2veee, a media influencer, an unnamed Nigerian woman’s hospital experience was revealed through an image shared in the post.

The caption of the image reads: “This was when I spent two days in the hospital after consuming a whole bottle of zobo during my 6th month of pregnancy. I am grateful for my hospital’s swift response.”

Also, thankful to God and my family. Initially, we didn’t attribute it to zobo until later.

She further warned fellow pregnant women against consuming zobo for any reason unless their delivery date is imminent.

Following her statement, concerned individuals took to the comments to share similar experiences.

See some reactions below: 

@justdebby__: “I think it’s the pineapple in zobo. Cause pineapple is something to stay away from when pregnant, imagine having a concentrated chunk of it in zobo.”

@FemiElafris: “My wife took zobo all through her pregnancy sha. And pineapple was a good comforter too… Same way MIL said no okro during breastfeeding, she chop okro too nothing happened.”

@Yemo247: “I drank zobo and ate pineapple even added pineapple juice and its peel to make my zobo and my chikd still overstayed his due date.”

@_kwinne: “mine was pineapple. Caused a threatened abortion at 4 months and that’s all i wanted to eat at that time.”

@classicbetty101: “Thank God this has been brought to limelight. I literally cramp & bleed whenever I take zobo when I was pregnant with my second. My doctor and I didn’t know why until a friend pointed it out to me after my son was 3 months old. I’m just grateful to God my child and I made it.”
