A video circulating online has sparked widespread reactions after a new mother was seen attending a choir rehearsal just one day after giving birth.
In the clip, the visibly exhausted new mum is shown participating in practice while fellow choristers praise her commitment and dedication.
Some members could be heard commending her strength, with others drawing inspiration from a biblical reference to Hebrew women who were described as strong and vigorous.
While the video inspired admiration from some viewers who applauded her resilience and devotion, it also triggered concern from critics who questioned the health implications of such an early return to physical activity after childbirth.
Medical professionals and commentators online pointed out that the immediate postpartum period is critical for rest, healing, and mother-child bonding.
Concerns were raised about potential risks such as excessive bleeding, infection, and delayed recovery, especially so soon after delivery.
Many argued that while faith and dedication are important, they should not come at the expense of a new mother’s health and wellbeing.
See comments below,
“Many of you will die… inside church…and God will still deny you entrance.”
“Does she have a husband or even a mother? Cos why would her immediate family allow this?”
“Such determination! I hope she also takes time to rest and care for herself and her baby. In my view, she might still need some proper rest, but her dedication is inspiring.”
“This is not a flex by the way. You’re just stressing yourself for stupid validation from people who will easily replace you in the choir is you kpai.”
