Ghanaian musician Mzbel has opened up about her journey to welcoming her second child, revealing how she conceived and gave birth at the age of 44 after years of trying.
Speaking after keeping the experience private for two years, the singer challenged common perceptions about age and childbirth, stressing that pregnancy is still possible for women over 40.
“If someone tells you that once you reach age 40 you can’t give birth, it’s a lie. I gave birth to my daughter at the age of 44. There are a lot of local medicines that can prepare your womb and tubes, making it possible for you to conceive,” she said.
Mzbel recounted that her path to motherhood was not straightforward. She explained that she initially underwent several expensive medical treatments, all of which failed to yield results.
“When I decided to have my daughter, I went through many treatments, which were expensive, but nothing worked. Until Hajia Fertility gave me her medicine and showed me how to prepare it. I took it for about four to five months, and I conceived,” she revealed.
She further noted that after the birth of her child, many people reached out to her privately, eager to know how she managed to conceive at that age.
“When I gave birth, a lot of people came into my DMs asking how I was able to conceive at 44. I didn’t respond to most of them—only those close to me,” she added.
