Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has revealed that the physical changes she experienced after motherhood contributed to her decision to undergo surgery.
In an interview with the Awesome Family Podcast on Thursday, August 20, 2026, Ogbodo said the demands of motherhood had affected her emotionally and physically. She explained that the changes to her body also began to affect her confidence, health and professional life.
The actress said she is only a few years older than her husband, but people sometimes mistook her for his mother because of her appearance. According to her, the comments affected her psychologically and made her concerned about how her husband might feel about the situation.
Ogbodo said the situation eventually became difficult to manage as it began to affect both her well-being and career. She explained that she decided to take control of the situation and undergo surgery to improve her appearance and regain her confidence.
In Ogbodo’s words: “Motherhood stress was too much for me. I have this young husband, and I had to pity him. How was he going to deal with that? I’m a few years older than my husband, but people were thinking that I’m my husband’s mother. Psychologically, the thing was messing with my head, my health was messing up with me, and my career was at stake. I had to take the bull by the horns, so I had to have my body done.”
