Yvonne Nelson recounts how Sarkodie drove her to hospital in Mamprobi for Abortion
The actress in her memoir revealed that multiple award winning rapper, Sarkodie, drove her to a health facility at Mamprobi for abortion.
According to Yvonne Nelson, she was in a hotel and had a room to herself. That made her hostel the seal place to do it. “If I tried it at home, my mother would know about And hell would crashing down on an already troubled earth.
So, weekend, I visited her and took the pills. I swallowed one and inserted the other into my vagina. The few days that followed were some of the most excruciatingly painful moments of my life. It was only after I gave birth that I was able to get a condition to liken the pain I felt to. The pain came with severe bleeding that lasted so long that I became weak. I could see life slipping out of my frail bod When I sat on the WC, clots of blood fell into the toilet bowl lik constipated poop. When the bleeding and pains finally stopped, went to do another pregnancy test to ascertain the efficacy of the self administered procedure.
The pregnancy was still there, intact.
Keeping the pregnancy was not an option. Undertaking another s medication was also not an option. I agreed with Sarkodie that time, we had to do it in a hospital or health facility. Again, that friend of mine had a recommendation. It was a facility in Mamprobi, and the appointed day, Sarkodie drove me there with his manager and left.
Having endured the life-threatening but failed attempt, I asked myself while entering the facility was, Is this where m end? The dilapidation of the building that housed the doctor’s,” Yvonne Nelson reveals
