Nigerian actress, comedian, and businesswoman Kiekie gave birth to a bouncy baby girl last year. Months after giving birth, Kiekie is now opening up about motherhood and the strange ways it has affected her. She announced her pregnancy through a song and music video that she specifically recorded for that purpose.
Kiekie spoke candidly about parenthood and how having a child has led to her doing odd things like smelling her daughter’s excrement, among other things, during her most recent visit on Taymesan’s “Tea With Tay” podcast. Here are Kiekie’s thoughts on the entire situation.
During the show, Taymesan asked Kiekie: “Let’s gist about motherhood. Before now you were a singular girl, now you’re a mom. Tell me about motherhood” She responded:

KIEKIE: Ah! First of, you know all those things that they always say “no I can’t do this, I can’t do this”. You will do it oh. But you will be doing it with so much joy. Do you know I cannot believe that when Lola poops, I will be smelling it. Ah! One day I asked myself, is this thing not mental? One day I told my husband, “ah, the smell of Nola’s poop is changing oh”.
“As a mother, are you supposed to check the smell of the poop?”
KIEKIE: No, you don’t have to. But if something is wrong, you can know from the color. When I first had her, I think about three days after I first had her, I naked her like this on the bed. I was turning her around. I was looking at her hand, her back, her hair, her eyes. My mum was like “what are you looking at?” I said I just want to see all her body, see if everything is complete. My mummy said ‘okay, so you want to call them at the hospital that it’s minus one finger?’ [laughs]. Ha! It is different. I’ve not really spoken about my experience with having Nola and all that because I don’t even think I have words for it just yet. It’s quite unexplainable. God is wonderful. Like when you birth a child, it’s just everything. Do you know that when I wake up in the morning, and I open my eyes: where is Nola?
Awww. The joys and weirdness that comes from motherhood. What do you think about what Kiekie said? Also, is there any weird thing that has happened to you, or somebody that you know, when you or them became a parent? I know I’ve heard people say all manner of things that they started doing when they became parents, this Kiekie story of her smelling her daughter’s poop is just one of many crazy stories I’ve heard. What is the craziest one you’ve heard?
