Miss Tourism Universe Ghana, Priscilla Bossman-Pinkrah, has highlighted reasons why some women decide to become Baby Mamas.
Defining who a baby mama is she said, “A baby mama is a woman who is not married to a man but has a child for him.”
She categorized being a baby mama into two, which are choice and change.
Talking about some reasons why some women decide to become baby mamas she shared, “Starting with choice, some women decide to become baby mamas because they do not want men to decide anything for them or overshadow or control them. So they would rather have children and co-parent.”
In an interview with Mercy Bee the Ekumfi Princess on e.TV Ghana’s Girl Vibes show, she emphasized, “Other women also become baby mamas because they are insecure. They use pregnancy and the child to pin the men down so they marry them. They feel the only way to do that is by having a child for them and becoming their baby mama.”
She also added that for some other ladies, they do not plan for it to happen but it does. And they just find themselves in the situation. “They have no option than to go with the flow.”
Priscilla furthered that other women also do it for love and money.
“When they love the man who is rich and he does not reciprocate, some women use pregnancy to get them to love them back.”
She believes apart from it not being planned or intentional, she advised ladies against having children with men they are not married to.
