Uche Ogbodo revealed that she was diagnosed with Angioedema in 2020. Basically, Angioedema is the rapid edema, or swelling, of the area beneath the skin or mucosa.
It is normally an allergic reaction, but it can also be hereditary. The swelling happens because fluid accumulates. It tends to affect areas with loose areas of tissue, especially the face and throat, as well as the limbs and genitals.

In a lenghty post, the actress said,“In the Theatre being delivered off my beautiful baby LUMINA (Brighter Light), I was so scared! Something didn’t feel right, I continually felt something would go wrong! Maybe because I got so many death wishes from trolls online, my subconscious was already believing it might happen. But I pushed that fear to the back of my mind cos I wasn’t gonna leave my new baby with my young, scared and strong husband and go anywhere. God bless him, he held my hand all through the surgery.
The actress further revealed some complications she encountered after childbirth.
She said, “I kept saying I can do it, I shall not die, what God can not do does not exist! After birthing my baby, the doctors discovered complications, blood sacs in my stomach that is one of the complications that might cos bleeding after birth.
“Thank God for my wonderful doctor, FATIMALI, who refused to stitch me back up! God used this wonderful Muslim doctor to save my life. She discovered this problem and insisted it wasn’t normal, that my stomach wasn’t as it should be.
“If I had my baby elsewhere maybe they would have stitched me up and discharged me then I will go home and develop a bigger complications and who knows, but mercy Said NO! My God was in the theatre that day! my God who watches over me, the Holy Spirit came through for Me. My God who can do all things for me exceedingly according to his wishes and glory to meet a perfect and expected end .“(sic)
