Content creator Lottie Bie surprises netizens with parenthood news

Social media content creator Lottie Bie surprised netizens by announcing that she has given birth.

“This is why I haven't been so active this year,” she said in a video documenting her journey from pregnancy to delivery.

“God, my husband, and I were busy building our little bee,” she added, revealing she “always had” a husband but preferred to keep her private life out of the spotlight.

The social media influencer said she wanted to share her story to highlight the “miracle” of her life and inspire couples facing similar struggles.

“I was told we couldn’t conceive, or that it would be difficult,” she said as she has stage three endometriosis, adenomyosis and only a single fallopian tube.

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing pain, inflammation and sometimes fertility issues. Adenomyosis is when the uterine lining grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, often causing heavy or painful periods. Having only one functional fallopian tube can reduce fertility, as eggs from the ovary on the missing side cannot reach the uterus.

“Then God and my cousin led me to Dr. CJ Omolida, my OB—a wonderful Christian doctor,” Bie said. “She has been there from the very start: diagnosing me, performing surgery to save my one good tube, helping us conceive naturally, guiding me through pregnancy, delivery and beyond.”

Bie also shared the Bible verse that sustained her through her diagnosis, Psalm 16:9-11:

"Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, for You will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will You let Your faithful one see decay. You make known to me the path of life; You fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand."
