Cape Town – After going through the various stages of pregnancy and delivering a baby with her husband Hungani, Stephanie Ndlovu returned to working in front of the camera but revealed that it has been one of her “greatest battles”.
The South African actress took to Instagram to share how she feels about returning to work and how her sudden return had not been premeditated.
“Getting back to work after a baby is a challenge for anyone, but getting back to being in front of the camera has been the greatest battle for me,” she wrote on Instagram.
“I still sometimes feel like a stranger in my own body (and mind) but this is a big one for me; not for the obvious reason but because I really didn’t plan to do this audition or any auditions, anytime soon, but I did it anyway because I’m constantly fighting against the desire to give up on myself.
“Today was tough, almost had a meltdown at this fitting, what started out as excitement quickly turned into frustration & I almost wanted to give up again.”

“Everyone has a different postpartum journey that lasts for how ever long it lasts, what’s important is that you show up for yourself, because you’re a freaking masterpiece,” she added.
“So, hard as it may be, I will continue to show up because I deserve to. To every new, old, single, struggling Mom- “YOU ARE EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN”- Shine✨,” she said leaving her followers a bit of inspiration.
