Bettinna Carlos revealed that she recently experienced a health scare that made her think she would be celebrating her last Mother’s Day after she was taken to the hospital for what started as a headache.
The former actress and TV host detailed her experience in a recent Instagram post as she shared a photo of herself lying in a hospital bed, with an IV attached to her arm.
“I thought this was going to be my last Mother’s Day. I didn’t know so much stress could actually lead to this kind of headache called a tension headache. My head has never hurt like this my whole life! After 2 ER visits in 12hrs and a very scary MRI for this claustrophobic, I still feel like dying every time I sit up. Scans were negative of anything more serious than muscle spasms,” she wrote.

Carlos said that at the moment, “relaxants and heating pads” have been helpful to her as she thanked the people who took care of her children while she was hospitalized.
“Through all this physical pain, we are so thankful for friends who gladly took our girls in even if it meant pushing their Mother’s day plans. Thankful for the love of our spiritual family sending food treats, entertainment prayers and all,” she expressed.
The “Temptation of Wife” actress then reflected on how she handles stress, which she said seems to indicate that God is trying to teach her something.

“Now as I lay flat in bed with a heating pad on my back, neck and head, I’m prayerfully rethinking my response to stress. How can it not get to me so much that it brings me to this point? How should I change the way I view something as ‘stress’ that I may respond to it better? How do I relax??? Such a painful way to learn but God knows how I’d best learn,” she stated.
Carlos also gave a shout-out to her firstborn after taking the initiative to look after her little sister due to the absence of helpers because of Mother’s Day and election events.
“It was also such a blessing seeing our firstborn rise up and really take care of her sissy. It’s also timely that all this happened while Amina’s yaya was on a day off for mothers day and elections. It was just us and God in and through our community. Thank you Lord You are [still] so good, always good,” she concluded the post.
Carlos is married to businessman Mikki Eduardo in 2020. They share one daughter, Amina. The actress-turned-content creator also has a daughter, Gummy, from her previous relationship.
