Bridget Otoo, veteran media personality and staffer at the Office of the President under John Dramani Mahama, has publicly confirmed the birth of her second child with husband Dr Evans Ago Tetteh.

The former Metro TV presenter shared details of her post-baby weight loss journey, five months after welcoming her second child in March 2026.

Sharing beach photos of herself in an Instagram post on Thursday, August 20, 2026, Otoo noted that she weighed over 139kg at the time of her second child's birth in March 2026, a figure she described as one she was "terrified to even look at, let alone say out loud."

Bridget Otoo details weight loss journey

Rather than celebrate quietly, the media personality turned the milestone into a public commitment.

The presidential staffer announced her personal pledge, tagged (#Drop20LikeBee), which means she still has roughly 20kg to shed.

Crucially, she said the journey would be built around activities she genuinely enjoys: tennis, swimming, and walking around the house with her children. "Nothing extreme, just staying consistent," she wrote.

Otoo also acknowledged the particular challenge of losing weight while managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal condition known to make weight management significantly more difficult.

She credited an AI-powered nutrition plan, tailored around her PCOS history, and her physical trainer, Saddatfit, for supporting her progress.

"Where they say 'challenge', I see opportunity," she noted.

Otoo's post struck a chord well beyond typical celebrity health updates, largely because of her openness about the numbers, the PCOS diagnosis, and the unglamorous reality of postpartum recovery.

Counsellor on Bridget's baby, weight loss journey

Speaking to YEN.com.gh in an interview, Ama Nsroma, counsellor and head of the Nsroma Consult, detailed how partners and family members best support a woman who is navigating postpartum body changes.

She said:

"By fostering an atmosphere where the woman feels appreciated regardless of her weight or looks, partners and family members can provide support."

"They should appreciate the emotional and physical difficulties of pregnancy, childbirth, and caring for a newborn rather than commenting on how much weight she has gained or lost."

"Partners can help with childcare, home duties, and providing the mother with time for relaxation, exercise, or just some privacy. They shouldn't put pressure or criticism on her if she wants to improve her fitness. Instead, they should support her."
