Dwyane Wade's wife, Gabrielle Union, opens up about how menopause made her uncomfortable as she became a mother for the first time in her life
A few weeks ago, the popular Hollywood actress, Gabrielle Union spoke to Marie Claire about how being on menopause and embracing motherhood made her experience a lot of uncomfortable emotions.
The 'Being Mary Jane' actress said, 'I was in perimenopause in my thirties, so I had some time to get used to hot flashes, memory loss, and hair loss.
What I didn't know, though, was that I had this autoimmune issue that greatly impacted everything.'
Gabrielle Union added, 'When we talk about that edge to your voice—that I wanted to eliminate by having more patience and more wisdom…menopause kind of just says, 'Ha!' And my patience can shrink on a dime. And it makes it hard.'
The popular actress continued, 'I just didn't want to be the person anyone avoided.'
