'Nobody tells you!': Cardi B says childbirth 'broke' her vagina

Cardi B has admitted that she found childbirth much harder than she expected.

The rapper welcomed her first child, a girl she and husband Offset named Kulture, in July.

Chatting to TV host Jimmy Kimmel on his late-night show, Cardi said no one had told her she would end up in stitches after giving birth.

“It was totally harder [than I expected].

“She broke my vagina. You know, why nobody told you about those things? Nobody told me they were going to stitch my vagina.

“People just be like, ‘Oh, when you give birth it’s going to hurt,’ but nobody tells you.”

The 26-year-old said that she’s loving her new role and that she wishes she’d become a mum sooner.

“I am enjoying it. It’s the best. It’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, I should’ve had you when I was a teenager.’

I needed a girl like you.?KK

“This is what I’ve been missing my whole life.

“I do need a rest. But oh my God. Like the happiness that my baby brought me. I could do this over and over again.”

She added that she’s hoping to expand her brood and would like “three or four” more children.
