The Nollywood actress Dayo Amusa has talked candidly about her difficult path to motherhood.
The movie star, who gave birth to her first child in the US on November 18, talked about her health issues and setbacks in a recent Instagram post.
She disclosed that in 2015, she was diagnosed with uterine myomatosis, which is the development of numerous uterine fibroids in a woman’s uterus, and that she had experienced three miscarriages.
According to Amusa, physicians suggested that she could need to have her womb removed because of her illness, but she declined.
“To anyone struggling and looking forward to her testimony, please know you are not alone. Nothing about this journey is easy,” she said.
“I never thought I would get to this moment but GOD knew,” she wrote.
“For as long as I can remember I knew I wanted to be a complete ideal woman ( a wife and mom ) Having had 3 miscarriages, in 2015, I was diagnosed with uterine myomatosis, and some doctors recommended removing my womb due to the complications and discomfort I experience every month during my menstrual cycle.
“I decided to fight and reject that option. I was on medications, injections and treatments to stop the growth of tumors until my uncle’s wife advised I come to UK for treatment.
“14th of Feb. 2015, I had the surgery to remove the tumor via TCRE Laparoscopy dye ovarian drilling procedure as I was really afraid of being open… In 2016 myself and my then partner decided to try again as we were so eager to welcome our 1st child together but later discovered one of my tubes was broken and it would be almost impossible to get pregnant naturally…
“Men as men, my then partner was involve with another woman unknown to me which produced a baby boy. After so many ups and downs, back and forth, na so the whole thing ended (Story for another day).
“Fast forward ⏩ Jan 2019 Myself and my supposed husband kept trying to no avail and then we decided to try IVF but yet all efforts were negative outcome. My supposed husband was really impatient with me, He was over 40yrs old and was insisting on having a child that year.
“He proposed if I could allow him to get someone else pregnant while am waiting on my miracle baby 😊 and when I couldn’t live with that, he walked away and ofcourse, got someone else pregnant months later and that produced him a baby girl.”
The actress previously explained that she concealed the child’s father’s identity to “maintain my peace”.
