At 40 I Had My Only Child With One Fallopian Tube – Actress Ayo Mogaji

The seasoned Nollywood actress Ayo Mogaji has shared personal details about how she became a mother at 40 years old using only one fallopian tube.

In a podcast episode held by Nollywood actress Abiola Adebayo on Friday, she recounted her life story and revealed that, despite only having one fallopian tube, she gave birth to her child six weeks after turning 40.

Slender and hollow, the fallopian tubes are situated on either side of the uterus. They act as routes for the movement of eggs from the ovaries into the uterus.

Mogaji said;

“There was this lawyer who wanted to marry me because he had been in a marriage for 14 years and they never had a child. He took me to his mum and I was looking for a child that period. Our mothers were introduced and I got pregnant.

“Unfortunately, the pregnancy was ectopic. It stayed right inside the fallopian tube and LUTH was on strike at that time. So, by the time we realised what was happening, they took me to seven hospitals and the late Uncle Ede Aderinokun was the one who gave me a note to the hospital where they admitted me.

“They didn’t even want to admit me. The doctor said he wasn’t sure if I could survive till tomorrow and I said “Do you believe in God? Even if you do not believe in God, believe in me because I believe in God. We did not have an agreement that I was going to die like this.’ They did the operation and it took them seven to nine hours the following day.

“Fortunately or unfortunately, the ectopic pregnancy ruptured before they could do anything and it ruptured my appendix, so they had to remove one fallopian tube. I am living with one and I had my child through natural birth with that one I have left.”

Speaking about her love life, she recalled that she fell in love and got married but her partner was abusive for the 13 years of their marriage.

She said, “When matrimony leads you to a place where you can’t have your own friends, the family can not come, you will start looking at them somehow, even knowing the kind of job you were in before you got married. The reaction at home, the abusive language, the physical abuse, the mental torture; when it gets too much, I will advise anybody to get out of that kind of marriage because otherwise, they may come and meet your candle.”

On whether she could reconcile with her ex-husband, she said, “There can’t be room. If I could tolerate that thing for 13 years thinking there could be a change, then there can never be change. He is not a bad person but when you are too jealous and have a complex, it is very hard. It can’t work. You can try to make your marriage work, yes you can try.”

You are indeed a living testimony that God still performs wonders. Have got so much admiration for you ma’am.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy

One ❤️❤️❤️
