Popular Nollywood actress Dayo Amusa has opened up about the emotional and physical challenges she faced before finally becoming a mother.
Recall Amusa welcomed her daughter, Oluwafirewamiri, in the
United States on November 18, 2024.
In a series of Instagram posts on Tuesday, Amusa recounted
her journey, marked by three miscarriages, personal setbacks, and a 2015
diagnosis of uterine myomatosis—a condition that nearly robbed her of the
chance to conceive.
She disclosed that following her diagnosis, some medical professionals
advised her to undergo a hysterectomy due to recurring complications and
excruciating menstrual pain.
Refusing to relinquish her dream of motherhood, Amusa
explored alternative treatments and eventually traveled to the United Kingdom,
where she underwent surgery to remove the tumors.
In her post, she stated, “I never thought I would get to
this moment but GOD knew. For as long as I can remember I knew I wanted to be a
complete idea 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 experienced every month during
my menstrual cycle. I decided to fight and reject that option.”
She revealed undergoing a surgical procedure on February 14,
2015, to remove the tumors.
However, in 2016, she discovered that one of her fallopian
tubes was damaged, making natural conception nearly impossible.
Despite her perseverance, Amusa faced further heartbreak in
2019 when a failed IVF attempt strained her marriage. The situation worsened
when her husband suggested having a child with another woman, leading to the
collapse of their union.
Reflecting on this painful period, she wrote, “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 involved 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).”
Dayo Amusa also shared how the toll of her struggles led to
depression and withdrawal from her career, family, and friends.
She credited her mother for recognising her declining mental
health and encouraging her to relocate to the United States in 2021 for a fresh
start.
Expressing gratitude for her eventual triumph, Amusa
concluded her post by acknowledging God and those who supported her through her
trials.
She described her story as a testament to resilience and
faith in the face of adversity.
