Some Nigerians Said I Damaged My Womb Before Marriage – Adesua Etomi

Nollywood actress, Adesua Etomi has come out to share a heartfelt testimony about her delivery on social media. The movie star recently revealed how she lost a set of twins, went through failed IVF processes, waited endlessly for a child until she and her husband got blessed with their baby boy, Zaiah this year.

According to her, they both got married in 2017 and wanted to have their kids quickly, but the expected kids weren’t forthcoming for a long time, and it was a terrifying experience.

Adesua added that having her own child at last is definitely a big relief because she was getting tired of some Nigerians saying she had damaged her womb before marriage.

Adesua said, ”We got married in 2017 after Banky had disturbed my life and I was like okay, let’s marry.”

“We had planned our lives out and we were like this is what is going to happen, we would be so busy so we might as well get the children out of the way. Lets do it now and just let it come through. And then nothing happened.”

“And then we tried and nothing happened. And I remember having a conversation with Banky and I was like, lets go do IVF. Banky was like calm down, it hasn’t even been a year. Give it a year.”

“A year came. When it was 11 months and a couple of days, I was like hey, how far? It’s been a year. Let’s go try IVF. And we prayed about it. We did pray and by the grace of God we got pregnant with twins”

”It was like a monthly disappointment and anyone would tell you that when you want a child, even one month or two months seem like such a long time talkless of people that have waited for years and years. So, it was constant disappointment and trying to stay in the place of faith and knowing that you serve a God that doesn’t lie and knowing that you serve a God that can do it but for some reason, he is just really kind of slow in your opinion.”

“We got pregnant with our son after two and a half years and I can tell you that every single day of those two and a half years, someone trolled me…..everyday. I couldn’t have an opinion without someone say ‘go and born’. I couldn’t say anything without someone say ‘get out… go and have a child, you are barren, you did something with your womb. I heard all soughts.”

”So we got pregnant with twins and we had gone for the scan and we had seen the heartbeats. During a routine checkup, we went back to the hospital to have a scan and I just saw the doctor’s face.”

“You know when something is wrong, sometimes you can tell. She was scanning and I was like what is wrong and she was like oh no nothing. And I looked at the nurse’s face and she looked a bit funny two and I was like what’s wrong? She was like Adesua, I am looking for the heartbeat. And I said for two of them? And she said yes.”

“I started laughing because it didn’t make any sense to me. And so I went home and I remember being in our living room, I literally collapsed on the floor and I wailed. Wailing is not the same thing as crying. Wailing is a deep groaning in your chest’.”
