Ufuoma McDermott Has A Message For People Who Look Down On IVF And Other Fertility Alternatives

Ace Nollywood actress, Ufuoma McDermott recently revealed that she had her son exactly two and a half years after her marriage through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), and she wants the world to know it’s no big deal.

Taking to her Instagram page, the actress shared a message for those who look down on women who have their children through IVF, Surrogacy, Adoption and other alternative pregnancy options.

It seems like someone must have trigged the mother of two and she felt the need to voice out and create awareness surrounding this stigma.

She wrote:

DO NOT DENY YOURSELF …If you so desire, the joy of #motherhood .

My son was born EXACTLY 2 And half years after we got married.
I wanted to wait. My husband obliged.
When we were ready, I wanted twins.
#IVF was the choice. We could afford it.
I had two embryos inserted. God decided Isio would stay.
On the 10th of October 2012 my beautiful #IVFBaby was delivered by C-section. 

SO WHAT???? This post is for all of you keyboard cowards trying to downplay and devalue the joys of a child’s arrival into a new “world” whether it’s by #Surrogacy#Adoption #ArtificialInsemination#DonorSperm #DonorEgg #DonorEmbryo#GIFT Gamete intrafallopian transfer #ZIFTZygote intrafallopian transfer … You are just illiterate chickens.
And to my fine women and men out there who wish on parenthood, there are options. Speak to your doctor and don’t let any illiterate chicken in the society stop you from pouring all that love unto a child no matter what method you decide on.
#TheArrivalOfAChildHeraldsJoy
Our society needs to wake up and appreciate the knowledge God has bestowed on doctors and medical practitioners.
#InternationalChildrensDay was yesterday, but I choose to celebrate all our children everyday

Ufuoma isn’t the only one who chose to have kids through IVF. The Former FLOTUS, Michelle Obama also took a similar path. Read more about her IVF experience here.
