Actress Binta Ayo Mogaji recounts having only child at 40 with one fallopian tube

Veteran Nollywood actress, Binta Ayo Mogaji, also known as Mama Insurance recounts becoming a mother at 40 after removing her fallopian tube.

On the “Talk To B” podcast, she revealed that she had undergone surgery to remove a fallopian tube due to an ectopic pregnancy, but still managed to conceive naturally with her remaining tube.

Mogaji confessed that she had considered adoption at some point if she hadn’t gotten pregnant by 40.

Interestingly, her son was born just weeks after her 40th birthday and at the time, she and her son’s father weren’t interested in marriage, but she embraced motherhood with joy.

“Unfortunately enough, the pregnancy was ectopic. They took me to seven different hospitals. The doctor said he wasn’t sure I could survive until the next day. The operation took them, like, seven to nine hours. Some of my colleagues who visited me at the hospital were crying.

“The surgeons had to remove one fallopian tube. But I’m living with one and I had my child through natural birth.

“I stopped looking for a husband; I wanted to make a baby. I said if I don’t have a baby until I’m 40, then I’ll adopt a child.

“[My partner], Jibola came shortly before I was 40 because I had my baby six weeks after I became 40 years old. But he didn’t want to get married as well.”
