Nollywood actress Dayo Amusa recently shared her powerful story of overcoming immense personal and medical challenges to finally welcome her first child, Oluwafirewamiri, born on November 18, 2024, in the United States.
In an emotional Instagram post, Amusa detailed her experience of enduring three miscarriages and being diagnosed with uterine myomatosis in 2015. This condition, which caused debilitating pain and complications, led doctors to recommend the removal of her womb. Refusing to accept this fate, she sought alternative treatments and underwent surgery in the UK to remove tumors.
However, her challenges persisted. In 2016, she discovered one of her fallopian tubes was damaged, making natural conception nearly impossible. A failed IVF attempt in 2019 further strained her marriage, eventually leading to its breakdown when her then-husband proposed having a child with another woman.
The setbacks deeply affected Amusa’s mental health, leaving her depressed and withdrawn. Encouraged by her mother, she relocated to the United States in 2021, where she began a fresh chapter.
Reflecting on her journey, she wrote:
“I never thought I would get to this moment, but GOD knew. Having had 3 miscarriages and being told to remove my womb, I decided to fight. After numerous surgeries, medications, and heartbreak, I am here today, holding my miracle.”Amusa’s story is an evidence to resilience, faith, and the importance of seeking support in difficult times.
