Actress Ayo Mogaji reveals she gave birth to her only child at 40

Nigerian veteran actress, Binta Ayo Mogaji, also known as Mama Insurance, has revealed that she welcomed her first child when she was 40 years old.

Mama Insurance, who is currently 60, said that despite having just one fallopian tube, she gave birth to her child through a natural process.

She made this known while fielding questions on ‘Talk To B’ podcast, where she revealed that she underwent surgery to remove one of her fallopian tubes due to an ectopic pregnancy.

The mother-of-one said she had made up her mind to adopt a child if she didn’t have her own child after turning 40, and as fate would have it, she gave birth to her son a few weeks after she celebratring her 40th birthday.

Mogaji stated that at the time, she didn’t want to get married, and the father of her son was also not interested in getting married as well.

The actress said; “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.”
