Mrs Omolara Irurhe
Mrs Omolara Irurhe on Monday June 16 delivered her first child, a baby girl through Invitro Fertilization (IVF) at a Lagos hospital.
The 60-year-old new mother began Invitro Fertilization (IVF) treatment at the St. Ives Hospital in Lagos began in 2010 and four years after what began as a seed hope four years ago culminated in the delivery of her child.
The new mother who is currently filled with so much joy after her many years of visit to various hospitals both within and outside the country in search for a child said:
"I believe we should not limit God and what the doctors can do in this modern age. I give glory to God, we kept our faith in God I believe this is the appointed time. I was very hopeful throughout the years I was childless and I remained focused on God. We went to many hospitals but we didn't give up. We didn't have much pressure, even though our marriage is cross cultural –I am Yoruba; my husband is Edo- but we remained hopeful," she said.
Mrs Omolara also spoke about having other children saying: " I don't know if I will have another baby, but if the doctors say I can, I will try it," she said.
Advising other couple in similar situation she said: "I will advise couples who are trying to get a baby to try the IVF. My case has rekindled hope for the barren woman. I will say the couple should relax and take it as it comes, they will surely smile," the mother said.
