Mother of two and star actress, Ufuoma McDermott has revealed that she conceived her son through assisted reproduction technology and made a case for women who did not conceive or gave birth naturally.
It is no surprise that some women have it easier than others when it comes to fertility and related issues. What is surprising is that many mums who sought help through IVF are viewed with bias in many quarters.
The actress took to her Instagram page to speak on the subject and also slammed those who shame women who conceive through Assisted Reproduction and encouraged hopeful mums to explore all available medical options

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.
