She talks about marriage. About children. About the family she will raise someday. 👰🏽👶🏽
She is 17 years old. In 100 level. Smart. Beautiful. Full of life.
But there is something she doesn’t know. Something her mother is terrified to say. 😔
Her period never came. Not at 13. Not at 15. Not at 17. Her mother thought different bodies, different timing. No rush.
But her daughter kept asking. Kept worrying. All her friends had started theirs. She felt left out. Alone. Confused. 🩸
So they went to LASUTH. Doctors ran tests. Then came the news that shattered everything.
Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH). A rare condition. Her daughter was born without a uterus. No womb. No period. No pregnancy. Ever. 💔
The mother hasn’t shown her the results. She keeps lying. “The doctor is still reviewing it.” But every day, her daughter asks. Every day, her heart breaks a little more.
“She talks about future husbands and children. What do I say? How do I tell her that her body will never do what she dreams of?”
This is not a movie. This is real life. And somewhere in Lagos, a 17-year-old girl is dreaming of motherhood not knowing her body was never built for it. 😢
Please share this story. Someone out there may have advice. A doctor. A counselor. A woman living with MRKH. This mother needs help. Now. 🗣️
