Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Tiwa Savage has opened up about her decision to freeze her eggs as a way to preserve her fertility for the future.
The mother of one explained that freezing her eggs was a precaution in case she decides to have more children later in life. Speaking candidly in an interview with Zeze Mills, the 42-year-old singer expressed some regret about not doing it sooner.
She urged women in their 30s to consider freezing their eggs to take control of their reproductive health.
“Having my first child in my 30s was beautiful because I was more financially and emotionally stable. One advice I will give to women in their 30s is – whether you wanna have children or not, egg freeze,” Tiwa said.
“I wish I did it earlier. But I’ve done it now. I don’t know if I want more kids but in case I do, I’ve done that [frozen my eggs] just that have that insurance. Because I don’t know if we are born with a certain amount of egg reserves, you could wake up at 36 and your egg reserve is done. And then that’s when you now decide that you want to have kids. So, I’m really a big advocate for egg freezing now.”
Tiwa Savage welcomed her first child at 34 with her then husband, Teebillz, on July 22, 2015.
