We had our daughters through IVF – Michelle Obama reveals
The former First Lady of the United States , Michelle Obama , has revealed that she and her husband , ex -President Barack Obama , had their two children — Malia and Sasha — through the in – vitro fertilisation.
Michelle said that after marriage , she and the ex – president had trouble achieving pregnancy ; and that when she finally became pregnant , she suffered a miscarriage . Eventually , they had to settle for the IVF , through which they both had their two children — both girls .
Michelle ’ s journey to motherhood was everything but easy , it turned out , as she claimed that even when she agreed to have an IVF , her husband ’ s frequent absences from the home compelled her to sometime go it alone, as she had to administer the injections that were a part of the IVF process all by herself .
The revelation was contained in her memoir , Becoming , as reviewed by the Washington Post .
First daughter Malia Ann was born on July 4 , 1998 ; while Natasha ( aka Sasha ) , was born on June 10 , 2001 , according to the family ’ s Wiki entry .
It may be recalled that , on March 17 , 2017 , aol . com published a trending news which it identified as fake , stating that the Obama family was the subject of an article stating that a man had filed a lawsuit claiming he was the biological father of the Obama daughters , Sasha and Malia .
The article — which came from the satirical entertainment website The Last Line of Defense — says a man named Ezekiel Wilekenmeyer Williams filed a lawsuit with the backing that Dunstrom Pharmaceuticals had hired him to provide sperm donations for Barack and Michelle Obama some 20 years ago .
The article also claimed that the so- called biological father was white .
An excerpt from the article states : “ Williams, who has four PhDs from MIT and Oxford , sits first chair violin in the London Philharmonic Orchestra and is a world champion chess and Texas Hold ‘ Em player , says the original agreement was that if his offspring became famous , he would receive recognition for being their father . ”
In the memoir , as shared by the Washington Post , however , Michelle Obama laid the issue to rest .
The Post writes , “ She also shares intimate details for the first time , for instance , that she and her husband had trouble getting pregnant , suffered a miscarriage , and that both daughters were conceived through in vitro fertilization .
“ And that she did a great deal of this while her husband was away serving in the state legislature , leaving her to administer the shots that are a part of that process herself . ”
