Naomi shares details on her pregnancy, opens up on previous medical issues

Naomi has shared details on her pregnancy.

The former WWE Women’s World Champion and her husband Jimmy Uso were guests on a bonus edition of What’s Your Story? with Stephanie McMahon that dropped shortly after Raw. Naomi said that she found out on August 10, shortly before she was supposed to face IYO SKY in a match on last week’s Raw.

“In my hotel room. Had been feeling a little different, a little weird,” she recalled. “Just wanted to take a test to find out and make sure, kinda rule it out, not thinking because it’s been a long journey with fertility issues that I’ve had. So yeah, I really just didn’t think it was possible.” 

Later, she revealed that she was seven weeks pregnant and has already heard her child’s heartbeat. 

She revealed that before she made her debut on the main roster as a Funkadactyl, she underwent an oophorectomy, with her right ovary being removed. Additionally, in 2020, she underwent a procedure to remove fibroids from her uterus. 

“I had tons, and big ones,” she said.

“I remember the surgery. It was supposed to be a couple of hours, she was in there for six hours,” Uso recalled.

Naomi said that she had to take six months off due to the recovery process. She figured that given her previous medical history, the chances of her and Uso conceiving a child naturally weren’t that high.

“It was more intense and severe than they thought it was initially, and just the healing and also a lot of scar tissue so that also affected…the ability, on top of being older, I’m 37 now, and on top of only having one ovary, we thought for sure that naturally, I couldn’t anymore,” she shared.

The now-former Women’s World Champion also said that the pregnancy was high risk, but despite that, everything is going good so far.

“I’m going to have checkups more often, but everything’s looking good. We’re off to a good start,” she said.

The announcement of their pregnancy took place on Monday’s Raw. In an in-character promo, Naomi vacated the Women’s World Championship, warning whoever had the championship when she returns should proceed with caution.
