Despite what you might think, getting pregnant isn’t always easy. So many couples have problems conceiving and it can take years and for others, just one round of unprotected sex and GBAM! ….. They are pregnant whether it is wanted or not is another story.
We started trying for a baby straight away after our wedding and I remember one month passed, I wasn’t pregnant. Two months…..my sweet Mother-In Law called to say she dreamt of a baby in a basket (I guess that was her own way of knowing whether I was pregnant or not), my mother also called to remind me that I needed to start ante-natal visits as soon as I got pregnant…..but I wasn’t pregnant. I was already emotionally stressed. My husband and I agreed to see a doctor who did all sorts of check up, scans and prescribed some very ‘interesting’ drugs. I remember the so many times I knelt down, prayed and cried…..to God…and then, he answered!
The third month came and I missed my period. I had no problems during the pregnancy process and after nine months, I had TY. This unforgettable experience did not just give a “little” insight on what women go through, the psychological and emotional trauma, but also taught me a lot of life lessons; I can never understand and feel the pain a barren woman feels, nobody can….we can only support and reassure them that all will be fine and more importantly…..pray for them.
For years now, I have had a ‘spiritual’ list of couples who are experiencing difficulty in conceiving and bringing forth children and guess what! That list gets longer everyday…more couples need help and prayers. God has been faithful and he has answered MY PRAYERS for some couples on the list and I still trust and believe that more couples will experience this year with laughter, joy and the joy of parenthood.
It is my fervent prayer that all women who seek the fruit of the womb shall find it. Nothing is too difficult for God to handle and if you have to see your doctor for options……DO IT and be happy!They are pregnant whether it is wanted or not is another story.
