The battle of infertility
#voicethisout
The journey to becoming pregnant is not easy for many, the battle of infertility is real, and many women struggle within themselves to fight this battle.
To make things worse for them, there are people, unfortunately, sometimes their loved ones, who make this journey worse by nagging and putting them down because of their problems.
Recently what shook me were some messages from some women that read the below “ Anu ka, my husband wants to divorce me because I don’t have a baby”, “Anu ka, my inlaws are verbally abusing me because I am not pregnant yet”, and “Anu ka, my husband beats me every day because I am not becoming pregnant.”
My eyes fill with tears after typing this; how much of problems these women are going through just because they cannot make a baby. Do men go through something like this? Well no! It’s always the women and women alone to be blamed! Why?
Is the whole purpose of women’s birth only to make a baby?
Is the whole purpose of her marriage only to make a baby?
And worse, instead of supporting her battle this face, why do you have to kill her on the way.
The stress of trying to become pregnant is tough , but the stress given to her by people around her is double!
Nobody is perfect! We all have problems, Don’t we? But when it comes to any situation with fertility, why is it magnified as the worst sickness and the woman is made to feel terrible about her body?
I wish people were more inclusive about infertility!
I wish these women get the respect they deserve!
I hope they can live in peace!
Dear sister,
I have no words to console you, for you are battling a battle that is one of the toughest!
We, your sisters, will be with you by listening to you and supporting you!
We will pray that you have all the strength to face it!
Loads of love,
Fellow women
Dear society, even if you don’t respect her as a woman, it’s ok but please at least respect her as a human being!
Let’s raise our hands and protect our fellow sisters going through this arduous journey of infertility!
