Well I wish I knew it was not that easy to have children. When we were young they made it seem like you look at a Man and you get pregnant.

I have this fear of something going wrong. 40weeks of pregnancy, contractions and pushing the baby out have never been enough for me until I hear baby’s cry and get body contact. Honestly, after that incident, I have never felt confident until my baby drops and I hear its cry. #breakingthesilenceonmiscarriage

So today in the morning, I found that you were growing in me and it felt so good. Knowing there is love being nurtured and forming inside of me. I loved you before I knew you. And I know you will be great. You are already great. Can’t wait to feel you kick, stretch and roam inside me. Seeing you on a scan will be a dream come through. Thank you Allah. #breakingthesilence

Mama

Still today I can’t stop thinking about you. All the good things we will have together. All the fun and good times. You are always my strength even before you come. #breakingthesilence

Corona Celebration As a ttc woman, celebrations are the most difficult time. Today I didn’t dread the time at the mosque, I was not scared of all the cute children and I didn’t have to think about which of them ‘s age might correspond to my child. I didn’t think about how I will have to be smiling through all the various greetings and suggestive gestures of my ttc. I felt free for a long time COVID-19 Ramadan and Eid wasn’t so bad after all. #breakingthesilence

There are many ways of making a baby, trying harder is not part of most. #breakingthesilence

First time I repeatedly heard” kukuo no b) a na as3e na nsuo no hwie gu a 3ny3 hwee. (Meaning its only a problem when the pot breaks but if its contents pour, there is nothing wrong.) And nothing more was said. I still don’t get it. I was told to leave to God. #breakingthesilenceonmiscarriage

Church was awkward because people were always telling me they were praying for me and hoping that God would bless me with a child. At first, I was encouraged and then I was tired of hearing it because I was no longer praying that for myself.

Your privates are no more private. You cling to your health with hormones racing through your body.

When it doesn’t work it can be absolutely devastating. There are so many women hiding in plain sight suffering in silence. Nobody wants the world, to think that they’re defective or less than a perfect woman or less than capable. There’s just so much shame and mystery and guilt that surrounds fertility issues, that’s why I wanted to include it in my book because I’m tired it needs to stop.
