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

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.

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

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

My married life was very terrible because he started treating me like a dog. His father said he needed grandchildren so he should go and remarry. From there he started beating me all the time and insulting me. One night he tried to kill me with his bare hands, he pressed me till I could not shout or move. it’s just by the grace of God that I am alive.

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

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.

We are back home after five days in the hospital. I am glad I am home. I have lost myself but I know I will find me again. You ended before you even started. But I’m glad you started. For that short time of feeling you inside of me. That short time of being able to look at your dad and thinking with pride “we made this”. It was great. I felt really good. That was the closest I felt to being a mother. I am glad I felt you. #breakingthesilence

Growing up I thought one would meet someone, get married and have children automatically. To me, it was a cycle. …I realized the birth part wasn’t so automatic!

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
