My wife didn’t get pregnant immediately after we got married. At first, we were happy because we weren’t ready for children.
But when we became ready and started expecting, nothing was forthcoming.
Some months, whenever her period was delayed, we would become hopeful, only for the pregnancy test to come out negative.
It was disappointing, and she gradually became worried.
People even started mocking us on Facebook.
Someone would comment on her posts, “Don’t go and give birth for your husband, stay there and be playing.”
Others would ask me, “Can’t you impregnate your wife?”
We kept smiling, creating content, and preaching about building a beautiful family, but deep down, we were hurting.
We never doubted God, but people's words were painful.
Imagine our joy when she finally got pregnant after more than two years of waiting, only for us to lose our baby at birth.
Imagine waiting for years, thinking the Lord has finally done it, and still losing what you prayed for.
Some couples have waited eight years, conceived, and still lost their babies. Others have experienced multiple miscarriages.
I know someone that waited 15 good years, got pregnant with twins and still lost it.
You see this child birth thing? It is a lot and nobody truly prepares you for the challenges.
Abeg, learn to be kind to people.
