Nanny to Mommy

Fertility isn’t something that we talk about too often, and a lot of the time, many of us don’t have a clue as to whether we are fertile or not and how fertile we are until we actively start trying to conceive a child. However, understanding fertility is important. Here’s more information on the subject that can help you to get to grips with the basics!

The journey to starting a family is unique to each person. For some, it seems to happen without them even thinking about it. For others, conception is a far longer process. So if you've been trying to have a baby for a while now, and it hasn't happened yet, try not to worry too much - it's said that one in seven couples experience some difficulties conceiving. There is so much that modern medicine can help with, and our understanding of the causes of infertility is advancing all the time.

Your first port of call should be your family doctor, who can make some tests to determine whether you have any underlying conditions which may be preventing you falling pregnant, such as endometriosis or polycystic ovary syndrome. But there are also lifestyle factors you can choose to address yourself. Taking steps to boost your fertility naturally can help you feel more in control of the situation and maximize your chance of falling pregnant naturally.

I don't know if I have really talked about this before. It is something that is very personal to me. I wanted to have children for as long as I can remember. Children were always a part of my life goals. So when I met my hubby, that was one of the FIRST things I asked him, if he wanted to have children. We got married relatively young, I was 21 and he was 23. And we both knew we wanted to be married at least a year before we got married, but then one turned into two then two and a half...

 

 

At family events, people would ask us constantly when we were going to try to have a baby. They would really ask me specifically. Which if you think about it, it's really too personal of a question for anyone to ask. But it was still very difficult to have to just shrug and smile, when inside I felt like crying because I was yearning for a baby. And it felt like everyone around me was getting pregnant and although I was happy, I was a little bit envious as well. Especially when it "just happened". Well why didn't it "just happen" for me?
