Yes, my apologies for not having stories up for a month!
Do keep the sharing community going. Insya Allah I will try my best to put up the stories.
There are also some who emailed me but prefer confidentiality and I respect that.
Salam sis,
I just read ure blog.. How time flies right.. I followed your entries even before you had Rania.. You shared how u went through pregnancy.. And there was ure delivery.. And now ure baby gerl is 8 months?? Wow..
How i wish i can be a mother myself.. Have been married for nearly 2 years.. Still have no children. I kept asking myself what went wrong.. I feel like giving up..
Most of the time, people ard will advise me not to think too much about it.. But i cannot hide this feeling.. This sadness.. Its wrong to question HIM... But i really can't help it sis.. I'm angry at HIM and myself for being this way. The most challenging part is to hear people ard me getting pregnant and going through delivery.. Every month there will be news about that... I know I ought to be happy for them. But i can't...
There was once i suddenly cried out loud in the car while my husband is driving. I thought i was.. But my mensus came. I couldnt hide my frustration and just broke down. My husband was shocked that he had to stopped the car at the expressway.
I think i almost went into depression thinking about this. Although my husband put on a strong front, but i can see sadness in his eyes too everytime we talked about this.
Dear Allah, I hope this wish of mine will come true soon..
Thanks for hearing me out sis..
Take care... Selamat Hari Raya...
Salam Nana,
Sorry this took ages for me to reply. If you have read my blog, I was not in a very good state back then.
Alhamdulillah things are slowly picking up and I was just thinking yesterday that maybe I will never have things as perfect as I felt the last time.
But then again, nothing is perfect.
I spoke to a very good man yesterday and I shared with him how I always feel uneasy. He advised me to selawat as much as I can.
I felt the difference. It was really about letting go.
Like how I shared his words of wisdom on my fanpage, Allah is the best Planner. Let Him pilot your journey.
I keep that at heart now.
I am lucky to be conceiving 3 months after I got married. I think even at that time, I didn't know if I was prepared or not. Plus I had quite a challenging pregnancy.
But many advised me that I will be a natural when the baby is born.
If you read through my diary of my first pregnancy, there was much skeptism on motherhood. Then when Rania was 2 months, I conceived without knowing and miscarried 2 months later.
One of my friends was married for almost 2 years, wanted to have a baby and when she did, she needed to go for a forced abortion at 8 weeks.
I thought that was very painful. But I guess things happen to us for a reason and He knows best. They said He will not test us where we can't. I am sure in times like this, it has made your marriage stronger because you only have each other.
Trust me, having a baby now will be an icing on the cake for both of you, especially when you have gone through so much. Please share with me the good news when the time comes.
*big hugs*
its better late than never but Selamat Hari Raya to you too :)
xoxo
Dear NuraMima,
ReplyDeleteIts me again.. totally understood this entry.. when i was 20, i told myself, I didnt want to get married nor have kids..funny how life always have a way to turn ard..Im now married and a mother of one daughter who's 2 yrs now..but before I had my beautiful daughter, i struggled with infertility issues for almost 2 yrs with my husband..tough for us..den Alhamdullilah, i conceive with Allah SWT's blessing..and motherhood too was a struggle for me..had post natal depression.. traumatizing journey..hard for me to adapt to motherhood.. Now, I know that I cant live without my daughter and I love my life..Syukur Alhamdullilah..
For all the sisters out der who is trying to conceive, I feel you sisters..banyak2 berdoa and berusaha..Insya-Allah..Dgn izinNya..
Mima, your last caption touched me tremendously; "No one can imagine having their own children, but when they are borned, no one can imagine life without them."
How apt.
Dear sis!
DeleteThere are so many ladies out there struggling to conceive. In fact, I know another lady who opens up a support group for women who feels distressed about the whole situation!
(Ladies! if you want to join the group, please email me. It is by invite only.)
It also doesn't help that there is a social stigma attached to it, people always wondering why and when you should get pregnant. Even I do get it when I just got married. One month later, many were asking.
Post natal is no joke. It didn't help that I didn't know I was having post-natal depression and it became unmanaged. But yes, just like you, I cannot live without my liitle girl. she is such a gem!
I am with you, always giving the ladies the motivation to keep going. Insya Allah the rezeki of zuriat is there for us. Just keep on trying!
I had difficulty conceiving for about 2 years too, for my no.2, and then I just totally gave up, I thought whatever lah, kalau ada, ada. Kalau tak, takper. Trust in Allah's plans for me.
ReplyDeleteSekali, Alhamdulillah got pregnant soon after!
So, to the lady who wrote in, I think the best is to NOT think about it. Maybe can also try see a gynae just to have a general check up. I did that, and I found out I had a cyst that needed to be removed etc, and that was contributing to the difficulty in getting pregnant.
Most of all , trust in Allah's plans for you. You are in my doa :)
Hi Shida,
DeleteYou make me scared! Cos while I am still trying to manage my health, I am keen to work out a number 2 soon enough. (number 3 if you consider the miscarried one)
I hope I can get a healthy pregnancy and be a happy mummy again.
It is true not to think about it. In fact, I have an aunty who was trying a baby during her first year of marriage and found out she has a SMALL cyst. something which the doc think it may not be necessary to remove.
but guess what, she removed and she got pregnant soon and then again and again and again and again and again and again. (was that 7 times?)
Yes, she has 7 kids!
Yes let's trust in Him and for the best of us!!
Thank you Shida!
xoxo
Insha'Allah you will, soon! You are in my doa too! *hugs
Delete(and wow total respect to your aunt! I can barely cope with 2! Haha!)
