Making Baby Is Getting Harder... Posted: 01-18-06 08:46am
My grandmother's generation she had 10
children (1940s-1960s).
My mother's generation she 3 children
(1970s-1980s).
My generation, I am struggling to become
pregnant (2003-2006).
Since when did making baby became this
tough, let's all ladies trying to find out
the cause and we can solve the problem to
become mothers soon.
Some causes that I can think of:
1) those days mothers dun work, they are
housewife. Nowadays ladies are all
working, so too much stress at work and it
carries home, at times I through my anger
at my husband and he does that too.
2) food intake maybe we are not eating
healthy enough. Too much fast foods and
finger foods and fried foods, I guess.
Not enough of vitamins and proper healthy
diet.
3) side effect from medicines last time,
my grandmother makes remedies and home
herbal medicines but nowadays we take pill
and pills for everything. Not only doctor
medicine but we become doctors and take
medicines from the pharmacy shelves. To
the extent that some pain medicines have
no effect on us anymore.
I think by the time I become pregnant, I
can do a master degree in pregnancy.......
Hahahaha! So mush of info I have been
reading and reading in the internet...
R there anyone doing things like me?

It is harder to gety pregnant for some
such as myself. My grandmother and my
mother had no difficulties in conceiving
and giving birth, but it took me 2 very
long years to get my son and then it took
me 4 more years to concieve again which I
lost after 12 weeks of pregnancy and now
I am back playing the waiting game and it
has been another year. I read info
everyday on the internet and in books
about the subject and I have even been to
4 different doctors whom for some odd
reason cant find out what is wrong with me
now that I am 20 days late and apparently
not pregnant. I get my blood test back
tomorrow, but I have a gut feeling that it
will be negative. I am not good at this
getting pregnant thing and it is so
frustrating. If this test is negative
then I will be having that test done where
they put dye into your tubes to look for
blockages done in feb. So best of luck to
you and if you find any age old secret to
getting pregnant please share it with the
rest of us!

Same here too! I am reading anything that
I can get my hands on about pregnancy!
It seems to be turning into a slight
obsession! Lol! I have no idea why us
ladies are finding it hard to conceive
these days but in my case I already have 2
children, 2 boys, 4years and 20 months.
Both of these were happy accidents. We
are now going for baby no3, our 1st
planned baby. Why was it so easy for me
to fall pregnant with the other 2 when I
was on the pill and now that we are
desperately trying nothing happens? I
definitely think stress and pressure of
wanting a baby plays a big part! Good
luck to both of you! Let me know how you
get on! :)

U see what I mean, this waiting game is
making all of us experts in pregnancy
except for the fact that we are still ttc
and not there yet....
But dun loose hope, we will be there
definitely. We will have the babies we
want and deserve to have.
