Recent data shows how an estimate of about 130 million babies are delivered in all parts of the world per year, bringing new hope, happiness, and thousands of laughter to their families. But, did you know that amid this rate, there are also a lot of couples that are having difficulty conceiving? A statistics conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, showed one out of 100 couples are infertile and about 12 or 13 of them are already losing patience and determination in becoming pregnant, as reported by the US Department of Health & Human Services.
If you are one of those people who are stuck in that situation and is already suffering from stress and anxiety, there are several things you have to know. Here are some of them:
DON'T BLAME YOURSELF. IT'S NOT ANYONE'S FAULT.
In situations such as this, it is indeed inevitable to blame yourself for it. There may be factors that make it harder for you to conceive like health problems, stress within the environment, and your partner's reproductive system but know that your fate isn't your choice and you don't have to blame yourself for that. Instead, focus on what to do. Focus on the things that could help you and make your situation better.
NOT EVERYONE CAN BECOME PREGNANT IN AN INSTANT. SOME EVEN TAKE YEARS.
One of the things that pressure newlywed couples nowadays is the expectation they get a few months after their wedding. Everyone seems to expect them to conceive as soon as possible. Because of it, couples have no choice but to make sure to do everything to reach that expectation.
With a negative result, couples tend to lose their patience and faith but know this should not be the case. Most people around the world, according to recent research, don't instantly get pregnant. The results reveal that around 84 out of every 100 couples take time to become pregnant. So, there's no need to stress yourself too hard. Give yourself more time.
YOU CAN STILL GET HELP.
Do not feel hopeless. You might be waiting to become pregnant for almost a decade now, but know there is still time. You can do something about it. Speak to your doctor about your situation and ask about your health situation. With today's advancement in technology, there are already a lot of options you surely could choose from.
Bearing a child doesn't just happen overnight, as revealed by Readers Digest. It is not something we can rush. This will take time depending on several factors. So, just believe and have faith.
