When your Gynecologist tells you to get pregnant, even if you don’t feel ready, it’s like a sudden rush to speed up your life. It’s not just about marriage or weddings anymore; it’s about having a baby before you have even reached those stages. Those that society has set to be the routine; a checklist on how life should unfold.
Reflecting on childhood memories with a doll named Ellah. Most girls dream of being mothers; perhaps they deserve that chance. The simplicity of playing with a doll contrasts sharply with the complex decisions about motherhood. The transition from doll moments to the reality of needing to get pregnant as soon as possible introduces the harsh questions about the father’s role, the baby’s well-being, and societal judgments.
When reality hits you and you need to get a real baby (like to get pregnant ASAP!) You don’t think of the doll moments. You think of the father? Will he provide? Will he be understanding to the fact that you need to be pregnant? Actually can you both make a baby? Won’t the baby be a sicker? Will the baby lack? Will it get everything it needs? Will it respect your decision that you had to get pregnant before marriage? Many questions but no answers! Hunt for the father of your kid? Okay kids maybe.
Let’s not even talk about social media, especially on platforms like Facebook and Instagram, you see single mothers expressing their feelings through hashtags like #RichMom #MenAreTrash or advocating for #MenAreKings. But what about mothers who are pushed to have children before it’s too late? Before health conditions worsen, leading to decisions that might make the wrong man a father of your child. (Okay, is there something like a wrong father?) That when a lover of kids says, kids are innocent and a blessing from God. No matter the Father wrong or right…
A situation where the father might not be the right one, and the baby might suffer the consequences. It raises questions about the purity of the blessing when pressured into a decision for the sake of urgency.
Amidst the uncertainties, the narrative highlights the turning point when one turns to prayer, seeking guidance from a higher power. It’s about seeking for healing, a suitable life partner, blessings for the pregnancy, and hoping that this unconventional path to motherhood won’t destroy your future.
The friend’s defiant attitude, saying, ‘who cares about what people think of you! I know myself and my God. That’s enough,’ adds a touch of resilience and self-empowerment. Maybe this is the attitude we need; To seek God’s guidance and understanding His plan for us. By doing that, we may find the strength to live our best lives.
In the end so that we know that seeking a connection with God and understanding His plan might be the key to living one’s best life. It encourages a shift in focus from societal expectations to personal convictions and a deeper spiritual connection as you await.
May you find comfort and guidance in the arms of your faith as you await on the gift of the womb. 🙏
