What is infertility?
In simple terms, it is a condition where one struggles to conceive.In my journey I also learnt that there are different stages to it:
Primary infertility - one is diagnosed with it if there has never been any pregnancy
Secondary infertility - is when a person has had one pregnancy.
What was the diagnosis on your case?
I was diagnosed with secondary infertility
It was discovered that I had an inverted uterus (womb) meaning my womb was tipped backwards.
The cause of it in my case was discovered to have been a bleeding cyst on my left ovary.
I had a minor operation done (hysteroscopy) which helped with this diagnosis and I receive treatment and it was confirmed I should be able to conceive
How does spirituality link to infertility?
Immediately after the operation I started looking for ways of helping heal my womb so I can be able to conceive. I discovered that as we are spiritual beings having a human experience, there are some other issues at play in the spirit that also cause infertility
In my case, when I had my 1st child I swore that I will never have another child because of the pain I endured during delivery. It's like I told my womb to never conceive because it was harmful to us. This resulted in this trauma being stored in my womb and because words are a powerful creating tool, I called it to be.
I was also not raised by my own mother whom at some stage felt that I was being taken away from her but I am the fruit of her womb. Because of this feeling within her, it also created some turmoil/chaos in the spirit
Lastly, as mentioned in the past article where I shared how the relationship between yourself, mother and grandmother affects your well being, it turned out that my grandmother's mother died after giving birth to her.
These are the traumas that I had stored in my womb where my womb was unconsciously preventing me from suffering.
These are some revelations that seemed to be case with me, some of my coaching clients and those that I've shared with information with before.
What are some of things you discovered were the case with others?
Other contributing factors were/are:
Not having a great relationship with the mother, where for an example one will swear not to be like their mother and bring a child to this earth to suffer
Having had an abortion or thinking of having one
Being raped or being born from rape
Being born after a still born child
Mother experiencing something traumatic during her pregnancy with you
And many more
How does one begin to heal this ordeal?
Forgive your mother for whatever she did or didn't do
Forgive yourself if you uttered words that were not good towards motherhood
Seek professional help and go for diagnosis and start treatment
Cleanse yourself
Invest in womb healing and health
I know this might sound unbelievable but it does work and all efforts put towards it are so worth it. Don't suffer in silence or even give up on yourself especially if you really want this.
