If it was that easy I would have taken my bra off and dressed like a sun angel a long time ago, I would be at regular meditation retreats, fulling my time with yoga and listening to cd’s of whales crying, it’s not. I don’t know why people think relaxing will make you pregnant. Just because you maybe a little uptight doesn’t mean your partners sperms are going to be too stressed to swim, or your eggs are so wound up they are bursting. Yet it was for me the most dished out piece of advice (clearly from very relaxed people). It really does make me laugh. Aside from the fact I don’t think relaxation makes a baby do you know how hard it is to relax when you are timing your intercourse, when you have everything riding on this moment all the while trying to stay focused yet laying there saying to yourself “just relax”. Sex is great but relaxing it is not and ttc, well that is anything but relaxing.
“It will happen when you least expect it” hahahaha WHEN WILL I LEAST EXPECT IT! I am constantly expecting it. It’s not like one morning I’m going to wake up and totally forget I’m trying to have a baby – I wish, I would be damn grateful for the break.
This longing for a baby really isn’t something you can turn off, which does concern me……… will I be 60 and still have these wants and desires for a baby? Of course hopefully by then I’ll be gearing up for grandbabies but at what point do you call it a day. I know I am not there yet, far from it but it is something that worries me about the future, there are so many women that have had to face these struggles and I just don’t know how they have overcome it. I’m already concerned for the well-being of our dog, she thinks she is human, I am one step away from dressing her and shoving a dummy in her mouth. I think if we are 60 and childless we will have at least 10 dogs and that is not a pretty thought, for us or our neighbors.
However I will try to relax, not because I think it will make me pregnant but because it will probably make me a better mum to my dog.
