How to cope with social pressure when struggling to conceive
The month of May is widely considered a time of love and fertility.
Even the great poet K. H. Mácha describes this month as the season of love.And it’s no wonder - nature is in full bloom, everything is growing, flourishing, and... bearing fruit.
Everywhere around us, we see loving couples kissing under blossoming cherry trees, expectant mothers gently caressing their pregnant bellies, and tiny baby feet peeking out from strollers.M.E.G Bio Bach Flowers help ease the stress associated with infertility, envy towards others, and the pressure we put on ourselves.
But not every woman finds this sight comforting
Women who are still waiting for their chosen one may feel a deep heartache when they catch a glimpse of intertwined hands of lovebirds, and the loneliness stings like a crown of thorns.
Then there are women who have a loving partner by their side but desperately wish to start a family and welcome a new member, who just doesn’t seem to arrive.
Every month, with tears in their eyes, they realize their period has arrived again, and once more, it hasn’t worked out.
They feel sad, they may lose hope, joy can fade from life (and even intimacy), and they may even struggle to find meaning in life.
Loneliness can also become overwhelming—not only can it create distance between partners, but a woman may feel isolated simply because she does not yet have her longed-for baby in her arms.
Unfortunately, insensitive questions from society, colleagues, or even family do not help:
“So, when will there be more of you?”
“When can we expect grandchildren?”
“You’re not getting any younger; you should have children already.”
As if the pressure a woman puts on herself wasn’t enough.
Our thoughts shape our feelings
If we are unable to manage our minds and effectively work with emotions, they can become stuck and take complete control over us.
Ultimately, this can mean that our mental state affects how our body functions.
Dr. Bach understood this connection and emphasized treating the root cause of issues, which often lies in our minds.
When couples struggle to conceive for a long time, the mind plays a crucial role.You may have heard stories of women who couldn’t get pregnant for years, not even through IVF.
Then they decided to adopt, and within a few months or at most a few years, they unexpectedly and naturally conceived their own child.
How is that possible?
They relaxed, accepted the situation, found joy in their adopted baby, stopped pressuring themselves, and shifted their focus elsewhere.
Their minds calmed down, they felt fulfilled and at peace, and at that moment, nothing was stopping another little soul from joining their family.
Conception struggles can also occur with a second or third child
With the client’s permission, I’d like to share an anonymous story that reflects what many women experience today.
"I got pregnant unexpectedly while studying at university with my long-term partner.Barely had I given birth to our first child when people started asking
‘So when’s the second one coming?’
‘You should try for a little girl now, right?’
I wasn’t able to stand up for myself back then.I was the ‘good girl’ who was afraid to voice her own opinion, so I quietly endured the pressure and inappropriate questions from those around me.
"When our child turned three, everyone was curious about when we’d give them a sibling.
Each family gathering filled me with dread, afraid someone would ask again.At home, I cried because it hurt so much.
We wanted another baby so badly, but no one knew that I had suffered a miscarriage - the most painful loss I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.
Trying to conceive again was unsuccessful.
Every month, I saw only one line on the pregnancy test.
I was devastated, overwhelmed with guilt that I couldn’t give my husband another child, that he might never hold another baby in his arms.
After all, all my friends conceived their second baby after three years, so why not me?
I felt like I couldn’t take it anymore.
All my deeply buried, unresolved traumas started surfacing.
My thoughts grew darker, and my days became sadder. “
Then I came across Bach Flowers.
At that moment, I realized this was exactly what I needed - working with my thoughts and emotions.I started taking customized drops, and the changes came quickly.
Suddenly, I could stand up for myself.
I wasn’t afraid to speak my mind—I was finally heard, and those around me were surprised.Most importantly, I started paying more attention to my own needs.
Once our child turned three, they started kindergarten, and I went back to work.Deep down, I knew this was exactly what I needed at that time.
I felt a strong urge for self-fulfillment.Two years passed, and we decided to try again, but this time differently.
To support both of us physically and mentally, we started taking Prenatex, and after three months, two lines finally appeared on the test."
If you’ve been struggling emotionally during your fertility journey, I highly recommend working on your thoughts, emotions, and painful past experiences that may be standing in the way of pregnancy.
