The stress of infertility can destroy a woman. I realize i was having a miscarriage. We have been trying for ten years. Im chanel jones. From nbc news. Im a journalist and also a mom, wife, friend, sister ive listened to so many stories over the years about what happens behind closed doors. But i believe its time to com together and talk about it ive looped in some of my best friends and weve decided to share openly and honestly. Obviously this is happening to a lot of women. Especially black women just being able to help someone is why i want to tal to more people about it. Let people know. Every woman has a story this is ours i know each one of you in different ways, and i thin about we talk about the fairytal first comes love, then comes marriage and
it has definitely slowed dow the pace that they are able to match you. initially it was okay, 4 to months i have been waiting for seve months but honestly, the waiting ha allowed me to get to a place t recognize that everything ha its timing i know that i have done what i could and to position myself and my family to be able t grow, and i am at peace with allowing that process. thinking about my journe through womanhood, there wer times when i had no want t talk to and you learn so much, you didn t know about othe people, the minute you start t open up. sometimes you just have to tak the first step you shouldn t be alone in this and i think you feel less sham because you feel less alone. but there is such a communit in sharing it s okay to decide to do something different. yes and it s okay to stop and just reevaluate. because you are conditioned need to do these things.
