Stop Clocking My Uterus

Most black women face society pressure to have babies. When will you have a family, a baby, or add another baby? But they fail to understand the reason behind it all.

Some women go through a lot of complications when it comes to having a baby. It could be infertility, miscarriages, effects of birth controls, or even pregnancy complications like gestational diabetes. Although you might feel you are doing the right thing by asking them why they do not have kids, it is always good to keep your unsolicited advice to yourself and be sensitive.

In today’s episode, I share with you how you can do that. From knowing what women go through in their journey to having a baby, common pregnancy complications, and being sensitive in such situations. This episode has all you need to overcome societal pressure, do what’s best for you, and let the will of God prevail in your life!
