Ways women who were trying to conceive finally got pregnant

?

Pregnancy is supposed to happen simply but this is not always the case. When the yearning for a child comes, it brings with it a void that can only be filled by conceiving and this makes it very harrowing when unable to. As with many things concerning sexuality, women bear the brunt of infertility, never mind it actually takes two to tango. In the African Traditional Society, if a woman approached one year of marriage with no signs of a growing belly, she would rather have discreetly found another man to perform the deed, lest she brought shame to her husband. Today women don’t have to resort to such extreme measures as cultures have evolved and some level of awareness has seen the responsibility for fertility shift to both sexes. Still, most interventions involve the woman and the following unorthodox approaches have led to positive results.

Fertility massages

Alternative medicine is usually recommended when conventional medical intervention fails or because its use of natural elements is seen as less invasive. The techniques used in fertility massages address a range of fertility issues by clearing up blockages, decreasing inflammation, promoting hormonal balance, increasing circulation and as with any other type of massage, they also reduce pain and stress. In Kenya, one Mama Jimmy who has been a midwife since1985 specializes in these massages. Her process involves an examination of the reproductive system, followed by a series of massages which she combines with a range of herbal medicines either inserted into the uterus or taken orally. The massage process takes five days and two months of follow up.

Detox

Toxins in the body hinder normal bodily functions including reproduction. Fertility detoxes focus on the liver and uterus – they encourage the liver to cleanse the body of toxins and excess hormones and support the uterus to cleanse itself of old stagnant blood, increase circulation to the uterus and tone uterine tissues. This in turn resolves some fertility issues completely and creates a conducive environment for conception and successful pregnancy.

St Anne’s Novena

St Anne was the mother of the holy Virgin Mary and is often invoked as the patron saint of mothers. She is seen as favored by God because she spent many years without children, and faced ridicule and sorrow because she could not conceive. Both her and her husband St Joachim separately pleaded to God to take away their sterility, promising that they would dedicate their child to the service of God, and it is then that they were blessed with Mary. St Anne’s Novena requires nine days of dedicated prayer in which you clearly cite your intention for the prayer, in this case fertility.

Be Still

Anxiety, worry and stress negatively affect normal body functions like sleep, appetite, aptitude and conception is not an exception. Trying to conceive puts a couple on edge because of strict adherence to the ovulation calendar, scheduled sex, medicine and endless medical procedures; add to this month after month of negative pregnancy tests and this can easily breed stress and depression. Many couples have confessed that it was only after they quit the schedule and resorted to a more natural flow of intimacy that they finally conceived.
