It’s desire of any woman to carry her on baby,but sometime it become impossible and the waiting is long, especially for married women who are challenging traditional beliefs about womanhood. Recently I met,two women who are still waiting for the blessings of the womb. The third lady she went through miscarriage twice, a story how women carry blames of not having children in marriages and how society look upon then. This first lady her name is Ednah not her really name name narrates how she wanted kids to kick in her womb. A game of saying how many kids that she wanted, but the older she got,she had to acknowledge the truth,that she was coming to an end of her dream,which is that she is not going to have kids. I met Magdalene at Kapsabet Tuloi area this woman,she is married for 11 years and about 6 months, she call herself a waiting room by this she mean,they have been waiting for the blessing of a child that long period with her husband.They went to the hospital,the doctor said that she had ovarian cysts.Years later she had to be taken in for surgery, to try and deal with the cysts. That was cleared and life continued. She was really hopeful,she knew she was going to have children. And three years later,it was not happening,four upto 11 years now.

The story of Jennifer it’s heartbreaking as i interviewed her journey of miscarriage as when i met her at Kitale town, she acknowledge her journey to motherhood has not been easy.
She had two miscarriages and finally one successful pregnancy, of the twins girls.She had her first loss around may 2015,at 26 weeks.She was diagnosed with what they call an incompetent cervix. Which sadly you only learn after one losses the first pregnancy. Luckily she got pregnant three months later.She lost it at 26 weeks.

The most difficult in there waiting journey is the pressure everywhere,criticism, insults,the things they go through as women.Some are told are promiscuous.That they I ‘ve had so many abortions that they are infertile,and they are trying to hide it by saying that it is not possible to have kids.Others are told they have been bewitched. For husband’s the narrative is get yourself second wife.Instead of waiting on God.In African setting a woman is defined, more or less by the role they play in motherhood.So when she cannot carry pregnancy to term, they gossip she is less of a woman which is wrong. Regardless what society feels,or how many times as a man you’re asked to Marry again and have children who will continue family linage. Childless does not define someone,always walk brave knowing that someday, if its God wills,it will come to happen.Always get encouraged with biblical example of Hannah,Elizabeth & Sarah.A story impossibility, this is God doing,He will provide that child to your marriage. Because He has done to many families and He will do it to your family.Keep trusting God.
