What they don’t teach you growing up
is that not everyone can conceive easily.

They teach you how to prevent pregnancy.
How fast it can happen.
How careful you need to be.

But no one talks about the women
who spend months… even years…
praying for two lines that never come.

No one prepares you
for the negative tests,
the appointments,
the medications,
or the heartbreak of watching everyone else move forward
while your life feels stuck in waiting.

I truly thought becoming a mother
would just happen one day.

I never imagined
I’d have to grieve someone
I hadn’t even gotten the chance to meet yet.

Infertility changes you.

It changes the way you see your body,
your future,
your faith,
and even yourself.

And I wish more people understood
how painful it is
to want something so deeply
that feels completely out of your control.

“Domestic abuse does not always look like bruises. Sometimes it looks like walking on eggshells, doubting your reality, and losing yourself piece by piece. And sometimes the bravest love story is the one where you choose yourself and walk away." These are the words of a survivor of domestic abuse. She has agreed for us to share this post in the hope it might help others.

This is her message:

“I thought love meant shrinking myself to keep someone else calm and keeping the peace at any cost.
“For a long time, I thought love meant tolerating shouting, name calling, control, and fear.
“This year, I am choosing something different. I am choosing to love myself more.
“Loving myself looks like boundaries.
“It looks like blocking numbers that hurt me.
“It looks like therapy, medication, rest, and saying no without guilt.
“It looks like teaching my children that love should feel safe, kind, and respectful.
“If you are reading this and you are in that place, you are not weak, you are not stupid, and you are not alone. You deserve real love, including from yourself.
“Here is to self-respect, healing, and starting again.”

Thank you to this survivor for her determination to help others back from where she has sadly been.

If you need help, please call us. If you are not ready to call us, there is help and support regardless of if you want to report to police. You can contact the Lincolnshire Domestic Abuse Specialist Service (link in comments) or call the freephone 24-hour National Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0808 2000 247.

A baby has been born in the United Kingdom to a woman who was born without a womb.

For Ms Bell, pregnancy was never supposed to be possible.
She received a womb transplant from a deceased donor in a complex, carefully planned surgery. After recovery and fertility treatment, she became pregnant. Now, she’s given birth to a healthy baby.

This marks a major milestone for the UK and for women born without a uterus. Until recently, the only options were surrogacy or adoption. Now, carrying their own pregnancy is becoming possible.
The surgery is rare and still highly specialised. It requires anti-rejection medication and close medical monitoring. This birth shows what modern medicine can achieve.

Ms Bell, said she thinks of her womb donor every day and hopes her family "find some peace in knowing their daughter gave me the biggest gift, the gift of life".

"There are no words to say thank you enough to my donor and her family"

There’s a particular kind of grief that often goes unnamed. It’s not the grief of losing someone we love or even the grief that accompanies a devastating diagnosis.
