My name is Miriam Nakato, and for years, my husband and I struggled to have a child. Every month brought disappointment and heartbreak. I tried everything doctors suggested—tests, medications, and even lifestyle changes—but nothing seemed to work.
Friends and family would ask, “When are you having a baby?” and I felt ashamed and hopeless. The pain of seeing my friends and sisters with their children while I stayed childless was unbearable. I felt like something unseen was blocking me, and no medical solution could fix it.
We spent thousands of shillings visiting fertility specialists, only to be told that “everything looks normal.” It was confusing and frustrating. I began to lose hope, and the stress started affecting my health. I cried myself to sleep many nights, wondering if I would ever experience the joy of holding my own baby.
I even started to question myself and my worth as a woman. Every failed month left me feeling more empty and helpless. It seemed like no matter what I did, the result was always the same—disappointment. Get full story here.
