My husband and I had a hard time conceivingIn 2020, my husband and I decided to try for a baby. I had always assumed that I would get pregnant quickly because that's what society had conditioned me to believe. AdvertisementIt took some time to adjustEventually, I adjusted, but it took a lot for me to overcome the guilt. Yes, I still miss my old life, but I am less resentful and more contemplative as I think back on my life before my daughter. She is a gift, I am still me, and this is still my life — just a different version.
