I remember not too long ago that I thought to myself :
"I don't want to have any kids yet. I'm still young. I want some time before I start a family."
I didn't really want to be one of those couples who had babies popping out 9 months (or sometimes sooner) after the wedding. I thought that when the time comes, then we'll have one... but for now, let us enjoy things for what it is.
Over time, the more I talked to people, the more I realised that there was a second group of people - people who found it very difficult to conceive at all, despite all their efforts. My heart went out to them. How sad it must feel, how hard it must be watching other people with their babies and children, wishing you have that too.
I always knew I didn't want to be the first group of people. But I didn't know I was already part of the second group.
Sigh.
People always say you should be careful in what you wish for. I guess you never quite get it until it happens to you.
