Thank you for sharing this, Miriam. The bittersweet beauty of motherhood for me was an excruciatingly heightened awareness of my mortality. I wrote a little about it here: https://perfectlygoodwords.substack.com/p/my-chaotic-heart. It sounds like you've had a really tough few weeks and I'm glad to read you're on the mend. I think so many women can relate too to the urgency we can feel when it comes to babies. I don't think we can rationalise ourselves out of it!
I just adore your honesty, Miriam. So glad you're healing well, and thank goodness for modern medicine. Maternal yearning is such a driving force; it's impossible to think of anything else when you wish to conceive. Embracing the unknown is never easy, I don't think, in matters of the heart.
