Sitting in this waiting room always brings back painful memories. People aren’t often in doctors’ waiting rooms for happy reasons, but the occasions that seem to stand out in my mind are the times we visited when we couldn’t conceive. Of course, that particular issue seemed to resolve itself, but it’s a time in my life I’d still rather forget.
I wonder how much of it affected me on a psychological level. I’d come to terms with the fact I was never going to have children, and then we miraculously ended up expecting Evie. I was delighted. Of course I was. We both were. But it’s a hell of a lot to come to terms with.
It was all we’d ever wanted, and everyone told us it would be a rough ride. They were right. We believed them, but we massively underestimated how hard it would be.
