I was sifting through a heap of old Polaroids and came across this beauty! A snap by my husband of me and our first born Vali circa 2008. It got my thinking of the how fertility and women’s health can feel a lot like a Polaroid…you see I had to wait along time and go through a hard time waiting for this Polaroid to develop!
You follow all the steps, you do everything you can, and then there’s a quiet moment where the rest is out of your hands. It’s a quiet stretch of time where you’re hopeful but unsure, where patience becomes its own kind of strength.
The picture forms slowly, in its own time. You can’t rush it or force it — you just hold it gently and trust.
So just a little care message to some of my mamas to be, while you’re waiting for your Polaroids to develop, it’s not wasted time…. you’re actually building resilience, compassion and love.
Some of my favourite qualities in a person. 🥰
