Yes, babies are a blessing. They can be tiring too :-) A few of my aunties suffered a bit with childlessness but thankfully, they never gave up hope and finally, the babies came through. this can be such a source of distress, particularly in Nigeria where if you do not have babies fairly quickly in the marriage, people start to think there is something wrong with you. Definitely that culture of finger-pointing when a lady is unable to get pregnant, needs to cease. It is terrible enough to feel as though you cannot have your own child without others accusing you of 'who knows what?'
