Géraldine has no fertility problems, but she unfortunately has to come to terms with it: she will not become a mother, for a reason common to many women. She testifies to the Journal des Femmes.
Becoming a mother was her dearest wish. Since she was young, Géraldine has been particularly touched by the children she meets and has taken care of her three nephews like an exemplary aunt. So much so that everyone assured her that she would be a wonderful mother. Having the maternal instinct, the desire to conceive in turn by seeing her friends give birth, seeing them grow and evolve by offering them a serene living environment… The young woman ticked all the boxes. But like many women, she recently made a difficult decision: to mourn her desire to become a mother.
However, it was not infertility that was the problem. Geraldine could have gotten pregnant, but the opportunity simply did not present itself.After several long relationships, I did not find the person who wanted to build with me in the long term and even less conceive a child.“, she confides to us. She then had a series of relationships and dates, without much success.”The years passed quickly and after almost 10 years of trying to find the rare pearl, the one who could become the father of my children, I began to come to terms with it.” she adds.
At 42, Géraldine now has little hope of projecting herself as a mother. If there is no age to find your soul mate, she is gradually beginning to mourn the loss of motherhood, in spite of herself.Conceiving a baby “all by myself” is something I have thought about for a long time, but I can’t bring myself to take the plunge. I can’t imagine my life as a single mother, although I admire mothers who raise their children alone.“As for adoption, she does not wish to resort to it.”I just wish I had children of my own, and it makes me feel guilty sometimes, when I think of all the women who can’t have children because of infertility problems.”.
Despite everything, Géraldine enjoys life to the fullest: she enjoys a life filled with travel, encounters and flourishes in her work as a customer service manager.My future may not be what I imagined, with a family and children, but I will know how to make it beautiful and fulfilling.” she concludes.
