Fertility problems are hard to talk about. There is still an enormous amount of societal stigma and taboo when it comes to struggling to conceive.
This is even more true in certain black communities, particularly some Christian and traditional African families.
It just isn’t spoken about. And if it is, there is often the assumption that the problem is the fault of the woman.
Outdated and accusatory comments can lead to serious feelings of shame. Entreprenuer and infertility blogger Vanessa Haye, felt this keenly when she struggled to conceive. The lack of support and understanding was a struggle – and now she wants to normalise conversations around fertility and reproductive health in her own communities.
