Winning over tokophobia #LOH contest 260#

Winning over tokophobia. Greetings, dear friends. Happy new week. Thank you for stopping by my blog. Question of the week says, "Write about a time when you overcame self-doubt." Every human has one or two things in this life that he or she has self-doubt about. No one is perfect so we all have something we are always self doubting about. I couldn't know for others, but for me, it was tokophobia, fear of pregnancy. I have always doubt myself as a lady if I could ever carry a child of my own, I don't know why but this is how I grow up looking at myself.

Since from my childhood or should I say when I was much younger, I didn't like pregnant women. I don't know why, but there was this fear I had of pregnancy, and I used to wonder if I would be able to get pregnant and carry it. It was a serious battle for me then. The selfishness about pregnancy was getting out of hand for me; it got to a point that I had to talk to my pastor and tell him about my tokophobia.

We prayed, and he assured me that all will be well, and I believed him. Today I didn't just overcome my fears and self-doubt about tokophobia; I'm a mother of two amazing angels. And I'm so glad and proud of myself right now for over coming these self doubt that I had then. Thank you for stopping by.
