I had a long conversation with my ex-classmate from secondary school 2 days ago. She's a teacher too and has been in the working force for about 2 years now. Been married less than a year and now she's four months pregnant...SO HAPPY FOR her! Its like she has been trying to conceive ever since she became a wife and so I come to the more important issue.

She highlighted to me the fact that she was only able to conceive during the June holiday. Apparently she was so stressed up in school that her body just cannot conceive. And I was brought upon a rather disturbing fact. Teachers find it hard to conceive during term time and if they do conceive, there's a high chance of abortion. This fact IS stressing me. I do realize that being able to conceive is rezeki from Allah but we have to usaha no matter what. And if work is so stressful, i wonder how one is to usaha. Maybe we can go for a a short holiday sumwhere and just leave all the work related issues.

On a brigher note...stress happens in wateva industry you are working in. So we just have to find out a way to manage our stress in order for it not to affect our fertility rate, hopefully.
