Question from a reader:
I saw a video where Tsuji-chan mentioned, “I wonder why I’m not getting pregnant.” I was curious about how she feels since people around her are getting pregnant one after another. Even though she already has four children, I was surprised to hear her think like that. What do you think?
Complex Emotions Surrounding Pregnancy
Recently, I
watched Tsuji-chan’s video where she talked about wondering why she isn’t getting pregnant. It was unexpected to hear her express such thoughts while her friends are becoming pregnant. However, when I think about it, even families with multiple children might still wish for “just one more.” It makes me realize that human desires truly never seem to fade.
The Reality of Infertility Treatments
Especially since Tsuji-chan has been undergoing infertility treatments for a long time, I can understand her feelings. It’s natural to feel, “Why is it only me?” when the results don’t come despite multiple treatments. As someone studying law, I encounter various issues, and when emotions are involved, it becomes complicated. For instance, when dealing with issues of custody or child support, there are many moments where I must empathize with the feelings of those involved. Thinking of Tsuji-chan’s struggles with unfulfilled wishes tugs at my heart. After watching that video, I recalled a friend’s pregnancy announcement. She is great at baking and always treats me to her homemade sweets when I visit. Hearing that she was pregnant genuinely made me happy, but at the same time, I wondered, “Will I ever have such a day?” People tend to celebrate others’ happiness while reflecting on their own situations.
Yearning for What You Want
The feeling of “wanting what you want” remains unchanged regardless of the circumstances. Tsuji-chan’s desire for “one more child” likely stems from her own struggles and emotions. When I reflect on it, the themes of pregnancy and childbirth are certainly complex. No matter how many people around her are becoming pregnant, she has her own internal conflicts. I believe it’s important to genuinely celebrate others’ happiness, no matter our circumstances. Of course, feelings of envy and jealousy can arise, as is human nature. However, overcoming such emotions to deepen empathy and understanding would be a wonderful achievement.
Your Experiences and Thoughts
What do you think about these complex emotions? I would love to hear your comments about pregnancy, childbirth, and the feelings surrounding them. By sharing our emotions and thoughts, we might lighten each other’s hearts a bit.
