2)&ldquo;It&rsquo;s probably me. I&rsquo;m not good enough.&rdquo;
Why? Couples tend to feel there is something wrong with them or blame themselves for not being able to have a child. Remember, it is NOT their fault as they can&rsquo;t control it. In the world of social media, people start to compare their lives to others which could lead to this feeling.
3)&ldquo;Everyone is pressurizing me&rdquo;
Why? There tends to be a social pressure around having kids, which becomes hard to ignore. Couples then tend to quickly prepare themselves to have a child, sometimes opting for assisted reproductive technologies like IVF.
Nevertheless, it is important to know that there are ways to understand and manage our negative thoughts.
