Thank God my mum didn’t listen to social media. She had her first daughter at 19, me at 21, lost the next pregnancy, had the next daughter at 25, and the last born at 27. She went on to have a stillbirth at 29. That makes a total of six pregnancies and four children. She intended to have seven children, but as destiny would have it, she couldn’t conceive any longer. She went into menopause at age 39. She now has eight grandchildren. She always told us how lucky she considered herself to have married at that early age.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ My mother was ready.
