All the tests that I have done indicate that I can have children because I have a daughter.<\/p>\n<p>However, I had her when I was pretty young. She is now 10 and I recently got married to the man of my dreams however the baby won\u2019t come.<\/p>\n<p>My husband did a test and he\u2019s fine. I did one and I am fine. All reproductive organs are fine.<\/p>\n<p>But Bella I believe my womb is cursed because I had three abortions when I was younger.<\/p>\n<p>So now I get this feeling that it\u2019s because I killed these babies in the past that I can\u2019t get pregnant now.<\/p>\n<p>What are your thoughts? Do you think my womb is cursed?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I should go for prayers?

That baby will come.<\/p>\n<p>And if it doesn\u2019t\u2026then the hard truth is that perhaps it wasn\u2019t meant to happen.<\/p>\n<p>Best<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bella<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Have a problem?
