But, while the delays may occur (for whichever reason/s), naturally (speaking for Africans), friends, relatives and in-laws want to see the result of midnight sweat.

“It took me 6 years in marriage to conceive,” tweeted Amanya recently, on Mothers’ Day.
“Those were rough years. Abantu nga babuuza omwami buli lunaku…. “omukyaala asesema”? (Is the wife vomiting?”
She wished “all those still waiting to become mothers, for whatever reason, Happy Mother’s Day” and asked them to “Keep mothering other people’s kids.”
“I pray it happens for u too soon. To those with degrees in asking; when are you giving birth? When are u getting married? When are you having another child…. sharrup!”
