The period a woman is trying to conceive is a physically and emotionally challenging one, but it’s advisable to stay strong through these trying times, and also avoid the common mistakes made during this time.

How exactly can one cope? Lifestyle vlogger Berry Dakara shared useful tips about ways to to make the wait easier and more bearable. We’ve also heard about a couple that uses laughter as their coping mechanism.

In all, prayer is the key, and more prayers for conception will definitely be answered.

Congratulations to ‘Mum Precious’!
