Gynecology/In-fertility
The human body is wise; it understands that if the mother is not ready it shouldn't allow a pregnancy and/or birth. Forcing the body into pregnancy can lead to future complications. If the mother is too stressed out to raise a child, the body is too weak to nurture the embryo, or the hormonal system is not within normal limits to carry a healthy pregnancy are just a few conditions that need to be corrected for pregnancy to occur naturally.
