2"Taking Control" aims to provide a guidance for Muslim women who are trying to conceive. Author Farah Dualeh, who herself has tried to conceive for many years, shares her personal experience along with psychological tools to cope with this traumatic ordeal for women who struggle to become mothers. Dualeh also gives extensive content from Islamic perspective, including rulings on certain issues, as well as prayers. In this book, women who are trying to conceive will be encouraged to take control of their infertility experience at different levels: * within themselves * within their marriage * in relation to social pressures * on treatment options * and on what their family can look like (even when different from the 'norm')
