Lady Saw’s “No Less Than a Woman” – Song on the Shame of Infertility

Everyone copes with the stress of infertility in different ways, and one of my main ways of coping is through music. I’m always looking for songs that express my feelings. Some think listening to music on a topic that’s painful is self-defeating, but I disagree. I find it cathartic.

A few weeks ago, I posted in the blog about a song I find inspirational, Kelly Coffie’s “I Would Die for That”. In the comments, reader MadCityKaren shared a song that she finds inspirational, "No Less Than a Woman”, by Jamaican reggae singer Lady Saw.

This is a great song. I love that she sings about the shame of infertility, an emotion that is often misunderstood by those not personally affected by infertility. Feeling “less than a woman”, or less manly, when struck by infertility is a feeling many coping with infertility experience.

A big thank you to MadCityKaren for sharing this song with us.

What do you think about the song? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Please share with us either here in the comments, or in our infertility support forums.
