Fertility symbol

A fertility symbol is something that people think will help them have babies. When a mommy and a daddy want to have a baby, if it takes a long time or if they have trouble, they may try things to help them. Sometimes people think certain things will help them have babies. These things are called fertility symbols. Fertility symbols can be things like a statue of a lady who is big and round, or a special plant. People might also do special dances or sing special songs to help them have babies. But, fertility symbols don't always work. Having a baby takes lots of time and lots of love from mommy and daddy.
