A part of your sacrifice is to forget the life at Ayodhya and to make your husband happy for the decision he was forced to take. Why did you leave Ayodhya if you cannot drive it out of your mind. So if you r still thinking of Ayodhya, he will also miss you and will be miserable.
If you are so sad and miserable all the time, it will affect your unborn children too. For the sake of your children, you should be happy and be at peace. If you are always hopeless and sad, your children will always be sad and dispirited
Sita resolves to bring her strength back and asks him to give her strength to remain strong as she was when she took he decision.
