Happy For You, Sad For Me (On Pregnancy Announcements)
Manage episode 362723177 series 3294145
No matter how you felt about pregnancy announcements before, we're guessing your feelings have changed since your baby died. Ours certainly have.
It is not fair -- at all -- that our babies are dead and other people's babies are alive and kicking. It is a completely insane thing that our babies died, so of course we have thoughts and feelings that are absolutely insane. We need to forgive ourselves for having normal human emotions in response to a tragic situation.
Pregnant friends, we love you, but please don't listen to this episode. And yes, we do kind of hope you get stretch marks. Sue us!

We're wishing our followers a gentle Mother's Day this weekend. We didn't touch it in the episode, but we know you're all feeling it. Sending lots and lots of love.
