Pregnancy announcement
Back to Basics: How am I supposed to share the news of my own pregnancy when I know my sister/friend/cousin, is experiencing infertility? I don’t want to hurt them!
We’ve complied a carousel of suggestions on how and when you should tell your person that you are pregnant.
And the last part of this is…
⭐️Don’t get upset when your person doesn’t get back to you immediately.
⭐️Please don’t be mad when she doesn’t acknowledge your pregnancy.
⭐️Don’t hold a grudge if she doesn’t come to a baby shower or bris; Your pregnancy/baby is triggering her. She’s doing what she can to survive and your job is to be her friend no matter what.

Questions to ask on Thankgiving
Okay, you agreed to go. But you’re worried that people are going to be up inappropriate topics.
Or you agreed to host, and you need to make sure that your childless sister feels comfortable.
This is one of our most popular pieces of content for good reason- because people get into a rut with conversations, and forget that there are so many other things to talk about that have nothing to do with babies, pregnancy or children.
So here’s your cheat sheet, again. ❤️

Remember, those struggling with grief after pregnancy loss are not looking for silver linings after loss, they just want to feel validated & supported. No matter how far along, how young they may be, how long they’ve been trying, how many losses they’ve had, how many children they have, or how easily pregnancy came to them, their loss matters and their grief is valid ❤️
