Don’t Say This!

Back To Basics Rule #4

Think before you speak.

We could write a book about all the comments people have shared with us in the last week.

And maybe one day, we will.

In the meantime, here is a handy little chart with the most common responses we got.

Bottom line - we know that your comments come from a good place (most of the time). Still, they hit differently when you've just been up at the crack of dawn, for the 10th day this month, to have the pleasure of seeing whether your ovaries have decided to respond to all the meds you're injecting into your body. Or when you finally go grocery shopping weeks after your loss, you run into an old friend who asks how many kids you have and then awkwardly leaves the conversation when you share that you just had a miscarriage.

We can do better. We need to do better.
