How long can I get away with calling it “baby weight” until it’s just weight? Not that I have to “get away” with anything. I don’t owe anyone but myself an explanations about anything pertaining to my body.
Long story short, my husband Fab and I had zero trouble conceiving our son, Sweetie Bird. Then we tried for our second child for almost three years. I had a devastating miscarriage in the middle of that period, but after lots and lots of expensive interventions, we got lucky. Our daughter, Baby Bird, is now four months old and we are thrilled beyond words to have her in our family.
I wish I had known more about infertility and loss before I was neck-deep in it. I hope that the following non-exhaustive list of infertility dos and don’ts will bring you some comfort in a trying time.
