“I don’t think a post on Instagram is going to make me lose my baby. It’s that trusting my own happiness is a whole mess of memories and emotions.”
“I’m sorry I tuck you into high-waisted leggings so no one sees the excess skin that held my beautiful babies. I’m sorry for hating the way my hips grew in order to bring two children into this world.”
“My emotions do not control me or what I choose to do. I can smell roses and see color.”
“I was never the woman who saw her baby on the screen and fell rapturously in love. I figured it would come once we met in person. It didn’t. And I felt terrified and ashamed. What mother doesn’t love their child at first sight?!”
“Let’s knock it off. Life’s hard enough without us being hard on ourselves.”
“The landscape you knew may never quite look the same. You might find the storm has blown you into a new location, one where storms are chronic, where the clouds roll in and back out over and over again. But wherever you are, the bright rays you crave will come.”
“Our bodies are amazing. They are full of life and love and laughter, and it’s time we start looking at ourselves as a vessel of incredible emotions, ideas, and thoughts rather than just a pretty or not-pretty face.”
“I think the most beautiful thing about pregnancy and miscarriage is that each experience is unique. Whatever you’re feeling and experiencing, it’s okay. Your feelings, thoughts, and emotions are valid.”
“Loneliness hurts – both literally and figuratively. I began losing my hair and was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue. I cried daily. Suicidal ideation creeped in, first shocking, and then regularly.”
“I will never stop talking about it – to challenge the stigma so no one has to feel embarrassment and shame.”
