THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE OBSESSED WITH BEING PREGNANT AND IT IS NOT HEALTHY TO BE OBSESSED WITH ANYTHING. Agreed.
I have friend’s who lost EVERYTHING because SHE wanted to be pregnant so bad….a homeless shelter is no place to raise a child and that’s almost where they were. I’m sorry to hear about your friend, […]

As you know, I wasn’t planning on watching, “Motherhood at Any Cost,” aka “Infertility According to the Tyra Banks Show,” which aired on Friday. (You might recall my rant about this a few weeks ago.) But I do admit I was curious to hear how it all went down.
Luckily, Calliope from Creating Motherhood was […]

Funny how I have no problem spilling my infertile guts to you, dear reader, yet it has taken me months to get up the nerve to talk to my own parents.
