I have never had a miscarriage. But I will say this as a women who has carried and breastfed a child. Society puts massive amounts of expectations on a woman’s body. We are expected to keep mankind going and growing
It’s something all little girls come to understand even as children. It is out scientific, biblical, and worldly duty to bare a child. So believe me when I say that the mental impact of not being able to do so is UNMATCHED
I had complications during my pregnancy and I was crushed and hurt because I felt like my body was failing. I had one job and my body was FAILING. You couldn’t possibly understand if you’ve never gone through it.
I remember breastfeeding and my daughter crying and me feeling like my body wasn’t producing enough mil to keep her full and sustained. My daughter was a small baby and every single comment about how tiny she was and how small and skinny she was
Made me resent my body even more for failing yet again. It put my in Postpartum depression. So i urge you to be mindful of what a women and goes through with her reproductive process. Because just saying shit out of your ass can crush someone
Again I have not had a miscarriage, but I share in the pain and impact of my body not doing what the world feels like it should. My heart goes out to everyone. I know that some aren’t comfortable enough speaking out. I WILL SPEAK KN YOUR BEHALF 💜
