THREAD: I’m a big fan of Meghan Markle’s honesty and candor.
Losing a child to miscarriage is absolutely heart wrenching. @KathrynNiforos and I went through it in 2019. It was our first pregnancy after a year+ of trying. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/25/opinion/meghan-markle-miscarriage.html?smid=tw-share">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/2...

And Men, when it comes to pregnancy related issues: talk about it. Be honest with your friends. You’ll feel better. I know I did. Please call on me to chat anytime.

And for those struggling with fertility, please know that as I type this, I’m rocking a perfect 10 week old girl. And while a successful pregnancy coming on the heels of an unsuccessful one can feel extra stressful (particularly amid pandemic!), it will work out. Trust me.
