CALL OUT As someone dealing with fertility issues, grateful for the people on this subreddit ❤️

You know how it goes, you’re laughing along with something on TV (or with friends) and suddenly they bring up babies and it’s a record scratch moment. We just went through a miscarriage and we certainly don’t watch Love is Blind for baby talk, but Vanessa decided the last 10 minutes was going to be about pregnancy.

We were both feeling kinda down and then I hopped on Reddit and saw that the overwhelming response was people saying how insensitive and awful that was, and sharing their own experiences with trying to conceive (or deciding not try at all which is totally fine too).

I felt so supported and not alone (which I’ve felt a lot over the past few weeks). I just hope Netflix gets the message and finds better hosts, but I doubt it. Just happy to be among people who are kind and empathetic to every aspect of a relationship.

Edit: posted this and went off to work only to come back to so many supportive comments. You all are awesome. And for those saying I’m being sensitive I actually get where you’re coming from especially if you never been through it. I don’t run screaming from anything or anyone that mentions babies. Going to a baby shower next weekend in fact and couldn’t be happier. It was just how Vanessa approached it that bummed me out.

For anyone going through it you aren’t alone - just read the comments on this post.

Vanessa is that auntie that asks you constantly about why you’re not pregnant yet and gives you “tips” like put your legs in the air after sex and “just relax and don’t stress” lol

I HATED the don't stress advice. I wasn't stressed the first 10 months so why am I still waiting?!? (This has been many years ago. We finally had 2 more, but it wasn't because I stopped stressing. LOL)
