It's tough for me to tell people we've been trying for 8 months. So I can't imagine if there would have been losses as well. Hopefully soon we'll be able to say we are expecting. :)Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403182520873473331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725435302208406010.post-64278771173209925242009-12-07T10:12:14.813-08:002009-12-07T10:12:14.813-08:00Hi Laura! Ugh I totally understand where you are c...Hi Laura! Ugh I totally understand where you are coming from when asked that question in person, by people that you've just met or just in general. Two approaches for me that work are: if the person asking is a complete 'stranger' (i.e. they don't know when my birthday is) they I will just answer with a simple "hopefully soon" - if the person asking me is a 'friend' but they know nothing of our past, I would tell them that we've miscarried 3 times and are hopeful in the next one. I figure, if they are 'comfortable' enough to ask me that question as a friend, they should also be comfortable with the answer I'm going to give to them. Whether or not they are ready to hear it isn't really my problem. This is exactly why I would NEVER ask anyone that question again - because we have no idea what they've been through to get pregnant and/or keep the pregnancy, right? <br /><br />Whatever feels comfortable with you is how you should answer - if you are not ready to go into detail about your angels, they I would leave it as short and sweet as possible. But if would like to honor their memory, then I would tell their story. ;)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552706129876750051noreply@blogger.com
