"The number of people struggling with pregnancy-related stress, pain, and anger at a time that we collectively pretend is the happiest of their lives is staggering."
--Soraya Chemaly
Full disclosure: my two pregnancies were NOT the happiest times of my life. They were two of the most miserable.
The first, because it ended in miscarriage.
The second, because I was nauseated nonstop for 7 months (lost 10lbs during 1st trimester) & spent the entire pregnancy terrified I'd lose this one too.
