Pregnant Women in Public

Everyone loves to talk, touch a pregnant women in public. But maybe it is best not to??

This has been running though my mind since about a week ago when I was holding LM a certain way with a dress not so flattering. A lady asked me how far along I was which still even though I have a baby it is hard to still think of pregnancy because of how many losses I have had. And my desire to have another one that still is filled with a huge fear of many more losses. This along with keeping up with a few blogs about Mom's not ending a pregnancy even though the outcome doesn't look to great, has got me thinking.

What if the person just miscarried, gave birth to a stillborn, baby might not make it???

There are so many what if's??

There are some that their baby is facing challenges ahead that they want to talk about it to raise awareness.

There are those that want you to ask them because they want to still enjoy pregnancy and want to make the most out of their time they have with their baby's.

What about the ones that are on the verge that day of breaking down and don't want to get reminded of their baby's fate.

Of course I'm not saying for these women it should be taboo to talk about. Because it shouldn't be along with miscarriage. Everyone that wants to talk about it should and they shouldn't be looked down upon for doing so.
And every life has a story to tell whether they are here for a short amount of time or a long amount of time.

I don't really know the answer to any of these questions or even if anyone has the real answers to them. I remember being pregnant with LM and being asked and still being asked if she is my first baby. A lot of times I want to say no and most of the time I do say no because she is not my first baby.
