ON that note, I appreciated this post MYSELF, even though I am a birthmom, now that I am pregnant with baby #3 I have to put myself in check not to complain too much about my pregnancies, because although I lost a child (in a sense) to adoption, I still have no real right to complain. <br /><br />This post (along with some life's experiences) has helped me to realize how truly lucky I am, and although I am a birthmom, I am still much more fortunate than a lot of women. <br /><br />If someone asks me how I am doing, my answer usually goes like this, "I am feeling some pain and I have my days, BUT I am so thankful for the opportunity to have a healthy pregnancy, a lot of women can't get pregnant or can carry their babies to full term, so I really have nothing to complain about". No joke, this is usually my reply. I've always appreciated my situation but I now look at it with a much deeper perspective and appreciation.debs lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12652128924655352504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517787157158545798.post-19723352847089502032010-04-10T21:01:26.641-06:002010-04-10T21:01:26.641-06:00Andee you're the best ever!

I just wanted to say that for those of us who have had motherhood denied to us - we know what you were intending to say in that. Thank you for help spreading the word on what not to say/do.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09627373334599420840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517787157158545798.post-88662620333605081532010-04-10T02:01:58.832-06:002010-04-10T02:01:58.832-06:00I was not offended.

I was struggling with feeling so nauseated during my pregnancies, and hadn't thought about people who either can't get pregnant or struggle through pregnancy and then don't get the joy of raising beautiful (sometimes challenging) gifts from God. SO thank you!Hilariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01310489361202600330noreply@blogger.com
