Can everyone else in the world just stop being pregnant for one hot second?

[Princess Koala Otter @koala_otter]

@HopingHeal I find it helpful to write a to do list the day/night before, and plan the first few hours of the day (usually aiming to get out of the house). Once the first bit of the day is done, the rest usually follows more easily. Good luck x

@NonMaternalMum How does she think merpeople reproduce???

Only just read this. It's great: https://t.co/CCk38fTu5B #miscarriage #babyloss

@Maybe_Mamma I don't think you're awful. You're grieving. It sounds like a tough situation.

@NonMaternalMum @sophiesulehria Here's the link: The Long Road to Baby - Ep3. Donor Conception - @bbcradio4 https://t.co/RlEVhoF2fP x

@NonMaternalMum @sophiesulehria did a great ep on her podcast The Long Road to Baby about egg donors, and there was a great interview with a woman who'd had a baby using a donor egg. She said she saw the egg as the blueprint, and she'd then actually grown the baby herself, he is uniquely hers x

@HopingHeal Reminders like that are so hard. Some days (a lot of days at the beginning) it's a massive win to just put one foot in front of the other xxx

[Princess Koala Otter @koala_otter]

@raindroplet13 I think parenting is hard in the same way that morning sickness is hard. None of the existential angst of fertility; I doubt parenting feels like having your soul crushed, just your sanity. All guesses, by the way.

[Princess Koala Otter @koala_otter]

@HopingHeal Ohhhh, such a challenging moment. Hope you're ok x

[Princess Koala Otter @koala_otter]

@HopingHeal I have this with some family members. It still hurts, but telling myself it's ok to remember my "ghost child", however old their children get, comforts me somehow. It's a rough side-effect of what you've already gone through xxx

[Princess Koala Otter @koala_otter]

@HopingHeal It's all about these small victories right now. Sending love and strength xxx

[Princess Koala Otter @koala_otter]

@HopingHeal Only just seen what's happened the last few days - it has taken my breath away that this has happened to you after everything you've endured already. I'm so so sorry xxx

[Princess Koala Otter @koala_otter]

@Maybe_Mamma Ugh, so hard, everything just makes it hurt a bit more at times like this xx

[Princess Koala Otter @koala_otter]

@faith_fertility So so so sorry to read this. Please take care of yourself and I hope you'll be able to do whatever you need to (in terms of family obligations etc) over Christmas and New year. Sending love and strength at this heartbreaking time xxx

[Princess Koala Otter @koala_otter]

@HopingHeal Totally normal when you've been on a long road to pregnancy. There are so many little things noone really prepares you for your body to do - and everyone's different, so you might get some, all or none of them! So glad your GP made you feel cared for, he sounds fab.

[Princess Koala Otter @koala_otter]

@HopingHeal 100%, get used to that white discharge!

[Princess Koala Otter @koala_otter]

@HopingHeal Can't believe I missed this. HUGE congratulations, I am so pleased for you! Xxx

[Princess Koala Otter @koala_otter]

@ABCSofTTC @mrsjones0204 I love hearing stories like that - I'm sure that they really appreciated your openness, it all helps make us feel less alone x

[Princess Koala Otter @koala_otter]

Still grateful: this morning I was sick and had a nosebleed at the same time! Also, will blithe, over-hashtagged pregnancy announcements ever not sting?
