This is my 3rd Mother’s Day TTC. The first one was full of hope; the second was pretty neutral. This one falls in a May that is our second anniversary TTC, my husband’s birthday, the due date for my <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> loss, and then I had a possible second biochemical pregnancy this week. This 3rd MD is tougher than I expected or hoped it would be.

I want you all to feel seen and heard. You all are mothers in your hope, in your pain, in your journey, in your losses, and in your successes. You don’t have to have a living baby to be a mother in your heart. It’s okay to feel sad even if you have a living baby or pregnancy now. Take care of yourselves. Stay busy, stay home, stay in bed-whatever you need. Being okay is fine, too, but not being okay is also fine.
