When Are you having another baby?
Just a small post about a question that should never be asked. Whether a woman has no children, or 1, 2 or 3, asking her when she will have another baby is a bit inappropriate.
Unless, of course, you are best friends or super close (like my sister and me)
The question "When will you have another baby?" Is such a punch in the heart for the woman who is struggling with infertility, but watching her friends conceive baby after baby with seemingly little effort. And Yes, secondary infertility is a real thing.
" When Are you having another baby?" After suffering a miscarriage (or miscarriages) and watching the dream of getting to hold your baby become shattered, this question is a painful reminder that your precious baby will never be seen on this earth.
" When will you have a baby again?" The last baby I held was my own precious Eli, and when I held him, he was dead. I may have a baby again some day, but the thought of going through another pregnancy, worrying for nine months if my baby will live or die is frightening. Every time someone asks me this question my mind goes places it should not go.
" When will you have a baby?" It has never been a simple question before, and it never will be again.
