One of the things I find difficult in my grief about my childlessness (as an individual and a manager) is being around “precious pregnant women”. You know the type, the ones who think that they shouldn’t have to do anything because they are pregnant… but pregnancy is not a disease, it’s normal.

It’s almost feels like they are using there pregnancy to get out of doing what they do not want to do and I am struggling to keep my emotions in check. I just want to say: ‘for goodness sake you’re just pregnant not sick’! Ahhhhhhhhh!

Then, on the other hand, what do I know, I’ve not been standing in their shoes – with pregnancy tiredness and back pain, so what can I really say??? Difficult times!!!
