Here’s the thing people have to understand about childbirth. It’s very messy, it rarely goes smoothly and the mortality rate is a lot higher than you’d think.
If you’ve ever had a miscarriage or stillbirth, just know it was not your fault. Your body can reject a pregnancy for a TON of reasons.
Take care of yourself and don’t play the blame game.
