I’ve spoken a lot about the many women who experience loss and don’t talk about it. Well, if you have one of those women in your life, remember today what she has been through – and that this might not be the easiest day for her to endure. When you go through the pain of pregnancy loss – you have been a mother. You have lost a child, although most people won’t treat you that way. More
We started to do the math. Literally, we began counting the months. If I didn’t want to be about-to-burst, we’d need to wait until at least the summer to start trying. If I wanted to be pregnant but not too pregnant, we’d probably want to conceive around September. If I wanted that piña colada, pregnancy would have to be postponed until after the wedding. More
Pregnant Kim Kardashian has had, so far, a very stressful pregnancy. So much so that a doctor recently paid the reality starlet a visit and told her to not let her Kris Humphries divorce get to her. There’s even further speculation that the mommy-to-be had a miscarriage scare. So leave it to the Kardashian Empire to parlay all that stress and panic into season eight of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.” More
I think it’s easy – when you’re not famous, rich, gorgeous, or thin – to poke fun at the lives of those who are. I mean, that’s kind of fair, right? You get to have everything – I get to make fun of you for it. I have been doing this to Gwyneth Paltrow for a while. She’s just such an easy target -what with Jay-Z, Mario Batali, and Madonna as BFF’s, a rockstar husband, and a fabulous life. And she got to have sex with Brad Pitt. Who wouldn’t be a little envious of that? More
I’m not embarrassed to tell you that I was (and am) a particularly complicated woman. And much of this complexity stems from my very dysfunctional childhood, growing up in a house with a father who was the definition of a bad parent.
It’s not really even debatable: My dad was an abusive coke addict for the entirety of the time he was in my life that I can recall. More
Call me crazy, but I feel like miscarriages aren’t exactly the time for jokes. And while Kim Kardashian‘s pregnancy has garnered plenty of snark and sarcasm from every corner of the internet, including our’s, I don’t think a miscarriage scare is the right time for any of that. And according to one media outlet, Kim K and Kanye just had a hell of a scare. More
In early July 2012, my husband and I decided to stop trying not to have a baby. At the end of July, right after my 29th birthday, I found out I was pregnant. I was not expecting a pregnancy to happen so quickly, although of course I knew it was possible. Then, just as quickly as it happened, it un-happened. I had a miscarriage a week before my eight-week ultrasound was scheduled. The appointment where I would have heard the baby’s heartbeat. Instead, I spent that eighth week in a hellish amount of pain; my miscarriage seemed to go on forever. More
We all remember the tragic death of Savita Halappanavar in Ireland and the national outcry it inspired, with Irish citizens demanding that the country address it’s dangerous abortion laws and the ways that hospital “ethics codes” can end up hurting women. It looks like issue isn’t confined to countries oceans away from the United States. Even here in America, where access to safe abortions is supposed to be a protected right, hospitals are allowed to value the possible life of a fetus over the life of a mother. More
Every time I load up my HBO Go to tuck into a “Girls” episode, I, like many others, am treated to Beyonce‘s “Life Is But a Dream” trailer. And while Beyonce’s pregnant tummy and sonogram are pretty prominent details in the clip, now it’s been reported that the Grammy winner also shares details surrounding her first pregnancy — and miscarriage. Maria Guido‘s insistence that ladies need to “speak the eff up” about their miscarriages is catching on! One high profile diva at a time. More

Jessica Simpson Suffers Terrifying Miscarriage Scare! claims the trashiest of all trashy tabloids, the National Enquirer. This horrifying-if-true and despicable-if-false headline represents a new low in the already mystifying depths of celebrity pregnancy coverage for America’s tabloids. More
For me, dealing with infertility put me in a state of constant jealously. I was jealous of the pregnant woman walking down the street. I envied the woman with a gaggle of kids, thinking, Shit - she gets four? Four? And I can’t even have ONE? More
Today, millions of people will head to bars or parties to celebrate with friends and ring in the new year. They’ll drink champagne and make lots of toasts and completely forget the words to Auld Lang Syne. For years, I was one of those people, bickering with my husband over who would be the designated driver and attending my sister-in-law’s annual party. Now, I’m the lady sitting at home alone, mourning, on the anniversary of my miscarriage. More
I don’t even know how to define it. Was it a miscarriage? Or was it a neonatal death? Perhaps a stillbirth. Who the hell knows. All I know is it wasn’t just a miscarriage. I tend to use “miscarriage” because it fits much more neatly in this little box in my head, my heart and my soul that I have created just for it. Maybe miscarriage just sounds a little better. More
