I've had tons of IUIs and a couple of full rounds of IVF, 4 pregnancies, 3 1st trimester miscarriages and a son who was stillborn, at 40+ weeks. Fortunately, there is "light at the end of the tunnel" as they say -- my husband & I are close to completing our adoption of a beautiful baby from Vietnam. I'm not as sensitive as I was earlier, when my grief was fresh, but I still HATE the fact that pregnancy, labor, etc. is used as a plot device or for stupid humor in so many movies, ads, TV shows, etc. I also really hate the fact that women who've lost children or who are infertile are so often depicted as warped psychotics who prowl maternity wards looking for babies to kidnap!!!<br /> <br /> Sorry, just needed to vent!

Average non-bp individuals tend not to understand this at all. They think it's all wonderful. There's so much judgment of bps; so many feel we should be grateful for having been rescued by aps, agencies, etc. It's a very twisted, cruel reality.<br /> Yes, let's throw the tv out the window.<br /> These shows and movies are suffocating me.
