Dealing with pregnancy announcements is hard especially if you are struggling with infertility.
Like most IVF warriors, in the beginning of my IVF journey, I got triggered by pregnant women in my condo, hearing pregnancy news, and seeing babies in the prams in the park. That was like 5 years ago. And I found my own way to successfully deal with them.
And so it was surprising when I got triggered by Chrissy Teigen’s 4th baby news. I’m deeply in inquiry because I've not been triggered in a while, not even when an IVF sister had her 3rd child recently through IVF, nor when my sister had my beautiful niece, or when I arrived at my sister's house for my nephew's birthday, and found the house overrun by horde of small kids.
In today’s post, I’ll share a prayer that was helpful in dealing with Chrissy’s baby news. And why forgiveness is the key to releasing judgement and living a peaceful and kinder life.
