I actually totally disagree with it being a faux pas to announce at the end of Baby loss awareness week. I’ve had a miscarriage and now can’t get pregnant again. I think it’s lovely news and a bit selfish to begrudge other people some happiness.

I loathe Baby Loss Awareness Week and have to hide all the wave of light posts on Facebook. Mainly so I’m not constantly in bits. It doesn’t help me but it obviously does help others so I’d never say anything to them. Harry and Meghan can’t please everyone.

Thank you @MissSusanSays for articulating what I think many folk feel and are too timid to say.

I agree with Weightsandmeasures.

It's odd how people on MN of all places start quoting, linking, and even defending the daily fail as if it is the gospel, when they're trying to rip apart Meghan again. Although I think it is more than racism at play, but also classism, and anti-American sentiment shining through.

ziamohd did you mean to post here? I guess not Smile might be worth starting a new thread in children's health. Hope things improve for your DD!

I agree misssusan. I thought it was last week as I also had to hide Facebook posts and didn't want to share or post about it. Flowers to you though. I already had 2 children but I don't want to be reminded that I should have had a 4 year old DD all week. I wish them well. It was lovely news in a sea of gloom.

Do you need a particular day to remember the lost of a child? Do you get offended everytime you see a pregnant woman?

This whole thing is so weird. People feeling offended that people are not observing some made up day. A lost child is always in the hearts and minds of its parents. No one should be held ransomed over some made up day. Moreover no one should dictate when or what date people should remember a lost child.

Are we to assume people do not remember their lost child except for that week?

Kinda cruel to announce it to the public on the finale of baby loss awareness week #waveoflight

Kinda cruel to use baby loss awareness week as yet another excuse to slag off a pregnant woman you don't know.

I know too many women who have had to light candles.

None of them have been offended by this pregnancy announcement. Their grief is something they live with daily, it matters little when a pregnancy (or birth) is announced.

I don't understand the cruel statement. I've seen many posts from women that have lost a baby but have said they are happy for her and their grief is always present so the announcement on that particular day made no difference to how they feel.

I hope MM never pops on MN for a bit of baby advice fgs.
