“If you want to have a baby, you need to think about getting pregnant now!” These words from my general doctor were unremarkable and matter of fact. With no context or consideration of my readiness, preparedness or desire for parenthood, let alone my relationship status, he was simply telling me a medical truth, a scientific fact that my “safest” childbearing years and optimal egg quality were both quickly diminishing, and I did not have time to wait or waste.
I am re-reading this even years later! Thank you, Dr. B!
This was beautiful and vulnerable and authentic and affirming. We are more than our bodies. ♥️
Thank you!! Beautifully written and affirming!
