Totally, I got my PhD, once I got pregnant I stopped working to be a SAHM… I heard SOOO MUCH, that I’m wasting my knowledge 😒 I tell them I’m using my knowledge to raise my kids and this is the best thing I did.

[@christynicole7818]

You’re not crazy. The convincing yourself every month you’re pregnant gosh I can so relate to this right now. Never ending until your period comes full force.

[@Jordè1222]

I always hope that the beginning of my period is just implantation bleeding 😭

[@AbbyMcGuire23]

I completely understand planning future events around the expectation of having a certain sized bump, or being pregnant, or having a newborn, etc. I had several weddings I was a bridesmaid for later into my first pregnancy and I waited to buy my bridesmaids dresses to fit the bump accordingly. I could not imagine reaching one of those events and not having been pregnant anymore like I imagined. That would’ve truly been the worst pain imaginable. 💔 My heart goes out to you mama. 🙏🏻 Cheering you on

[@laneylikewhoa]

YOUR HAIR!!!!! I love this color on you omg!! It’s so incredibly flattering ❤

[@noelcordero2266]

Girl, you are not crazy, and your feelings are validated!!!!!!!!! My twin sister has gone through 15 years of infertility, and she has gone through 3 miscarriages, and she has felt all the things. I have had 1 miscarriage, and felt like i was always pregnant every month tooo. I hope the ultimate best for you, and you are such an angel. Know that at least one person validates you!💕

[@lesiaguinn7358]

Crying… You’ve created an amazing community ❤ Most women cannot do whatever they want, most are bound to the circumstances of their family, their marriage, health, environment, everything. Most are struggling and trying to fit some of their dreams in the hectic life they live. Women should totally celebrate each other’s paths whatever they choose 😌

[@rebeccabamford5505]

Whenever you lose a baby the special dates and holidays will always be a reminder of what should have been. I lost my 9 year old daughter in 1999 in a car crash. And even now, Christmas, her birthday, Mother’s Day. They all trigger something. She would be 34 now and I just can’t imagine who she’d be. I miss the relationship we should have had.

[@andreaward1111]

Oh my goodness this broke my heart for you. I was born in 92, so very close to your daughter’s age and it hurts my soul for you to think of her as my sister, best friend, classmate being lost so young. She would be everything you’ve dreamed of her.

[@sheilasoule2774]

(((( hugs ))))

[@jessicawolf5669]

I‘m so sorry to hear this!!! I‘m sure she is proud of who you are and admires your strength🩷

[@rebeccabamford5505]

@ Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate your sympathy. I hope so too.💕

[@lorrainehincks3191]

I am with you, we all need to stop being so judgemental and lift each other up and cheer each other on. Support whatever each of us want to do. Love you may God answer your prayers. Sending you all the good vibes!

[@caseybitonio8406]

Re: PMS vs pregnancy symptoms Yes, it's normal. It doesn't even have to be for pregnancy loss. It took 3+ YEARS for me to get pregnant. To even ovulate, even though I was bleeding like mad. I got to a point where I knew I *wasn't* pregnant until my dog started acting different around me. Now I have a beautiful baby girl. Your feelings are very valid, and WHEN you get a healthy pregnancy, then have your baby/ies, you will be well prepared to give yourself grace through this motherhood journey. Stay strong, and sending all the love 💕

[@rebeccabamford5505]

You have underlying hope every month. You’re not crazy, just your heart wants what it wants. And your brain try’s to get on board to convince you even if your not.

[@alliejones214]

Indiaaaa!! You are such a breath of fresh air! Love love love seeing your vlogs! 🌈

[@carab1036]

My take - everyone is allowed to make the decisions that make them happy. If she is happy living on a farm and having 8 children and caring for them. You go girl. If a woman wants to put off having a family and become a dancer. You go girl. I am not sure what makes people feel like they have a right to judge others, but if she doesn't feel oppressed, then who are they to tell her that she is. Just because it isn't the choice you would make does not mean you get to belittle it.

[@bayleybradshaw4495]

I just want to throw it out there, that I have seen your videos here and there for the LONGEST time and enjoyed watching you with your hair as I have very curly hair, and when I looked into your channel and saw that you have been struggling TTC…. that literally hit me to my core as I have had two miscarriages myself and we have very similar experiences. It’s crazy how you don’t know what it feels like until you live through it and you never think it’s going to be YOU going through this struggle. So people really don’t get it unless they’ve been through it. So I feel you and I look forward to watching your journey, it’s so bittersweet and it’s okay to admit it sucks most of the time. I was blessed with a rainbow baby naturally after two years of trying so it is possible! We are currently struggling TTC our second but like you say, God’s timing is perfect. Don’t lose hope!

[@missyj5608]

Girl. You could vlog whatever and I'm so here for it 🎉

[@raspberrymelon]

Oh, India! I love this hair color even more! 😍 I’m so happy that you have such an amazing group of friends that understand that you can feel sorrow and joy at the same time, and allow the space and grace to feel your authentic feelings. I think as far as the ballerina farmer, it’s not fair to paint her as oppressed, especially without her personal take on her life. Our passions and interests can change and certain things can become more important s we grow older. We don’t know her story and if she was pushed into ballet because of pressure from her parents. We also don’t know that when she fell in love with her husband, everything changed and she felt that creating a family with him was the thing she wanted the most in life. Sending you love and praying that you and Daniel feel 100% better soon! I’m excited for the vlogs, I miss seeing Mochi and Wednesday! ☺️♥️

[@Melissa..]

Yess vlog your trip!

[@juliemcmahan1207]

Moms could NEVER win! It's always been that way, and it was even worse when I was raising my kids in the 70's and 80's. I have 3 daughters who we raised to believe they could do whatever they wanted. They all 3 believe that way, and they all have kids. One has her own extraordinary and lucrative business, another works in a very fulfilling job for her, and the other is a stay-at-home mom. Our generation has tried to forge the way for future generations, but there is still a lot of work to be done. Especially in the realm of WOMEN not supporting each other in their choices!

[@areejs7307]

India you are not crazy. When shared the story about your bible study friend it made me tear about not for the friend but for what must have been going through your mind when you cried…i know because I have been there and not only did you have to deal with the pain of other people having or easily getting want you want but the guilt of feeling that way. Girl those feelings were valid. I will share how I still cringe wearing a certain underwear in my drawer because it reminds me when I spotted in it and lost a baby. I still choose to not wear it. The triggers I still have are insane. Even after having a rainbow baby it never truly leaves you. Prayers love. ❤

[@sherreesecoleman5241]

I agree we should celebrate and cheer on women for whatever their aspirations are for their lives and their family's. We as women tear each other down too much, and it's sad and heartbreaking

[@bryanacamillebraxton4770]

TBH I’d prefer to see a vlog about your daily life, marriage,etc over a bachelorette trip. Just being honest 😅 Love you India! ❤

[@WannaAhug]

Oh yes, the planning. Especially christmas will hit me so hard. My first due date would've been 16th of October and the second one 1st of December and I had christmas plannend and visualised down to a t.

[@kristinafarnam917]

Honey your feelings are valid, once your pregnant an even when you lose your baby you still think ahead about all the things being a mom it's a natural maternal instinct. It takes time to heal from such a big loss an we always will think about these feelings, I lost my son in 2015 at 12weeks an 2 days an I'm still dealing with hurt an the emotions from it. I thought I would share that bc I didnt wana talk about it for years bc I just couldnt but never feel like your feelings arent valid. Sending prayers an blessings your way for your healing an your fertility journey ❤

[@jrclute4683]

Your hair is hairing!! Heck yeah those goody bags sound awesome. Have a blast sweet girl! Peace and contentment may it come to you ❤❤

[@kristytriggs7271]

Vlogs from you would be so fun!!! I say yes to the bachelorette party and yes to vlogging all together 🤲🏻

[@joyfitz]

My husband and I aren't actively trying to get pregnant but you're absolutely right that PMS symptoms feel like pregnancy symptoms. Plus with an irregular cycle its so easy for your body to trick you into thinking, "what if...."

[@ashloudon]

This hair is so good on you! 😍

[@athinama312]

Ugh it’s all so hard! Going through the same thing the past 1year/8month (2 missed miscarriages at 12 weeks). Everything you said about being happy for others and sad for yourself and the thinking your pregnant every month is like you took the words right out of my head😂 wishing you luck! What I have learned is advocating and learning knowledge for ourselves- at the end of the day we are just another patient to doctors (not saying they don’t care) so get those blood/other tests if you can

[@lydiajohnson2156]

You are definitely not the only one who convinces yourself every month your pregnant 😅 Praying that God would bless you with a baby, and contentment and peace as you wait on His timing ❤

[@undecided3043]

I can only speak for myself. I grew up with my mom being a stay at home parent while my dad was the breadwinner. And my mother was my biggest support in school, in college, and I could not have had a more fulfilling childhood if it weren't for my mom being there for me. I am a first year elementary school teacher and a newlywed (married a month and a half) and I am so exicted to start my career. However, I worry about having kids of my own knowing that I wont be there for them as much as my mom was there for me because of my job and really long schedule. So I value and am so appreciative of stay at home moms who do the best. I respect them from the bottom of my heart ❤️

[@blessedmandy1]

Bachelorette 🎉yes!! I love everything you put out!!

[@carestookachance5915]

I was due with a baby a week apart from my sil. I miscarried, and she had a successful pregnancy. I'm so happy for her and I love my nephew so much but when I look at him. I always think of how he would have a little cousin the same age. I had my rainbow baby a year later, but I will still always yearn for the baby I lost.

[@SuperMeggie11]

YES to blogging the bachelorette in Charleston!!

[@CamrynCarter-wx2es]

you’re amazing, India!!🩷🩷

[@MalloryNicoletti8413]

Girl! Every month! The slightest sign of breast tenderness, and I convince myself that I'm pregnant, even though I get breast tenderness every month with my period.

[@katelynmoore770]

You’re not crazy!! I was like that with my pregnancy loss thinking I was pregnant every month, but the one month I kept saying I wasn’t pregnant… turns out I was! I will pray for you in your journey! You will have a baby one day. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@MB-jn1sx]

let’s support whatever women want to do!

[@robdebl2414]

Praying for you guys!❤

[@konnihall9671]

Hang in there, India. I doubt I'd watch a vlog but it looks like you have plenty of followers who would love it. I agree with you that women should support each others' decisions and understand that not everyone has the privilege of getting to choose whether or not to work outside the home and be a mother. My husband and I were fortunate enough that one of us was able to stay home with our two younger children until they were in middle school. I'd stayed home with my oldest for the first two years of his life, then went back to school. We had so many issues with his childcare that we just didn't want to go through that again, so we sacrificed a lot to make sure one of us was home with the younger two. Now they're all three in college. Those years flew by so quickly, but at times the days were so long.

[@marie2315]

Convincing yourself that you're pregnant every month - yes, here. I do this for the last 5 years every - single - month 😆 By now it is pretty much pointless (I am 37 now), but for some reason, I cannot give up hope. Believe me, I have been in the exact same situation as you, crying when my sister told me that she was expecting (3.5 yrs ago) and feeling bad because that should have been her moment. Hearing about other people's pregnancies now doesn't sting as much anymore and I try to be at peace with what we have. We'll see when I can let go completely. All the best for you! ❤

[@kattwin1]

Lol lol, I loved your little "I'm not sick" argument with your hubby, lol! 😂 Ain't that the way! ...On a more serious note, you talking about your pregnant friend took me back... Shortly after I miscarried, I attended a best friend's baby shower...I was prepared to feel sad and have a really difficult time...but, miraculously, NOTHING there triggered me! Not her belly, not the gifts, not the games, nothing....except an old friend in attendance who had recently lost her cat. This old friend knew nothing about my miscarriage, and she would not stop talking about how sad she was about the loss of her cat. Out of everything at this baby shower, THAT was what triggered me. I felt....angry! Internally I was saying, "Who cares about your stupid cat; I just lost my baby!" But, of course, I comforted her and extended my condolences. I understand the loss of a beloved pet it hard! Grief and trauma are weird. ❤️ And you're so right; grief and healing are not linear at all.

[@sharonsharon5178]

Amen! Keep our nose out of other people lives. Let people be and do what is best for them at the time.

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Happy weekend, India!❤❤

[@mallarieevans5392]

Yes girly! Let’s cheer on each other!

[@Littleflower53]

I miscarried my first pregnancy. My due date for that baby was March 16, 2006. As that date approached, I felt sick. Didn’t want to deal. The day finally arrived….and I found out I was pregnant with my son, who is mere days away from turning 18. Finding out I was pregnant on the due date of the baby I lost was something. God heals, man. He really does. What a gift.

[@mam07025]

I have been trying to have a baby for 2.5 years and have had four miscarriages. I know exactly what you mean when you say you’ve had to plan around a pregnancy or baby that never makes it earth side. Still having to attend those events with a smile on your face is one of the many painful reminders of this difficult experience

[@FaceItGrace]

I'm also a face shaver because 🌟PCOS🌟. Also I LOVE your new hair color! It makes your complexion glow! I hope you and Daniel get better soon. Covid is AWFUL. Congratulations to your friend and hoping for a healthy pregnancy for her!

[@MakeupbyAliciaE]

as a mum that has dipped her foot in both working mum status and stay home mum life status by working part time i think yes everyone has their opinion but you need to do what is right for you. when you are working your not being a mum and when you're at home with the kids you are not focused on your career. Its societal pressures and women movement for equality that has created this side effect to our lives. Some see it as a negative side effect and others it doesn't affect them because they are happy to outsource the care of their child. Its a tough one, i decided to be a jack of all trades master of none so by doing a bit of both and working part time im not 100% in my career but i don't have the guilt that full time working mums have

[@cristinaruedas8343]

Very wise opinion!! We need to celebrate each other, stop wasting precious energy on judging and spend it on our own families.

[@mysonruns]

Definitely vlog the trip! I would love to see that!

[@krystall.perezmartinez9942]

Blush looks good

[@KimberlyClem126]

First of all I ugly cried when you were saying I’m sorry not trying to make this about me. That happens. I’m sorry for everything that you are going through. You are not crazy. If you are trying you will of course expect symptoms. If you want to hear crazy my kids are 16 and 13. I hemorrhaged with my younger and had a hysterectomy. I still have my ovary and hormones. I read an article about people having successful abdominal pregnancies and now every time I have breast tenderness, acne, changes in my discharge (tmi), mood swings, etc. I just feel pregnant. I’ve even taken a test before because I was so sure. So yeah you aren’t crazy. I might actually be.

[@jrclute4683]

The permission of the AND. Sad and happy. Feel all the feels 😢

[@Emily_tharp87]

I love watching these videos of you 💜 just finished getting dinner in the crockpot well listen 🥰

[@SherryBobbins1]

I love Hannah ballerina farms she is amazing!!! She was also Mrs America last year!!

[@sarahs9802]

100% relate to what you said about expecting to be pregnant by certain dates or having a baby by then. It was so hard for me during TTC and now recovering after miscarriage it's even more complicated. It's so extremely difficult to plan for the future and the emotions are SO complex. It's so isolating even though so many of us are in it 💕 right now we're not cleared to try after miscarriage due to many complications but my cycle is pretty irregular and a small part of me thinks I must be pregnant 😂

[@Jordè1222]

I have three children and desire a fourth. I have been trying for 7 months now. A gf of mine just became pregnant with her 5th and I was pretty jealous. Happy for her but wondering what is wrong with me that I can't do it again. I feel embarrassed when the pregnancy test is negative. When its not implantation bleeding and my period gets undeniably heavy, i cry. I have thought i was pregnant every month that i have been trying amd the periods are a crushing blow. Fertility stuff is hard to say the least. I am reading stories of Hannah and Sarah and how God opened their wombs. The stories give me faith that God's will be done in my life. I pray the lord opens and blesses your womb India. Have Faith that there is meaning in your suffering♥

[@unapologeticallyromel7096]

Hey love your channel ❤ yes do vlogs

[@corahonken164]

India, I have actually heard/seen this opinion before; you are not the only one to express it. That being said, I agree that it is DEFINITELY not prevalent. I by far see the two extremes more often as well, which is really sad. I agree that both are right and fine in their own place. Women and families should be allowed to decide to do the working, double income, career thing or the stay at home parent thing, whichever is best for them, and it should be accepted and celebrated either way. As long as no one is being harmed by it, why should the rest of the world care what one mom/family decides to do for themselves? I also want to say how much I respect and appreciate you consistently presenting your viewpoints, beliefs and opinions in a healthy and respectful and honoring way. Great job.

[@CrownedLily]

I should have a 2 month old right now. And I can't even do anything without thinking how different would my life be right now with a newborn? My husband and I's friend announced they where pregnant and my reaction was crying and I hated that I couldn't just show how happy I am for them. They're having a rainbow baby so of course I'm happy for them. But I was so sad for myself and lack of a new pregnancy. Girl!! Every single month I swear I'm pregnant. This month, I was feeling so nauseous, I even throw up. Swore I was pregnant. Took two tests on Saturday. One was straight up negative and the other one had the faintest line. Then my period was 3 days late before finally arriving on Wednesday. 😓

[@Hellotheredelilah]

From someone who went through ttc -you will be pregnant the month you’ll think “there’s no way I could be pregnant now”. The months we were trying to timing we didn’t get pregnant. The month we didn’t test/really try we got pregnant.

[@kl-jm4pn]

My second embryo transfer failed recently so I totally understand the emotions. It sucks so bad.

[@daniellehodgson105]

My opinion on Ballerina Farm is exactly what you said!! I just think as long as shes not being abused and as long as it was her choice then good for her ❤❤ Personally i wouldn't have done what she did but like i said, shes happy so thats enough!!!!!

[@laceyh]

I think the controversy around Ballerina Farm has kind of moved away from the real point into this realm of people reading and reacting to headlines or snippets. I have literally zero problems with whatever her dreams are, however they've changed for whatever reasons they've changed. I don't care what she decided to do with her ballet career, her home and family, her career as a farmer and influencer, whatever. If she's offended by the article and feels mischaracterized by it, that sucks. I don't think the article in its full context was judging stay at home moms. I do think some of the stuff that both members of the couple explicitly stated in that interview was more than a little distressing, and my issue with those things didn't have to do with her decisions or her lifestyle. When she kept the epidural she had a secret from her husband and said it was 'amazing' with the implication being that she couldn't have another one? That really stressed me out. I want her and all women to be free to make whatever choices they want to for themselves, their lives, their careers, and their families. I feel like the legitimate red flags have just become these really charged talking points that have moved away from the actual problems into like, a culture war politicizing women's personal choices.

[@melliecara]

My first thought was that you are divorced. English not my first language. And you don’t have the rings, but then you talk about future family. ❤ Good good ❤️ 🙌good vibes from 🇫🇮🙌

[@eliseraifman4766]

You’re not crazy about convincing yourself that you’re pregnant every month. I was like that when I was going through my infertility journey. Fast forward many, many years and I have a beautiful 38 year old daughter whom we adopted as a new born. Stay strong. Life has many twists and turns and you do have to be grateful for what you do have.

[@kunya16]

People out here celebrating open marriages, poly couples, furries etc because "we can't judge". But Ballerina Farms just is married, has kids, lives traditonal gender roles and they hate them. Hate them. Its insane. There's the infantilizing women by saying she couldn't possibly have chosen this. Obviously she's abused and forced into this. It's so insane. She CAN choose this and she did. She's thriving. We don't have to like it or dislike it. Its their life, let them live it.

[@morgancrim397]

One of my best friends and I had due dates 2 days apart. I had a miscarriage and then was diagnosed with infertility 14 months after ttc. Her baby just turned 3 and I have a hard time celebrating his birthday with them. I luckily was about to conceive my 18mo son with clomid and I love him more than anything. We are now trying to conceive again with clomid and it is so triggering going through this journey again.

[@Krystyna14]

I’ve totally been there having my first twins being heteroectopic ruptured left tube that I lost and miscarriage. 7 non ivf cycles medicated cycles with clomid/letrozole/gonal f timed intercourse, iui. I never got pregnant naturally after losing my tube. I have lupus, adhd, Sjogrens, PCOS. I ended up stopping using my personal instagram and silencing people in the family who got pregnant close to my due date. I didn’t go to universal during my two week wait like what if I was pregnant. A few fertility doctors dismissed me. A lot of people who were dismissive I felt I couldn’t speak to anymore it just felt so weird. It is hard to watch and have people not care. After years and ivf I was pregnant and my sister got pregnant and was due a few weeks behind me and her son was born a couple days before my birthday. She wasn’t even trying and she’s never had a loss and it still stings do this day and my twins are now two.

[@Missgmc14]

I also don’t want to forget the large group of women who do not see themselves as mothers. We’re just as valuable, we love kids too, and not wanting or having kids, for whatever reason, is just as okay as having kids too! I’m 28, married, and have known my entire life that I know I would never plan for children in my life. The comments I get about my life not being hard bc I chose to not have kids, just like women who decided they did want them, or that I don’t truly understand lack of sleep, financial hardships, etc., is so out of pocket. And it’s always women against women, I’ve never had a man in my life (to my face) question me if I say I’m choosing to not have kids. We should be supporting each other no matter what!! Kids or no kids, stay at home mom/wife or not! Let people be happy and don’t judge them if they’re not hurting you!

[@Thesoundmama]

You're not crazy. We're not even trying and cycle track religiously, but still think I'm pregnant monthly and take a pregnancy test like clock work 😅

[@MusicxxRose]

I just got off birth control last month and feel the same way about pregnancy and PMS symptoms being too similar and subjective. I found myself researching implantation bleeding then realized no actually this is my period just a week early. Way too much overthinking.

Im 33 and have been trying 10 years and its so not funny but when u were saying u convince urself every month ur pregnant so did i over and over again. Just about 3 months ago have i finally stop doing this. Ill pray for u! The "if u do this" or "when u do this" or "relax" just remember i did it all tried it all u just stay close to god and ur husband

[@Amanda-A.R]

I said it, and I will say it again: I'm actually WORRIED for her...in the article it says that sometimes she's so exhausted that she can leave her bed for A WEEK! Her husband refuses to hire a nanny to help out... He's the son of the owner of Jet Blue! Don't tell me he can afford it! The only time she gave birth at the hospital was when he was away... she got the epidural and said it was the easiest birth she had... If it is HER choice, I'm behind her 100%, like go off QUEEN! BUT, to ME, PERSONALLY, something doesn't feel right...

[@rnmatsuda]

I would watch a Bachelorette vlog!

[@samcobb1353]

I don't know much about the Ballerina Farm controversy, but I am a pregnant stay at home Mom of 4 and the insane opinions about stay at home Moms versus working moms is just bonkers to me! India, I love your view point on it. We should all be supportive and uplifting of all moms no matter their circumstances. Some women have no choice but to be stay at home moms because of child care costs or any number of other reasons where as some working moms would love nothing more than to be home with their kids, but they have the primary income and need to work in order to make ends meet. Y'all, if you're a mom, I celebrate you. Motherhood is tough, let's make it a little bit better for each other in any way we can. ❤

[@loismoskow1959]

So glad to hear from you. Where did you get the beautiful necklace you are wearing. Thanks

[@carolinelvsewe]

India, I think future you will look back and say of course it will be my turn at some point. And really rest in it. My body did crazy things and I never believed for so long that anything would change, but it did!! It’s a difficult mental space and hard to look ahead to your motherhood. Believe and rest…..live this day to the fullest. 🙏🙏

[@emilielantz826]

Please Vlog! 👏🏼🩷

[@EternallyLoved92]

I don't know why people can't just leave that poor girl alone. She's living her best life, on her farm, doing something she loves. Sure, she might also love pageants and dancing, but that doesn't mean, just because she doesn't do it all, she's deprived or suffering. Also, I think it's totally normal to symptom spot when you're TTC ESPECIALLY after loss or trying for an extended period. I do it every month but then remind myself that the symptoms I'm having are normal for my period too. The other side of the coin, I then convince myself I'm not so I'm not disappointed when I do get my period. It's a very unhealthy cycle I'm trying to curb BUT ITS HARD!

[@Maria-dm6yk]

Oh my goodness. When you started putting the dabs of the blush on I was like, um that may be too much. lol. Yes, vlog the bach party. I'm still praying for your and your peace and that it's God's plan for you to be a Mom.

[@kirsteneve6733]

This happened to me this month! I was like why am I so nauseous and having the same symptoms as my last pregnancy? Surely I am pregnant AF! Then I got my period and remembered I cut my Lexapro dose in half a few weeks ago lol

My dear beautiful lady find your full joy and refuge in Jesus Christ ❤ He loves you, he understands you and He is there for miracles if you believe with all your faith 💗 I have seen them around me and in me, and I pray with all my heart you will carry this miracle in your arm very soon.

I had that same issue two months after I lost my first pregnancy miscarriage

Fertility issues... have you tried red clover? I tried getting pregnant for 7 years, started taking red clover which is supposed to help prepare the uterus and I got pregnant after 2 months and it helped tremendously. My gynecologist said he was the god luck charm but admitted the red clover might have helped.

I started following you for your tips on curly hair, but I just love your personality. I am praying for you that you will get pregnant and have a baby.

[@aracelimuniz9396]

Oh yea I always think im pregnant before my period cause my breasts are sore. I already bave one 5 year old but we are looking for another baby. It hasn’t happened yet but we’re hopeful.

I literally had the exact same experience with a bridesmaid dress after a ruptured ectopic pregnancy

[@lindapaone5650]

And yes I always convince myself I'm pregnant

[@vivi_anexis]

whether experiencing loss or just going through infertility, it is normal to believe every month that you are pregnant. It is frustrating and draining 😢

[@belzeebubbubbachunks]

This baby will happen. It will. And when it happens, you may or may not learn that labor and delivery doesn't always go as planned either 😂. But everything will be alright!

Everything about that article is wrong. She and her husband traveled after marriage and during that travel fell in love with the local raw dairy farms and farms and decided together that that was both of their dreams. And she does have her own career, she’s a beauty pageant winner and loves doing that she also creates beautiful products to sell online and helps run a farm to which they sell the products of. She’s a wonderful woman and her family life is amazing. She is empowering women and her husband totally lifts her up on his own instagram as well. I appreciate your take, I agree, let them be to live their life.

That article was appalling. And all the comments saying she simply can't be happy and he's abusive. Like what? Just because they live vastly different than most? She's a grown woman who chose this life and loves it. We need to stop infantilizing women like this. She can speak for herself. Her husband has nothing but praise for her. Depression hits every walk of life. It's not okay to blame her for it or her husband.

[@thecoolgirl8]

This!!

[@thecoolgirl8]

Also they had to print a retraction! She she skewed the article in such a way as to make it look like he was oppressive to her, and she was unhappy when in reality, none of that was true!

We would all be so much happier if we concentrated on our lives and problems and families, instead of judging others.

[@katemarvin9957]

I feel like the argument of women’s roles and what they choose for their life is ridiculous. The fact that we have the right to decide if we want to work or stay home is something we should not take for granted. It hasn’t always been a choice. On top of that, some women still don’t get to choose because of their financial situation and that is the majority still.
