For The Love Of Labor

Elizabeth. She struggled with fertility.

She waited well past the 12 weeks to share her news, until she was obviously showing.

Mary, upon learning that she was pregnant, came running to Elizabeth, the infertile woman, the white-knuckling mother.

And this story of a 3rd trimester mother and a 1st trimester mother sharing their truths and their experiences with each other, makes history.

Your struggle with fertility matters. Your 3rd trimester baby, your 2nd and your 1st trimester baby, matters. We impact one another, our stories, even of tragedy, are life-giving when we share them.

If you are grieving and your child died, if your baby died before birth, if the baby you've yearned for hasn't been conceived, your story matters. ❤️
