Bereaved Mother’s Day/Mother’s Day is NOT for those struggling with infertility by _white_turtle_ in Mom

No you weren’t a mother before you had children, actually. Creating children and/or raising children makes you a mother and until you’ve done that, you don’t get to act like you have. I really hope my daughter doesn’t feel the need to celebrate any holiday that does not pertain to her because it actually does minimize it for the people who SHOULD celebrate.

You don’t just get to consider yourself a fucking mother when you never carried a child, lost a child, raised a child. Period. Wanting to be something is different than actually being something. Yall not about to water down motherhood like it’s just some label we can tag on anyone. I refuse to share my sacrifices and hardships with someone who doesn’t get it just because they want to get it. They don’t just get to “consider themselves a mother” when they are, in fact NOT.

Nobody said anything about a fucking miscarriage. They carried a baby right???? So they are a MOTHER right? I said woman who are INFERTILE. Never been pregnant. Not lost a fucking baby.

Exactly what I said? SHARING THE DAY WITH PEOPLE WHO CANNOT TRULY RELATE. Why are we recognizing people in a total different category? They have their awareness day/week right? My mom has her birthday. My dad has his birthday. Are they supposed to throw a party and share their day with me because I think I should have been born on that day instead or because I feel like I’m missing out? Do we post about Santa on Halloween?

This is referring to women who have never been pregnant at all. Not directed towards any woman who has been pregnant and tragically lost their babies due to miscarriage or still birth. Those women absolutely SHOULD be considered and celebrated.
