~Gentle Reminder for April Fool's Day~

As someone who struggles with their own fertility, it was a shock to my system last year when on April Fool's Day, there was several posts that came across my Facebook with "I'm Pregnant".

Being older, wiser and now in the situation myself, I know how hurtful it can be.  

The best thing we can do is to educate others to not make the claim that they are pregnant on April 1, to make them realize that not everyone is lucky enough to be able to have their own children or carry a child in their body.  

So, if you or anyone that you know thinks it is a funny joke to play, just consider this:
