“Congratulations o, natural or IVF?”
“Congratulations o, normal or CS?”
“Congratulations o, epidural or Hebrew woman?”
Resist the urge to be nosy and insensitive.
Say your congratulations or skip.
No one owes you their medical history, and if they share it’s a privilege.

Note: I advocate for people to share their health/survivor stories (fertility, cancer, NCDs). This sensitizes & encourages adoption of helpful medical procedures.
However, also remember that everyone has a right to when and whom they decide to share their medical history.

While we hope more people do, we must remember that they don’t OWE us those information. So respect their privacy. Issues like this ain’t always black and white.
Also, people of influence, like religious leaders should desist from demonizing or shading medical interventions.

Might I also add this:
While we advocate for people to share their experiences or “complete testimonies” (as it relates)…
Ask yourself, how am I contributing to the shame culture or stigmatization people face in these situations?
Let the stigma end with you. Be a safe space!♥️
