My due date was May of this year. If he had made it, he would be 2 months old now. My gut said it was a boy and his name was going to be Milan. So while some of you out there want to tell me how I’m a “baby killer” because I want women to have a choice in their OWN maternal care Realize that women automatically put their lives at risk by just being pregnant. Their decisions are never made lightly. While I was in the abortion clinic to get the D&C I needed after my miscarriage, I saw pain and hurt. These women weren’t getting procedures on their way to

I'm sorry if this is offensive or hurts people's feelings, but the hardest conversations are the ones most important to have. My husband and I decided to not try for more children while in the state of Texas because of the care I received here. Texas is a beautiful state with so many amazing people, however the heartbeat bill puts doctors and pregnant women at risk for getting medical care they need in a TIMELY manner. If a woman miscarries and cannot pass the fetus naturally, she needs to expel it medically. A D&C has for me in previous miscarriage

I wanted my baby. My husband and I have tried for years. I got pregnant in august 2021 and then miscarried. My body doesn’t naturally expel so I needed a D&C. I was denied one because my doctor was worried about the laws here in Texas. I waited for 2 WEEKS carrying my loss while Hoping I didn’t go septic. My pain got worse and I was scared. I begged to get a D&C and was still told no. Because politicians who have no right to butt into my healthcare needs decided their say so was more important than MINE.

My last post on this topic: My experience with pregnancy loss in Washington State vs Texas: My 1st pregnancy loss was in 2018 in WA and I was 12 weeks. Everything seemed normal until my ultrasound at 10 weeks when the baby stopped growing. I went back at 12 weeks to find out the baby's heart stopped and there still was no growth. It was an unviable pregnancy. My OB said it was my decision to wait and miscarry naturally or medically intervene. I chose to wait. 3 days later I got SEVERE cramping and pain but no other signs of miscarrying. Because the pain

In the waiting room in Texas to get another ultrasound to confirm my unviable pregnancy. I’m disgusted that old out of touch men make these laws that they themselves will never be affected by. So now I have to sit through another painful reminder that the baby I wanted is no more I sit through awkward silence as the technician shows me the same screen and tells me the same news “I’m sorry…” I shouldn’t have to go through this twice because politicians need their verification on what MY body is going through.

So I’ll state this even though I’ll be called a hater or trying to stay relevant or whatever else I’ve been accused of this last year since being truly honest about what goes on in the beauty industry. What I have said and continue to say never comes from a malicious place, And I never wish anyone anything but success for their careers. But at the end of the day, honesty and integrity are king and will make your career/company last longer.
