    @whatsbumpinpumpkin oh no! I'm newer so I wasn't here when you were here before but still I'm so sorry. I have had losses myself and I know how bad it hurts. It is so horribly unfair. I hope you get your take home baby soon.

  • @NamelessAria you’re super familiar, too! I was very active in TTGP prior to my last pregnancy. My BMB was April ‘18, so I was on TTGP, like...way before that. I can’t even do the math  :D
