How do you process other people’s reactions to your fertility/TTC journey?
Any Questions? A Podcast About Conception, Pregnancy and Realistic MotherhoodShow Notes
It's one thing to process your own reactions to TTC. But how do you handle it when the people in your life don't react the way you want them to or thought they would?
While many individuals and couples decide to keep their TTC journey and fertility struggles to themselves, many more decide to share the news with some close loved ones (or even share their journey publicly). But that opens you up to reactions, opinions and the constant pressure to provide updates.
In today's episode, I'm going over the three options for sharing your fertility journey and my advice for how to deal with other people's reactions.
