Sliding Doors NZ

Thoughts please - I’m looking at profiling some childless/childfree Women for a blog, not specifically to focus on the fact they don’t have children but just to showcase your “ordinary, everyday women” (who aren’t just gonna talk about their kids), what things would you like to

PSA: The Aus/NZ TV show Under The Vines has a TTC theme, potential to be an infertility them (I’m only a few episodes in)

Please take a couple of seconds to vote for Good Bitches Baking to help them win $5000 thegoodregistry.com/pages/giveaway

CW for the TV show NURSES. #infertility #pregnancy

Feeling for all those kiwis who planned to go overseas for fertility treatment and can’t. #infertility

PSA: please don’t assume that if someone doesn’t have kids it was because they didn’t want them. Also don’t assume someone has chosen to have pets instead of kids - they might have actually wanted both.

Fuck Firefire Lane for perpetuating the social narrative of “you’re not a mother, you wouldn’t understand “

Sending Aroha to all you Southern Hemisphere folks dealing with feeds full of first day of school posts 😘

@StephPenny1 Exactly. Those novels need to coming with a warning in the blurb.

@SlidingDoorsNZ Yes, it’s good to talk about it, but the ambush can be more hurtful than helpful. Especially when so many of our childlessness stories do not end with a ‘happily ever after’.

Bloody typical, novel with a reasonably good infertility theme had to end with a miraculous pregnancy! #fml #infertility #noteveryonegetsahappyending #childlessnotbychoice

@StephPenny1 I guess the fact that more books are including infertility & miscarriage is a start but it is such an ambush every time!

@SlidingDoorsNZ I get bent out of shape about this. I read an article about a doctor’s struggle with childlessness, only to discover, right at the very end, she had a daughter. Rest assured my book, Surviving Childlessness, has no such miracle-baby stories to ambush you! #SurvivingChildlessness

Are people still travelling internationally for fertility treatment or is that just crazy n this COVID world?

Baby Loss Awareness Week culminates tonight with the global ‘Wave Of Light’ at 7pm. You are invited to join in by lighting a candle and leave it burning for 1 hour 🕯 #BLAW2020 @BLA_Campaign #WaveOfLight #waveoflight2020

"After issues with unempathetic friends and family, workplace issues are the next biggest issue that seem to create problems in the life of childless (and childfree) women. Here are some resources to share with your HR department. bit.ly/2O3N0uh #diversity #pronatalism

Fiction writers, it’s great you’re including infertility themes in your stories, but can you please resist the cliched miraculous pregnancy happy ending.

@TheFullStop1 😘

@SlidingDoorsNZ We are so very sorry for your loss (hugs) xx

4 weeks since my father passed away, and I’m learning a whole lot more about grief. One day I’ll find time to write a blog post that’s brewing about it. #childlessnotbychoice #grief #infertility

Dear Christians Infertile childless mid 30’s women KNOW adoption exists. It isn’t the ‘next best option’ & it is not the same as having your own child. So STOP before you speak and THINK ‘is this going to be helpful’ before you express your opinions. Thanks Newly Infertile Woman

Dear infertile internet: do we know any TV shows feat. barren woman protagonists who *arent* criminals (no stealing/killing babies or other nefariousness) and *dont* magically get pregnant at the end? #infertility #barren #silentsorority #ivfmylife

Oof. Such words. Such feels.i wish I knew how to answer these questions myself. I don’t know how I survive really. No other option I guess. griefistheword.wordpress.com/2020/07/08/i-w…
