that article is interesting. As many people will know, my daughter was stillborn in 2010. I am trying to find the words to express wht i mean, forgive me if my words are clumsy or upsetting.
I think it is not "taboo" as such, but why would affected parents, or people who hve not been affected want to talk about it a lot? I certainly spend some of my time struggling like the woman in the article with the "how many children do you have" question, and most of the time don't want to get into upsetting convos about it. There re times when i want to remind the world i have 3 children, they were all biorn, all people and i love them all. I find tlking with people who have experienced the same very comforting, but do encounter a lot of traps and pitfalls if i talk bout it with people who just have no idea how it feels. Having said all that, what does annoy me is that it is so common, but with the exceton of the recent EE storyline, it's not really in the public awareness that things can and do go wrong in pregnancy other than miscarriage. 9 children a day in this country are stillborn or die shortly after birth
