Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yeah ... I feel this. We told a family member at week 10. I think we wanted to wait longer, but it just sort of came of out. They shared it on Facebook. We didn't say not to. Week 11 or so, I don't fucking remember ... Miscarriage. Probably not viable for a couple of weeks at that point.

Any case, we tried again and this time waited till week 13. We're very explicit that it was only for family until we tell everyone somewhere in couple of months. And now we have a kiddo whose been kicking it strong for quite some time.

Miscarriages hurt and I'm a little surprised I still feel it.

Yeah, I'm so grateful it didn't happen to us, but almost everyone I knew had a miscarriage at some point, apparently. And my parents shared almost immediately despite being told not to, because of course.

It's good to share, even if someone was expecting memes and silliness, since you never know if that piece of advice helps them someday!
