Let’s name the elephant in the room: dealing with infertility during the holidays can be challenging.
The “I don’t see color” mindset has a glaring issue: it makes racial disparities in healthcare invisible.
Healthcare providers must acknowledge the presence of unconscious bias to dismantle its grip on maternal healthcare.
One of the most difficult aspects of this experience is encountering pregnancy announcements everywhere you turn.

Mother’s Day is not a welcomed holiday for everyone, especially women struggling with infertility
