The Kardashians are pregnant! All of them. Jessica Alba?s expecting her third. Jaime Pressly just gave birth to twins.
Go to any website and you will be bombarded with celebrity pregnancy news. Even news sites aren?t safe if you?ve just lost a pregnancy like I did.
It?s not that reading about a reality star?s burgeoning baby bump is causing my pain. I hardly need a reminder that my pregnancy ended at almost 24 weeks. But in the age of TMI star-pregnancy reporting, losing a baby is made all the more unbearable.
I wake up in the morning, and the awful trauma I experienced is the first thing that flashes through my mind. Somehow I drag my battered body and mind out of bed, and make it to the bathroom, and then the kitchen for coffee. I force myself to get dressed, and pretend to be a human. Everyone seems to be out to get me, and rub salt in the exposed wound that is my alien-feeling flattened belly. I drop my daughter off at preschool, and see another mom I?d been pregnant with at the same time, now wearing her newborn. A clueless neighbor asks, "Did you have your baby"" I muddle through the day until I can retreat to my couch and tune out by tuning into a mindless entertainment news show or surfing the Internet.

But being bombarded with every aspect of celeb pregnancies has become unavoidable. Kate Middleton?s bump makes its debut! Khloe Kardashian is reportedly having a boy! So-and-so steps out for the first time since...
