I go to a Starbucks near my house somewhat regularly. I went there a lot while I was pregnant with Jack. I didn't talk much to the people that work there but I assume they noticed my pregnancy etc. A couple of weeks ago I went there and one girl noticed how I "had my baby". I just smiled and kind of blew her off. Then I went there the other day and one of the other women said to me "oh you had your baby!" I couldn't really avoid her because she was standing right next to me. So I said "no I lost my baby". She was confused so I had to say the dreaded words: "he was stillborn". Tears welled up in my eyes. She gave me the uncomfortable "I'm so sorry" and walked away.
I hate that this has become my life.
