Still waiting for our miracle and I don’t have the patience anymore

With the second anniversary of the loss of our son Theo, who was born at 25 weeks, approaching, so many emotions are coming back up.

We’ve been trying for another baby for about a year and a half now, and it has become incredibly exhausting. We conceived Theo naturally, but for baby number two we’ve already been through five IUIs, all without success. Before moving on to IVF, I’m now having a laparoscopy because of severe endometriosis and adenomyosis.

I see so many women who lost their babies after I lost Theo, and many of them are already holding their rainbow babies in their arms or are pregnant again. And I’m truly happy for them — but at the same time, it makes me feel so painfully alone. As if I’m the only one who went through such a devastating loss and then just can’t get pregnant again. As if I’m somehow not allowed to experience that kind of comfort or hope after everything that happened.

I feel like I have no strength left, and especially no patience anymore. I’m just so tired of waiting, hoping, trying, and being disappointed over and over again.

How to enhance wavy hair

(the wavy hair community banned me because of this post, I hope someone over here can help me!)

I’ve had thick wavy hair with low porosity ever since the birth of my son. My hair has always had some natural movement and texture, but since then it has become noticeably wavier, and I can even see some individual curls forming between the waves. I’d really love to find out what my natural hair texture could look like with the right routine!

This is what my hair looks like when it’s damp after showering, without any styling. At the moment, my routine is very simple: I usually shampoo twice and then use conditioner, both from Function of Beauty. After showering, I dry my hair with a regular towel and brush it once while it’s still wet. I don’t use any styling products, special techniques, or a diffuser yet.

I’m completely new to taking care of wavy or curly hair, so I honestly don’t really know where to start. I’d love to figure out how I could change my current routine to bring out my natural waves and curls a little more and see what my hair is actually capable of. I’m especially curious about which steps in my current routine I should change, what products might help and how I should dry or style my hair to encourage more definition without weighing it down.

I’d be so grateful for any beginner-friendly tips or recommendations. Thanks so much for helping me out!
