I wasn't at all thinking about it being too soon to share. I will passionately defend anyone's right to share a pregnancy as early or as late as they wish. Of course something may happen but as someone who has lost a baby at 42 weeks, there is no safe zone and obviously she'd want to be open if something did happen. Baby loss awareness day is a huge international day of recognition for babies who didn't get to stay. At 7pm (very close to when she shared her gender reveal) people all over the world are lighting candles to remember babies lost during and shortly after pregnancy. My feed is full of images of candles and spreading love and awareness. I'm sure like me, many bereaved parents came to follow the little one because of her losses/ the Alex and bobby suits etc. For her to not share anything about baby loss is bad enough but to share something which would be hugely triggering for many people who've lost a baby seems tone deaf. Not everyone who loses a baby needs to be an advocate, but if you do choose to be like she has at times, you have a responsibility.

I was very surprised to see that. I really hope everything goes well but it just seems so soon for a big reveal when she’s just days past the stage of previous losses.
it would have been nice to let the boys have their day today & leave it for another time. Conor’s face, he hadn’t a clue what was happening.
I feel quite nervous for her, it all seems a bit too public considering what she has been through. I guess everyone is different though.
To add based on her last story, I am more understanding on reading that about why she would choose to do the reveal today and I totally get wanting to savour the good moments. I still think it was unessesary and insensitive to share it pretty much during the wave of light.

Totally agree she should have shared it maybe tomorrow
