When I wrote about my miscarriage on Facebook, I was sure some of my friends classed it as oversharing. But it’s not the same as posting snaps of my meals
I’m an avid Facebooker. I usually post happy snaps, political musings, lolcats and gratuitous food porn. So it probably came as a shock to my friends when I used the platform to announce my miscarriage.
I had really clear motivations for the post: I wanted to be honest and open about my experience, so other friends who had been through the trauma of miscarriage could talk to me about it, both for their benefit and my own. And given one in four pregnancies end in miscarriage I wanted my friends to know they’d have someone to talk to if, in future, they had the same experience.
