How insensitive! To the mums and dad’s who have lost babies, struggle to have babies or have had to bury their babies I’m so sorry if you see this disrespectful, not thought about AT ALL post 🙏😭
I’ve had 4 miscarriages….not one living child. I’m a mother of 5 angels. This is very hurtful to all the women, including myself, that struggle to get pregnant. Real classy James. 😒

y’all are so sensitive. james isn’t the first person to do this challenge. i think it’s great that men do this to understand what women go through and appreciate it more.
