    Wow, you need to learn that extinguishing someone else’s candle will not make yours burn brighter or bigger. Time for an attitude adjustment. Lift others up and the joy will come back to you.

    I can think of a much better word to describe this Karren but I won’t stoop that low. How awful to put another parent down like that. Massive, massive invalidation yo her struggle.

    Wow you are a miserable troll. Is this what you do for fun? Degrade and harass them on the internet? Okay we don’t know anything else about her, her life, her family, her upbringing, her finances, her body image. NOTHING! And this is a pregnancy article. If you don’t want to hear about it – DON’T read it!

    Gee KAREN….after reading your HATEFUL comment, gives one pause to understand perhaps why he walked. Leaving the kids was the real Sin. You? You obviously haven’t followed your own advice.

    I agree🤷🏽‍♀️ Sorry. I was raised by a single mother and preeclampsia is life threatening for all mothers and babies. I had it as well. My baby was in the NICU as well. All is well. Nice story of survival.

    A little jealous? No, not everyone steps up and does right by their kids. If they did CPS wouldn’t exist.

She is an amazing mom! Wow Karren(fancy way to say karen) you’re so low for hating on her. I have twins myself and have a medical condition and a single mom. It’s not easy. Sorry that you’re husband left you( i kinda see why he would after that comment). Your child or children didn’t deserve it but you definitely should deserve to feel pathetic about yourself after that comment. Go Maia!

After ONE negative response, we took the attention off of Maia. I Did it also. As women we should stand together and lift each other up! One person was jealous and ugly, but let’s not let her take anymore attention away from Maia, who is doing a fantastic job and is a real role model!
