Pregnancy is a unique journey, filled with joy, anticipation, and a fair share of discomfort. For one expectant mother, who’s just weeks away from welcoming twins, the journey has been exhausting. The last thing she wants is to engage in idle chit-chat about pregnancies and babies in the waiting room of her doctor’s office. Instead, she prefers the solace of her book. But when her silent protest against obligatory pregnancy talk makes other moms-to-be uncomfortable, a conflict arises. Let’s dive into her story.
