Dealing with infertility can be a very painful experience for any couple. But American news personality Spencer Blake and his wife Whitney have used humour to cope. Here’s how.
Spencer Blake and wife Whitney have been dealing with infertility. A problem that plagues many couples today. But this fun-filled couple decided to turn the sad event into a happy one.
During infertility awareness week, this couple got together and clicked pictures of themselves, spoofing popular baby announcement methods. They were very creative and imaginative when it came to shooting these pictures. Some pictures are funny, some are sarcastic and some poignant. They’ve shared it on their blog and the pictures have gone viral since.
You can view all the pictures here.
In the first “Bun in the oven” pic, they’ve stood in front of an oven looking happy in the first shot. In the second shot they are sad and the caption reads ” We’ve spent all the dough…still no bun in the oven”. In another version they’ve used Italian food as a prop.
Amazing creativity, isn’t it ? Totally, they’ve made six such hilarious infertility announcements.
How often do we come across people who address the ‘Infertility’ issue with some sensitivity? Newly married couples are generally bombarded with questions like ” When are you having your first baby?” and if they are finished with the first, then the next question pops up “When are you planning the second one”?
Spencer and Whitney have made light of the situation and they understand what emotional pain a couple goes through because they’ve dealt with it themselves.
The pictures have touched many couples and they’ve received numerous comments from couples who are dealing with or have dealt with this issue.
Spencer and Whitney are now proud parents of two little boys whom they adopted after struggling with ‘Infertility’ for years. They’ve sent out a message to all the childless couples that ‘Adoption’ is a great choice too.
As an ode to to this cool couple I’d like conclude with this quote, “Life isn’t about trying to weather the storm. It’s about learning to dance in the rain”.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
