When I went to my last ultrasound appointment for my last pregnancy - the one where they saw that there was no longer a heartbeat - my doctor had began his examine by asking how I was feeling.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I proudly exclaimed that I had no morning sickness and that I was so surprised since I’d been so sick with Graci’s pregnancy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He said maybe that meant I was having a boy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then he did the exam, and once he’d told us that the baby no longer had a heartbeat, he told me that was probably why I wasn’t feeling sick.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, long story short, I am grateful for EVERY wave of nausea I feel right now. Am I enjoying? Of course not. But I’m so grateful, anyway.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Having experienced this 2 times over, it is completely heartbreaking and I pray I never have to go through this again. October is #pregnancylossawareness & #babylossawareness awareness month, but it shouldn't just be one month that brings this community together to talk and share about the babies they hold in their hearts. The taboo on pregnancy and baby loss shouldn't exist.
Skye and River, I miss you dearly and wish with all my heart that you could be here right now. You would have been 2.5 years old Skye and River you would have been 6 months. Keep looking down on us and protecting us with us wings. We love you dearly!! #miscarriageandinfantloss #miscarriageawareness #miscarriages #miscarriage #babyloss #babylosssupport #babylossmamas #angels #angelbabies #angelwings #heaven #untillwemeetagain #missyou #heartache #1in4 #iam1in4 #heartache #heartbroken #babylosscommunity #babylosssupport

I never got to see you, or hear your heartbeat or hold you in my arms. All I have left of you is a inexpensive pregnancy test, with two (now very faded) pink lines and the space you fill in my heart. You were such a pleasant surprise. After 2 long years of infertility before your brother, we never expected to get pregnant so quickly, but there you were. And then, almost as suddenly as you joined us, you were gone. I remember the Saturday night I realized you probably wouldn't be meeting us. I went to bed that night hoping it would be better in the most. But it wasn't, and I miscarried that weekend. For just 7 weeks, I got to carry you, I hope you felt nothing but my love for you. At first, I didn't want to talk about you. It was like, if I didn't talk about it or made an excuse for it, it didn't happen. That didn't work, and when I finally did speak out, the love I felt for you and me, from those around us was overwhelming.
To those of you reading this, who may know this same pain. I'm holding space for you.
You are not alone in this journey and you don't have to ride the waves of grief by yourself. I've been so grateful to meet a community of mother's who are sharing their story, so we don't have to feel alone and we have come together to break the stigma surrounding pregnancy and infant loss. Head to @binkiesandbaubles to hear Chelsea's story and to follow the other mothers who are so bravely sharing their stories. If, and when, you are ready, we invite you to share you story and use #forevercarriedinmyheart so we can find you and help carry the weight of your loss, light a candle for little one tonight and to help end the stigma that surrounds pregnancy loss.
Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss awareness day. Tonight parents all over the world will light a candle to remember our babies who are carried in our hearts instead of our arms, and I invite you to do the same
Let’s talk about miscarriage.
Jordan and I are very excited to have more children. We’ve been trying to conceive since I got my cycle back in September. Last week, we found out we were pregnant. To say we were over the moon is an understatement. We told our families and all our friends. We put Jules in a big sister shirt and showed her off to everyone.
I did it on purpose. I knew it was early. I knew we had a ~70% chance of having a viable pregnancy. But I still wanted to tell the world.
So many women have early miscarriages. Some don’t even know that they were pregnant. I started testing last Sunday, when I saw that first faint positive line on Wednesday, I nearly fainted. I tested every day and watched it get stronger. I took a digital pregnancy test and saw the words “pregnant” and could not wait to have another November baby.
This morning, I started bleeding.
I don’t know for sure that I’m miscarrying. But there’s nothing we can do. We were medically confirmed by our doctor last week, and I was supposed to call the OB this morning to make an appointment.
This isn’t a post to say, “everything happens for a reason.” This is a post to say miscarriages are EXTREMELY common and I want to be open and transparent about our journey.
This isn’t a post to say, “I’m not sad.” Because I am. But I still have hope. I know that nothing we did caused our loss. I know that we will get pregnant again and have a viable pregnancy. I know that if I hadn’t been testing, I would have just thought my period was a few days late. Early pregnancy loss is extremely common, but it doesn’t make it any less real.
I’m here if you want to ask more questions.
I’m here if you want to talk about your pregnancy loss.
I’m here if you want to talk about your infertility journey.
I’m here if you need someone to sit in silence with you.
I’m here if you want to talk about your exciting pregnancy.
Basically, I’m here for all of you, no matter what.
Let’s end the silence of pregnancy loss.
And that’s all I know.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m so excited to have gotten pregnant again, but it’s so so so riddled with fear.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today, my doctor’s office called to give me an update on my blood test from this morning, but I missed the call. The nurse left a message to call her back, and I was convinced this meant bad news.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It wasn’t bad news - my HCG doubled as expected and my progesterone is good.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But the fear is still there and I think it will be for the next 8+ months. Seeing the heartbeat won’t even stop the worry - we saw the heartbeat on two different occasions last time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m really trying to live in the moment. Today, everything is good.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This time next week I should be in labour. I should have a healthy baby girl/boy. I should be choosing between so many lovely names. Instead I’m trying to prepare on how to survive this Christmas being empty-handed. #miscarriagemama #pregnancylossjourney #miscarriageawareness #miscarriagesurvivor #miscarriagesupport #babyloss #angelbaby #iam1in4 #iamamothertoanangel #ihadamiscarriage #managingmiscarriage #miscarriagestory #miscarriagerecovery #earlymiscarriage #mynewnormal #findingpeace #duedatesoon #mybaby #babylossmamas #babylosscommunity #miscarriagequotes #miscarriagematters #miscarriageblog #miscarriagehurts
