My heart breaks for you. I had 11 miscarriages. after accepting that I wouldn't have biological children... Then a surprise was I gave birth to my only daughter at 39 years old. It was a very hard pregnancy, and she was born prematurely. She's now 7 and thriving. I've had a few miscarriages since trying to give her a sibling, but we still feel so blessed. I will continue to pray for you. Your mental, emotional, and physical health as all is included in your journey.
I lost two babies in our first year of marriage. Our first was a little girl and we were 17 weeks with her. I didnt know i was having a miscarriage until shortly before she was born, she was born in the hospital waiting room bathroom, and i had to hold her until they finally did something to help. No explanation as to why. We were told it was a fluke and got pregnant again 3 months later. Our little boy was 20 weeks along when my waters broke. He had a heartbeat that morning before my body went into labor and that killed me inside because he was healrhy until my waters broke and i felt like it was my fault, my body wasnt working, i felt like i killed him. He was born at 20 weeks sleeping. I've delivered two babies right into heaven and it stinks. Im so sorry for your loss. Gods getting me through my losses but it is really hard. I see him using it and i just cling to hope that one day we will have our own babies. Trust is so hard in this though and it really made me press more into Christ or I would not have been able to get through it. Prayers for you all and thank you for sharing the hard parts. I felt so alone in the midst of my two losses and while i wouldnt wish it on anyone it means a lot to know there is someone who understands
I had a stillbirth at almost 8 months I went on to have a miscarriage, I then went on and had healthy pregnancy. Every women is different there maybe similarity but it's a individual loss to each. I pray for you, hugs
Oh my gosh, yes! When I had my ectopic pregnancy, that's how I felt. I felt like my body had killed my baby. My testimony is farther down somewhere or up? Anyway, alot of loss on this thread but hope as well. Hope in Christ.
Sweet young lady you are so very brave to share your painful journey. Thank you. Me and my brother are 11 years apart. My mother suffered 6 miscarriages between us. I do not wish that much loss on anyone, but hope others share similar comments here and it somehow comforts you to know bringing home a baby after multiple losses can be a common occurrence. Much love to you from Texas. ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss, India. Praying for healing as you and your husband walk this hard, grief filled road. Praying that the knowledge that so many are out here grieving alongside you will give hope and light to that path. (Preface, the following is information related to recurring pregnancy loss, possible causes, treatments etc. "more medical jargon" is NOT always helpful or appreciated while wading through grief, but sometimes we want answers or ways to research to get more understanding. If that is something anyone here would appreciate pinning for later, or looking into, that's why I'm sharing it. As a woman who has her own host of fertility struggles, I'm shocked and angered that some of this is not more public knowledge. So many of us end up having to reinvent the wheel when it comes to understanding why spontaneous pregnancy loss happens, or still births, or whatever type of loss. Some of us have scoured the Internet and seen so many doctors. We may not ever get answers. But if this info can help anyone, I wanted to share) 1. Stillbirths (past 1st trimester) can be a result of what's called an incompetent cervix. A treatment that is often overlooked/not talked about is something called a TAC- transabdominal cerclage. 2. "Recurrent miscarriage syndrome due to blood coagulation protein/platelet defects: prevalence, treatment and outcome results. DRW Metroplex Recurrent Miscarriage Syndrome Cooperative Group" is a free article in the national library of medicine available online. Interestingly, Christina Perry (the singer, not to be confused with Katy Perry) has also shared a lot about some serious research and issues in the medical world when it comes to understanding what causes pregnancy loss and how to prevent it. As a reminder to all of us, though, pregnancy loss is not your fault. It happens and sometimes we don't know why. We do the best with the knowledge that we have. All parents who have experienced loss deserve nothing but compassion and support ❤
I'm so sorry. I know there are no words that can be said that makes any loss any less heartbreaking. I struggled with infertility for 3 years. After 1.5 of treatments, i had a transfer that worked. But I didn't know - my hospital says any hcg under 10 you are not pregnant. Mine was between 5-9. I only discovered I had been pregnant when I went into labor at home. It was awful. That was Aug 2022. Then I had another transfer. This one worked as well. My first hcg was 10 - I wasn't hopeful because of my previous loss. I was about 7 weeks when I lost that pregnancy. 2 things stick out to me when I was in the ER. One, the PA asking me if this was a wanted pregnancy. Two, her telling me I didn't have a pregnancy in my uterus and to come back 10 mins later to say maybe she was wrong. Maybe I wasn't far enough along to see anything (I was - I had already seen my baby on ultrasound). This was Dec 2022. I did another transfer in Feb 2023 and it failed. I then broke my ankle and had to put treatments on hold (I had issues with healing and had treatments were put on hold until Nov). I ended up doing another transfer on Dec 5th. I am now pregnant with my double rainbow baby. 16 weeks and 1 day. There isn't a day I'm not terrified something is going to happen. I wish I can have more joy than fear. I wish I didn't have to hold the knowledge of knowing what loss is like. I send prayers to you. All your feeling are valid and it's okay to feel them. I did group therapy with other women who had just experienced loss and it was healing to have that space to speak with others who could understand what I was going through. That really helped me.
I'm so, so sorry, India😢 "Fear not, for I AM with you; Be not dismayed, for I AM your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
Bawling my eyes out with you. We had a miscarriage a month ago at 10 weeks. It is the worst thing we have even been through, I've never been so emotional and depressed in my entire life. Praying for you 🙏
It’s a horrible feeling to lose a baby, let alone two. I’m so sorry. I’m 37 we’ve been ttc for years. I had a D&C to remove tissue making it hard to conceive and a Hysterosalpingography (HSG) to check my tubes. I’ve had a chemical pregnancy and a miscarriage. It’s so hard to keep waiting, to keep hoping while also fearing another loss and fearing that I’m too old now. Seeing friends and family with their babies/kids makes me happy and incredibly sad. India, thank you for sharing your experience. There aren’t many talking about pregnancy loss and you are helping me and I’m sure many others. I’m rooting for you!
I’m sorry for all the women who go through this. I lost 9 early pregnancy but the tenth was a home run. My daughter is my only child after being told I couldn’t have one successful to term. She is 29 this year , don’t give up.
I have also gone through silent miscarriage and I will say that it’s so difficult to grasp that it’s real. I struggled for weeks thinking they made a mistake. I truly mean this when I say I feel so much empathy for you and your loss. I’m praying for you and wish you peace.
I had a ectopic pregnancy 41 yrs ago. I know one day I’ll see that baby in heaven. I didn’t grieve and later got depressed and we had to go back and grieve. I’m so sorry you had two heart breaks. Bless your heart blessing to you both. I pray for a pregnancy and baby soon.
Hi India. I'm a grandmother of 6 so I'm quite a bit older than you. But tears welled up just reading the title of this video because I knew about your ectopic pregnancy as well and two such devastating loses back to back.😢😢 I too am a Christian and what a beautiful testimony you shared about trusting God's plan even when you hate it and at times rail against it and have to fight your way back to faith and trust. I too only have a left fallopian tube. I had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy before there were ultrasounds so I was at the point of bleeding out before it was discovered. It took almost a year to get pregnant again. I had two pregnancies after that, one they said looked like a missed miscarriage but after a week of prayer and waiting, they were wrong. I'm so so sorry they weren't wrong in your case. But I so understand that feeling of never trusting future pregnancies. It's so scary to be thrilled and also terrified all at the same time. I did have 2 healthy babies after that, both of whom almost died at aged 3 of different things but they are in their 30's and 40's now. Praise the Lord. One only made it, according to the doctor, because I was still breastfeeding at almost 4 years old. This child refused to stop and we decided there was a reason. Well there was. God knew. She quit on her own soon after her illness. I've been involved in crisis pregnancy counseling since 1984. When I first started I saw the famous picture of the baby in the sac removed from an ectopic pregnancy. They knew it was a boy. So tiny but so remarkably a baby at 4 weeks gestation (6 weeks from lmp) It had been years but I cried hysterically and carried that picture around for years. His name is Jeremy and he is in Heaven with your babies and 3 of my grandchildren. There is Hope, India. I know you know that. It helped me to read all the Bible stories of women who pleaded for years for a baby before they were finally blessed beyond measure. Sarah, Hannah, Rachel.... You said it, God's timing though it is so so hard for us mere humans with brains incased in a hard scull to understand His infinitely wise plan. Much love and prayers. ❤️ 🙏 ❤️ 🙏 Jan, your sister in Christ
Oh, sweetie I am so sorry. I know your pain. My mom comforted me with the thought of my relatives who had passed decades before holding and being with my baby in heaven. Maybe that thought can bring you comfort as well. It does get better. You all will be in my prayers.
I saw your post on Instagram and my heart sank....I am so very sorry for your loss 😢 having gone thru one and only one pregnancy after over nine years of infertility only to lose that baby, has me emotional to this day. We never thought we would get pregnant, were told without IVF it would be possible. God gave us a miracle for just a short time, but we were ecstatic! Then hearing my blood work didn't look good, and things were rising, meant I would most likely miscarry...a week after my positive test, our baby left is...they would be turning 7 this year....we didn't get to know the gender, nor see them on an ultrasound, but seeing those positive tests, will stick with me forever...I am confused knowing our baby is in the arms of Jesus, getting to meet all my relatives that have passed and what a reunion that must've been! I cannot imagine going thru loss after loss, I just wanted to jump thru the screen and hug u I will continue to send u prayers as u navigate this journey
I’ve been watching you for years, probably since I was 15 and I am almost 23 now. And watching you go through this is absolutely heart breaking. What you said about praising God through the highs and lows made me tear up. That is truly the best thing you could possibly do in the valley. You both are so strong, keep praising God even when it makes no sense, and is the last thing you want to do. He is faithful and will see you through 💗
I am so sorry for your loss. I too had a missed miscarriage at 14 weeks with my second pregnancy. I am grateful for experiencing the joy of our first pregnancy resulting in our oldest son. I will never forget the combined silence and look of the ultrasound tech before she left the room. My husband was out of town and it hadn’t even occurred to me that there would be anything wrong. I left the office in shock and called my husband in hysterics. He returned home and I underwent a D&C. We awaited an autopsy to find out we lost a girl who had Down syndrome with heart defects. We were blessed with a third pregnancy, but the joy of the first pregnancy was not there and I was anxious waiting for the other shoe to drop the entire time. We now have 2 healthy teenage boys. It happens more than you think and keep the faith for your little blessings to come!
I remember my missed miscarriage. I also still felt pregnant. I couldn’t believe it. It felt like what was being told to me was a nightmare. Losing all the dreams we had for our baby was so hard. I couldn’t talk about it. You’re so brave. Thank you for sharing 🤍
My heart dropped when I saw this video. I'm so sorry. Thank you for being so brave and sharing this story. I anticipate fertility struggles because of having PCOS. I would never know what to expect without your video. So I appreciate the education. I'm so so sad to hear of your experience though. I was hoping you wouldn't have more bad news. Hold onto hope, it's there. I'm so sorry.
I have never related to a video more. First of all I'm sorry for your loss. The fear of it happening again and the ever hopeful husband... That was definitely part of my journey too. I had my first pregnancy in august 2023 and miscarried around week 6. Was told that the pregnancy had stopped somewhere in week 5. We were absolutely gutted. The same week I found out, that I was pregnant, we were also told that my moms cancer had returned for a third time, so I felt like the pregnancy was a blessing to get through this though time og give everyone hope for at positive future. So when I lost my pregnancy, it felt like I might also lose my mom. I luckily became pregnant again and found out in the beginning of february 2024. We went for early ultrasounds to make sure everything was all right. I wasn't as scared as I thought I would be, but at the same time I was constantly checking if I was bleeding, because I didn't feel anything last time. After a tumultuous week and a half with bloodwork and doctor appointments we finally had some answers. It was a missed abortion, that had stopped somewhere in week 5.. AGAIN. I was supposed to be almost 8 weeks. It's been almost 2 weeks since the abortion and the sorrow hits me on and off. Seeing you cry definitely helped me to allow myself to cry as well. Something I want and really need to do, but I have found extremely difficult. I hope your husband is better than mine to let himself feel whatever it is he is feeling. Mine constantly tries to be strong for me, but honestly I just need him to cry so I also can be bawling my eyes out.
Oh India, I am so, so, so sorry. I resonated with your first loss and now unfortunately with the second. My husband and I had a miscarriage last July at 7 weeks and again in November at 6 weeks. It has completely devastated us, and the only thing we can cling to is Jesus. Grateful beyond all measure we have him. One thing that has comforted me is that I truly don’t think it was God’s plan for my children to die. I don’t think he decided to end the lives of my unborn children. I think, heartbreakingly, this is just a part of the fall of man and that Jesus is sitting and weeping with us. I think through our trials we can testify to God’s goodness even in the hard times, which is what you are doing. Thank you for sharing your story, I know God is with you and Daniel in these grave times. Praying for peace and comfort for you both.
What an encouragement and beautifully written. God is so good. I also believe it isn’t His plan for this to happen. But He is with you India and Daniel in every moment of happiness and grief. ❤
This is gut wrenching and I am so sorry this happened to you and your family. Know they are in a beautiful place right now and they know how much you both loved them! I know nothing will take this pain away but I am just so sorry
Thank you for being so brave enough to share your story. The part that really resonates with me is when you said you trust gods timing more than your own because that can be so difficult. I had a miscarriage at 17 weeks last year. I went to the doctor for a check up and everything was perfect and that same night I started having really frequent contractions and I knew something was wrong. My husband had just left out of town for a work conference so I was all alone. After laboring in the ER for hours they gave me an ultrasound and told me my baby boy had no heart tones. I then went to labor and delivery to give birth to him. I remember laying on that bed just questioning so many things but also having a divine peace that I knew it was all going to be ok. I am now 34 week pregnant with our rainbow baby and his due date is the exact same date last year that we lost our baby. My sincerest condolences to you and your husband and thank you so much for being so open ❤❤
I cried watching this whole video. I am so sorry for your loss. I had a miscarriage in December and it absolutely shattered my heart. I was 6 weeks, everything cleared itself out on its own, I'm thankful I didn't have to have surgery. But the whole time I felt like I was in a horror movie. Out of all the days it could have happened, it happened on Christmas eve day. This past Christmas was the worst Christmas I've ever had in my life. I didn't get mad at god, but I was very hurt, still am hurt. It comes and goes, some days I'm okay others I still grieve. We've been trying again, I've had one cycle so far and didn't get pregnant but hoping for the next cycle to be different and praying for my rainbow baby. I will be praying for you and your husband ❤
I’m so sorry for the loss of your sweet babies. I am praying for your physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. My first pregnancy was a missed miscarriage. Then I had my beautiful daughter who is now almost 8, followed by another missed miscarriage and then my sweet little boy who is 5. In 2020, I had a stillborn baby girl, Vivian Drew. In the time since, I’ve had two more miscarriages. All losses were “unexplained.” All bloodwork came back normal. God has held me closer with each loss, and I pray for you as you wrestle with Him. It is incredibly hard! There are no words to describe the hurt and the questioning. Just know you are being covered in prayer and love.
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss 😢 Fertility issues are such a hard and delicate topic and I appreciate your openness to share your story and feelings with us ❤ We have been trying to get pregnant for four years now and despite all health checks coming back positive, I have almost given up hope that I will one day hold our baby in my arms. Not knowing what the problem makes it even more difficult and the "just keep trying" by our doctors feels pointless. It's tough. Sending out strength and a big hug to all you great women out there who struggle with fertility.
Let me say how sorry I am for your loss. I too know the pain of going through such unimaginable grief at what should be such a happy time in your young lives. I had 4 miscarriages in a row then had my one son and then an ectopic pregnancy after him. That’s when I realized God gave me that one son for a reason when it was the right time….His time. I am thankful for him every day and I think I appreciate him and being a mother even more than I would have if I hadn’t gone through what I did. Don’t give up and prayers to you both!!!🙏
I'm so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine the hurt you feel. I had 2 chemical pregnancies prior to my first baby and it was like emotional whiplash, the highest of highs followed by the lowest of lows.
I’m so sorry about your loss. I just did my 8th ivf transfer in January and it worked I got pregnant but unfortunately had an early miscarriage. Also had an early miscarriage back in self last year as well. Will be doing my 9th transfer in April or may now so hopefully it works this time.
I'm so sorry India. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage. My second I ended up having to get a D&C as well. This was 1999 so I don't know if things were different but I wasn't offered anesthesia. I had to listen to my baby being sucked out of me. Clogging the vacuum every now and then, seeing the tissue going through the tube. It was beyond traumatic. I'm so glad you were offered anesthesia. I ended up accidentally pregnant before I even had a period again and he was my rainbow baby. You'll be in my thoughts for sure. Hugs.
You are being added to my prayers, India. I’m so sorry you experienced this. Grieving the loss of this precious child with you, crying with you, and praying for an increase in unwavering joy. May God use this for the good & His Glory. Amen ❤
Oh gosh I cried through this whole video, there are just no words for the sadness of losing a child. You are not alone. There are so many other moms and moms-to-be out there feeling the pain with you and I hope in some small way you can feel all the love and prayers we are sending your way ❤
I am so sorry that you and Daniel have experienced another loss. I lost one around 7 weeks. I know there are no words. Praying for you both and that God will wrap you in His arms and comfort you.
I am so sorry for your losses. You are not alone. My first pregnancy in 2016 was a missed miscarriage. We had the ultrasound after Thanksgiving. I refused to believe them and held onto hope because I still felt pregnant. I prayed for a miracle, but in January, I started bleeding and the pain was excruciating - so I opted for D&C. It was so hard to be festive for the holidays when there was this cloud above our heads…. In 2018, I gave birth to my daughter. She is now 5 years old and long to be a big sister. I’ve had 3 losses after her and it breaks my heart every time she asks why she doesn’t have a sibling, and yet I am so thankful for her because she is a miracle. I understand what you mean by pregnancy after loss robs you from the bliss. Praying for you, your husband, your healing, and your journey. ❤
Im so sorry for your loss 💔 I have every faith you will be a mother in time 🙏🏼 my daughter had an ectopic pregnancy wih her 1st pregnancy, 2 more miscarriages and now she has 2 beautiful babies and I believe it will happen to you also 🙏🏼
I am so very sorry this happened to you. My granddaughter experienced the same thing last year in the identical time frame. This would have been their second child and it would have been a girl. She was so devastated after the D and C, and so was the rest of the family. You are so brave sharing your story, and I am certain you will have your baby in time. May God bless you. Sending you love and light.
I'm so sorry! I've had 1 miscarriage and then years of infertility leading to IVF which resulted in my miracle rainbow baby in Feb 2022. Praying for you!
I’m so sorry 🤍🤍🤍I am so sorry When you said you cried on and off on and off on and off that was me for over a year. It’s been almost 5 years and thinking about that day when I heard those words.. I don’t even want to say them now but she was looking at his beautiful heart that had been beating just the day before and then… anyway. Grief is a process, it’s your love showing and it’s different for everyone. I love what you said about trusting the Lord and praising him no matter what. I have felt his love so many times since it happened and I knew he was there holding my hand and I know for anyone reading this going through something similar he will be right there with you holding you. He will help you every step of the way, and he allows our babies to show us in different ways they are still with us and I love for those moments. Thank you for sharing your journey and this sacred experience with us 🤍🙏🏼 I send you a hug
Oh hon, I'm so sorry you went through that pain again! I myself had 5 miscarriages, a stillborn (23 weeks) and a son who died at 3 years old. I praise God that I have 3 children who are now 33, 31 and 23, walking with 3 bonus children. I'm here if you ever need someone to cry with, talk to, or anything else. God's ways are not our ways... and sometimes that brings us great sorrow. ❤ I am praying for you to get that beautiful rainbow baby that you get to raise.
Oh sweetie… to say I’m sorry is such an understatement. I have 5 Angel babies .. 3 rainbow babies. My boys are each 1/2 of a set of twins. The fear is real.. my youngest is now 17. And yet I still mourn my babies. Sending you loads of love and prayers for Gods peace and comfort for you and your family.
@@indiabatson26 that is true, but God! I know my babies are with him. He has put people in my life that helped me and he has used me in other peoples lives.. it is easy to praise him when it is good, and so hard when it’s painful. 🌹💕
I had my first miscarriage with my first pregnancy and ended up having a D&C on Feb 21 2024 (same day as you it sounds like) the tissue and placenta formed but an embryo never formed. I still don’t know why or what caused an embryo to form but they said we’re good to start trying again whenever we’re ready. During the time of my miscarriage I watched your ectopic rupture story. I’m so so sorry for your losses. I find myself having all the same feelings as you. I’m following your journey and pray you get your rainbow baby so so soon ❤
I am so sorry, an can totally understand what you are going through. I had an incomplete miscarriage with my first pregnancy, although i didnt know it was incomplete until i got an infection and ended up in the emergency dept, hooked up on IV antibiotics. I was so frightened to try again, i feared it would happen again. We went on to have 2 healthy, great pregnancies, timed 3 years apart. Thank you for sharing your experience, i know its very difficult, but we can all support each other through times like this, by sharing, listening and caring.
I’m praying for you! This has to be so overwhelming hard. Though God never intended this to be your story He knows what your fertility journey will look like and is with you giving you strength to overcome whatever it takes to experience bringing new life into this world. You are loved by 2 babies in heaven mama! This isn’t our forever home.❤️
I'm so sorry darling. I pray for you and all the warriors that are sharing their stories in the comment section. I had a chemical last year. The day of the positive pregnancy tests were unbelievably joyful. Baby dust to us all ✨️
My heart cries for your loss. I suffered from infertility issues and had four miscarriages, two in my second trimester. I so deeply grieved the loss of my babies as well as the loss of the dreams I had for them. I have two beautiful young adult children! My fourth pregnancy resulted in the birth of my son and it was hard not to be afraid. One of my best friend’s who had terminal cancer sensed my fear and told me to celebrate the life I had inside of me at that moment. Her words meant so much to me. I believe you did the right thing having the DNC. My second pregnancy I took off work and waited one long and miserable week to miscarry naturally. I ended up with an infection and had to have the DNC anyway. My message to you is: 1. Never give up hope. 2. It is ok to rage at God. I remember screaming at him as I drove away from an appointment where I had been given terrible news. 3. Be kind and loving toward yourself. Give yourself grace. I was not and remember standing in front of the mirror hating myself and telling myself I was defective, useless and not really a full woman. I am so sorry to my younger self. Even if I had not gone on to have children, it was not true. When I was pregnant with both my son and daughter, one of the scriptures I relied upon is “For God did not give us a Spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.” Also, “He makers the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children”. Before I knew I was pregnant with my daughter, I had a dream that I gave birth to a little baby girl. She spoke to me and said “I have been trying to get to you for a very long time.” I found out a few days later that I was pregnant with her.
Sending you all my love. I had a miscarriage on my second pregnancy and it was devastating. Praying you feel God’s arms around you holding you tight at this difficult time. Have you read the Heaven’s Nursery poem. I found it brought me great comfort. ❤
So sorry for your loss. Keep praying. Keep the faith. God has the perfect child coming for you. As for the two you have lost, give them names. They will be waiting for you in heaven
India, I am so sorry. And, thank you for sharing your story. We, who have gone through fertility struggles feel less alone when we share our stories. I hope this is therapeutic for you as well. I’m praying we all get our miracle soon 🙏
Ohh.. that silence during the ultrasounds. That awful silence. We lost 2 before I was able to carry my identical twins to term. Our twins were given a 50% chance of survival. Despite the odds; I have my boys now (thank God) but I did not get to enjoy any of my pregnancies. I’m so sorry for everything you’re going through. You’re not alone and I’m so proud of you for telling your story. I’ve been following you for years and I hate to see you go through this. Just know that you are already a GREAT mom.
The 'whys' are part of the suffering as well, and this is so hard. Having suffered infant loss and miscarriage, I do identify and grieve with you and Daniel. Your attitude and trust are remarkable. Thank you.
I’m pretty sure everyone who watches this just wishes they give you a big southern mama bear hug through the screen🤍praying for you and Daniel through this journey. Thank you for sharing your heart with us.
I suffered infertility and then after finally getting pregnant, a miscarriage. After two years of heartbreak, I became pregnant with twins. God has a plan and as I have found, your experiences will help you to help others in the future. May God comfort you and encourage you. 🙏🏼❤️
I haven’t experienced a child loss, but I truly understand your pain. I am honored to be able to hear Daniel and your story. I am constantly praying for y’all to have confronting angels to surround you in this time of need. Keep remembering that the Lord is always on your side. I love y’all.
Currently pregnant with my first and the fear of "something happening" is somehow always lurking above your head (especially in the first trimester, because everyone talks about the possibility of misscarriage). It totally steals away the joy you should be feeling in this new, beautiful beginning. It's only now in my fourth month that's I'm "surrendering" to this pregnancy, so now I kind of wish I had done it from the beginning. Yes, "something" could still happen, but if nothing happens, than I robbed myself and this baby of joy we deserve for no reason - and *even if* something happens - the baby still deserves joy from the mama, because we love the child endlessly no matter how short or long their life is. So India, even though I cannot imagine how hard it must be and how big the fear is after everything you went through, give yourself the grace to feel endless joy when a new pregnancy happens. Loss makes you wary of happiness, maybe we're even subconsciosly thinking we're gonna "jinx it" if we're not careful and we're "too happy". I don't believe God works those ways. He wouldn't steal joy because there was too much of it. We don't know his reasons but he is a good God and he rejoices in our joy too, so don't forget to not fear happiness!
I feel for you. I too experienced a similar story to you. Loss at the end of my first trimester. The doctors office I went to at that time was quite terrible. No compassion. I had to deal with another dr in the group who was not my regular physician. I remember being told there was no heartbeat. The dr didn’t explain the options the way they were explained to you. A very long story summarized the miscarriage did not happen naturally after a couple of months called the dr office, went in and was told I was still testing that I was pregnant. The dr said they were going to check to see if there was a twin. There was not. Ultimately had a D&C. Such a painful experience and loss. When I became pregnant again I was scared. As you say the free feeling of excitement is tainted. We did successfully have our daughter who is now 14. Prayers for you and your husband. You are not alone.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I had a miscarriage as well. It’s heartbreaking and so confusing but God definitely has a plan, as you said. Take care of yourself. God bless you!
I have never been pregnant and can't imagine the pain you both are feeling. Not just you two but also everyone who's lost a child. I will pray for you and Daniel for healing and comfort.
Girlll my heart breaks for your experience. Our first pregnancy was a chemical which is the best kind I guess considering. I was devastated. We tried again 4 months later got pregnant again and I was terrifieddddd. Always worried and celebrated every single day. Thankfully I had a beautiful girl and she’s two now. I’m 19 weeks pregnant now with a boy and I’m still worried and I’ve been sick. It’s just something you never forget. Sending so much love. 💕
I’m so sorry for all of the loss you’ve endured these last months. Thankfully you had options so you could make the choice that worked best for you and your body. ❤
I am so so sorry for your loss. We lost our first baby in May of 2020 and it absolutely shattered my heart. I have an almost 3 year old (I got pregnant again July 2020) and almost one year old now and I thank God everyday. I will be praying for you and your husband❤️
I went through the same thing and hopefully you can receive some advice. I had to change doctors, I explained to the next doctor what happened and he said as soon as you know you're pregnant contact the office and we will have a prescription ready for you. He prescribed a compounded (made for me specifically) progesterone suppository. I had to insert it and let it melt and lay in my bed for an hour a day in the morning and I did this for the first trimester. Worked like a charm. Since then I have learned that the previous doctor just had to give me a progesterone shot as soon as I started to spot and it would have stopped the loss. Then just do the suppository. I did grief counseling and it helped also. Give your children names, because you will see them again. We had planned and prepared for so long and you need to grieve the future you lost. My son is now fifteen and is an amazing child. I know several women that did the shot that stopped the loss, I don't know why some doctors don't just do it, it won't hurt anything. Amazing to me that most doctors don't even check your hormone levels. It will happen, take heart.
I’m so sorry India. I have never been through a pregnancy loss but during my pregnancy with my son I bled the whole time. Sometimes there were clots and I remember sobbing hoping and praying that I wasn’t having a miscarriage. I am incredibly lucky and didn’t but I remember that fear and that gut wrenching feeling the first time I saw that blood. Gods plans are better than ours but it is okay and understandable to be upset about them and be angry. He can take it. You and Daniel are so strong for sharing your story. My husband and I are added to your list of prayer warriors. We will continue to pray for incredible healing from this pain as well as peace in the process.
I'm so sorry this happened to you, my heart breaks for every woman that goes through this because I know the pain. We tried for 8 years while trying to figure out my endometriosis...it took 15 years to finally start our family, we adopted our baby girl since I needed to have a hysterectomy because of my health. I hope you get your rainbow baby
I’m so so sorry for your losses. I’m e also had a few pregnancy losses.. My first pregnancy ever in 2019 was a complete molar pregnancy (it’s when an empty egg gets fertilized and developed into a tumor like growth). Then we had our healthy son in 2021 ❤️ And then we had a missed miscarriage in June 2023 at 9 weeks but the baby quit growing at 6 weeks. Then we had a late missed miscarriage a couple months ago at 16 weeks but that baby had stopped growing and passed away at 12 weeks and 3 days. Drs have ran blood tests, did the autopsy on our most recent loss, tested the placenta, they’ve tested everything and it all came back perfectly normal.. I agree that God’s plan is better than our own. And I too don’t believe that we’ll ever understand why it had to be like this.. But God does know why and all we can do is lean on Him and trust in Him. Sending huge hugs and prayers India 🙏❤️ You’re not alone.
I'm so sorry! This is terrible, and I'm glad you had a medical team to help you with this process. This happened to my daughter and she wasn't given the d&c option. Thank you for sharing. I love your positive attitude. Keep the faith. Love to you both...
I have no words other than I am soo sorry for your loss!!! Thats soo heart breaking!!! Praying that God stays close to you and your family during the very difficult time.🙏🩷
India I just have love and care for your family. I am so sorry for the losses you’ve experienced. I will be praying over you and Daniel. Thank you for being so vulnerable when you don’t have to be. 🫶🏽
I am so so sorry sweetheart for your loss. Thank you for sharing your doubts and fears and your choice to praise God in this dark dark time. You are not alone❤️
I just had a missed miscarriage, made it to about 8 weeks when we found out things were not progressing as expected on Feb 22nd and confirmed with a follow up ultrasound on the 29th. I related so much to your story, not knowing you could miscarry but your body still thinks you're pregnant. Being given "options" right after learning we weren't having our baby. We hadn't told anyone I was pregnant yet so nobody knows about the miscarriage and it's been so hard pretending everything's ok. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It's really helped me to not feel so alone. I don't know why things like this happen, but they do, and we will get through this. I will take some time to grieve, but eventually, I have faith we'll both have happy news to celebrate. ❤️
My heart breaks for you both. I had an early miscarriage once, where I didn’t even know I was pregnant and only later realised and I also thought I lost my planned for baby after bleeding excessively, only to then find out I had not but I’d already processed in my head that he was gone (I even went alone to the hospital because I couldn’t face having to deal with my husband’s emotions as well as mine). It’s such an odd thing, regardless how early, once you have processed you are and start to make those little plans in your head, they are here and they are real and the loss is very real. This is so common and we don’t really talk about it so this is an important video you have shared and hopefully helped other women to have their feelings validated. This will happen for you, have faith. You are such a loving, wonderful person and you will make a wonderful mummy ❤
got emotional as soon as i saw the title. i’m so sorry you’re experiencing these losses India. i’ve never been pregnant but i feel for you. we want to conceive but have unresolved fertility issues so we haven’t actively tried. i yearn to be a mother & it’s always been my dream. just praying we both get there someday. i pray the Lord comforts you & gives you peace during this time of grief
I am so sorry you had to go through two traumatic losses back to back India. I so appreciate your honesty and openness to share. I watched your video one week before I also found out about my missed miscarriage. With no cramps, bleeding etc the shock when the tech goes silent knowing something is wrong is just a gut punch. Hearing how you handled it and explained options and the procedure made me so much more comfortable yesterday when I had my d&c. Thank you again for sharing with no friends or family who have gone through this watching your video and knowing I’m not alone with all these mixed emotions was helpful. I will keep you in thoughts and prayers for continued healing ❤️🩹🙏🏼 Thank you again you are very courageous!
When we were married 7 years we finally did fertility treatments, lost the baby, and the next pregnancy was FULL of the unknown, it's so hard. India, praying for you both, it's okay to carry multiple emotions at once, but it's unimaginable. You will meet these babies in heaven, and I will meet mine ❤
My Aunt could not get pregnant or lost a baby for 10 years. After 10 years of trying she had a baby boy went on to have 5 more children. She kept the faith. Praying for you and your husband.🙏🏻✝️
Oh India, I am so very sorry for your loss. You are the age of my children and I can't imagine the pain you are going through. Thank you for sharing. I know this will help someone going through the same thing. God Bless you.
I’m so sorry for your loss. And feel your pain with you. Lost our first pregnancy to a missed miscarriage at my first US at 9 weeks in October. Deafening quiet during our US. I’m a nurse and unfortunately, knew before my husband that something was wrong. I feel completely robbed of that first pregnancy bliss, the excitement and fearless joy that some feel. I wanted a D&C but my OB recommended the pills hopeful that it would work. Still retained products which then lead to a D&C. We are currently trying again, however I don’t feel I bounced back as many die after surgery. My periods are so off but having a feeling that’s due to the emotional stress this has all created. Wishing you peace and know you didn’t do anything wrong and your babies will always be with you❤
I m so sorry! need to add to my previous comment. I suffered with infertility for twenty years. It was so painful. I started taking this to balance my hormones, and wam. It was so shocking. It’s such a heartbreak. I help people with this often and everyone succeeds to keep baby to term. Again, my heart hurts for you. I’m so sorry.
Oh India. My heart is with you and breaks for you. 💜 In a recent video of yours I felt like you were pregnant from how you seemed overjoyed and had this extra special spark. I wished for you a healthy pregnancy. I am so so sorry that you are going through this a second time. 😔 I went through a missed miscariage at the end of July 2023 and was totally shattered. At now almost 39 years old I feel like time is running out quickly. We’re trying to get pregnant and I am as much excited to hopefully get pregnant again as I am scared it might go wrong once more. We can only have hope and faith it will all go well. Sending you much love and support through this incredibly challenging time. 💜
I am going through this journey along side you. I had a chemical pregnancy the week of Thanksgiving, I got pregnant again immediately after and we announced to our family on New Years. The weekend before Valentines Day I went to the ER with bleeding and cramping, I should have been almost 12 weeks but instead they found no heart beat a d saod the baby had been gone for a while. It has been a long dreadful month of multiple rounds of medication that keep failing. I'm 7 ultrasounds in and if the next one shows theres still retained tissue I'll have a D&C. I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone and I'm so sorry you are going through this. Praying we all get our rainbows at the end of this darkness💔🌈
This video brought me to tears of pain and awe. I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. Sometimes life can be cruel and so very unfair. I'm not religious, but I can see that you have created a safe and caring community here, and you sharing this story in such a brave and vulnerable way will help so many women to know they are not alone, and be a light for those who cannot share their experiences elsewhere. Maybe that is his plan for you. ❤️
I am so heartbroken for you and your husband 💔 You are an amazing woman, sending you lots of love. Also I just watched your newest video and I am in full agreement that women who are going through loss shouldn't have to sit in the same waiting room. I never thought about that until you brought attention to it. I have one son, and I could not even fathom having to sit next to another woman who is still expecting and possibly being asked questions. The heartbreak is so deep. I hope bringing national attention to this will bring change to that. I love you so much, and hope you have the best time during your vacation in Costa Rica! You need time to get away from everything, it will be so so good. Tight hugs for you, and wishing you all the best for the future child you will love ♥️
i'm so sorry, india. i hate how badly you are hurting... you look very beautiful when you cry though. I hope this isn't inappropriate to say but I feel very strongly that you will get your baby and we all know what wonderful parents you will be.
India darling, my heart breaks for you. I've been there. Missed miscarriage at 11 weeks in october last year, also had a D&C and the tests revealed she (she was confirmed to be a girl) had a major chromosomal disorder. I'll never forget the doctor's face, the still image on the screen, and his first words being "guys I'm so sorry, this isn't good news". I cried nonstop for a month. You're not alone, we're all here with you. And we'll all celebrate with you when you get your rainbow baby. I'm pregnant again, 12 weeks so far, it will happen for you. All my love xxxx
PD: the first trimester after a pregnancy loss is horrific. The fear, the uncertainty, the sheer anxiety. My heart goes out to anyone going through any kind of loss or pregnancy after loss ❤
I can see God’s strength shining through you. Even through the tears and talking about these traumatic experiences. Thank you for sharing your story for other women to be encouraged by ❤
Wow! I have never had children, but I am saddened by your story and very sorry for your incredible loss. However, I am so blessed and uplifted by your faith and trust that the Lord's plan is always perfect, even when we don't understand. I hope your are encouraged that one day you will meet both of your beautiful children, and they will be perfect!! ♥
My heart breaks for you. I experienced a miscarriage of twins after trying so long a few months ago. Tried to pass it naturally but ended up needing a D&C now recovering from that. So much empathy and prayers India!
My heart breaks for you.
I had 11 miscarriages. after accepting that I wouldn't have biological children... Then a surprise was I gave birth to my only daughter at 39 years old. It was a very hard pregnancy, and she was born prematurely. She's now 7 and thriving.
I've had a few miscarriages since trying to give her a sibling, but we still feel so blessed.
I will continue to pray for you. Your mental, emotional, and physical health as all is included in your journey.
You were blessed, as was I. I had a daughter at 38, our one and only.
You will be blessed again ✨️
I lost two babies in our first year of marriage. Our first was a little girl and we were 17 weeks with her. I didnt know i was having a miscarriage until shortly before she was born, she was born in the hospital waiting room bathroom, and i had to hold her until they finally did something to help. No explanation as to why. We were told it was a fluke and got pregnant again 3 months later. Our little boy was 20 weeks along when my waters broke. He had a heartbeat that morning before my body went into labor and that killed me inside because he was healrhy until my waters broke and i felt like it was my fault, my body wasnt working, i felt like i killed him. He was born at 20 weeks sleeping. I've delivered two babies right into heaven and it stinks. Im so sorry for your loss. Gods getting me through my losses but it is really hard. I see him using it and i just cling to hope that one day we will have our own babies. Trust is so hard in this though and it really made me press more into Christ or I would not have been able to get through it. Prayers for you all and thank you for sharing the hard parts. I felt so alone in the midst of my two losses and while i wouldnt wish it on anyone it means a lot to know there is someone who understands
I am so sorry for your awful loss.
Oh sister!!! My heart breaks for you!!!! I hate you delivered baby in hospital bathroom. I dealt with similar and it's soo traumatizing.
I had a stillbirth at almost 8 months I went on to have a miscarriage, I then went on and had healthy pregnancy. Every women is different there maybe similarity but it's a individual loss to each. I pray for you, hugs
I am so sorry for your losses. Traumatic and heart wrenching are the only words that could begin to describe these experiences.
Oh my gosh, yes! When I had my ectopic pregnancy, that's how I felt. I felt like my body had killed my baby. My testimony is farther down somewhere or up? Anyway, alot of loss on this thread but hope as well. Hope in Christ.
I’m so sorry. You grieve honey both of you for as long as it takes.
You are a gem 🩷🩷
Sweet young lady you are so very brave to share your painful journey. Thank you.
Me and my brother are 11 years apart. My mother suffered 6 miscarriages between us. I do not wish that much loss on anyone, but hope others share similar comments here and it somehow comforts you to know bringing home a baby after multiple losses can be a common occurrence. Much love to you from Texas. ❤
Thank you so much for listening🫶& thank you so much for sharing about your mom 🩷🩷🩷🩷
I'm so sorry for your loss, India. Praying for healing as you and your husband walk this hard, grief filled road. Praying that the knowledge that so many are out here grieving alongside you will give hope and light to that path.
(Preface, the following is information related to recurring pregnancy loss, possible causes, treatments etc. "more medical jargon" is NOT always helpful or appreciated while wading through grief, but sometimes we want answers or ways to research to get more understanding. If that is something anyone here would appreciate pinning for later, or looking into, that's why I'm sharing it. As a woman who has her own host of fertility struggles, I'm shocked and angered that some of this is not more public knowledge. So many of us end up having to reinvent the wheel when it comes to understanding why spontaneous pregnancy loss happens, or still births, or whatever type of loss. Some of us have scoured the Internet and seen so many doctors. We may not ever get answers. But if this info can help anyone, I wanted to share)
1. Stillbirths (past 1st trimester) can be a result of what's called an incompetent cervix. A treatment that is often overlooked/not talked about is something called a TAC- transabdominal cerclage.
2. "Recurrent miscarriage syndrome due to blood coagulation protein/platelet defects: prevalence, treatment and outcome results. DRW Metroplex Recurrent Miscarriage Syndrome Cooperative Group" is a free article in the national library of medicine available online.
Interestingly, Christina Perry (the singer, not to be confused with Katy Perry) has also shared a lot about some serious research and issues in the medical world when it comes to understanding what causes pregnancy loss and how to prevent it.
As a reminder to all of us, though, pregnancy loss is not your fault. It happens and sometimes we don't know why. We do the best with the knowledge that we have. All parents who have experienced loss deserve nothing but compassion and support ❤
I'm so sorry. I know there are no words that can be said that makes any loss any less heartbreaking. I struggled with infertility for 3 years. After 1.5 of treatments, i had a transfer that worked. But I didn't know - my hospital says any hcg under 10 you are not pregnant. Mine was between 5-9. I only discovered I had been pregnant when I went into labor at home. It was awful. That was Aug 2022. Then I had another transfer. This one worked as well. My first hcg was 10 - I wasn't hopeful because of my previous loss. I was about 7 weeks when I lost that pregnancy. 2 things stick out to me when I was in the ER. One, the PA asking me if this was a wanted pregnancy. Two, her telling me I didn't have a pregnancy in my uterus and to come back 10 mins later to say maybe she was wrong. Maybe I wasn't far enough along to see anything (I was - I had already seen my baby on ultrasound). This was Dec 2022.
I did another transfer in Feb 2023 and it failed. I then broke my ankle and had to put treatments on hold (I had issues with healing and had treatments were put on hold until Nov).
I ended up doing another transfer on Dec 5th. I am now pregnant with my double rainbow baby. 16 weeks and 1 day. There isn't a day I'm not terrified something is going to happen. I wish I can have more joy than fear. I wish I didn't have to hold the knowledge of knowing what loss is like.
I send prayers to you. All your feeling are valid and it's okay to feel them. I did group therapy with other women who had just experienced loss and it was healing to have that space to speak with others who could understand what I was going through. That really helped me.
I'm so, so sorry, India😢 "Fear not, for I AM with you; Be not dismayed, for I AM your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
Amen and amen ❤❤❤❤❤
Amen great words from our god
Bawling my eyes out with you. We had a miscarriage a month ago at 10 weeks. It is the worst thing we have even been through, I've never been so emotional and depressed in my entire life. Praying for you 🙏
My heart breaks for you and everyone on this thread who shared their losses. I'm so sorry, and I'm praying for you all.
It’s a horrible feeling to lose a baby, let alone two. I’m so sorry. I’m 37 we’ve been ttc for years. I had a D&C to remove tissue making it hard to conceive and a Hysterosalpingography (HSG) to check my tubes. I’ve had a chemical pregnancy and a miscarriage. It’s so hard to keep waiting, to keep hoping while also fearing another loss and fearing that I’m too old now. Seeing friends and family with their babies/kids makes me happy and incredibly sad. India, thank you for sharing your experience. There aren’t many talking about pregnancy loss and you are helping me and I’m sure many others. I’m rooting for you!
I’m sorry for all the women who go through this. I lost 9 early pregnancy but the tenth was a home run. My daughter is my only child after being told I couldn’t have one successful to term. She is 29 this year , don’t give up.
I have also gone through silent miscarriage and I will say that it’s so difficult to grasp that it’s real. I struggled for weeks thinking they made a mistake. I truly mean this when I say I feel so much empathy for you and your loss. I’m praying for you and wish you peace.
I had a ectopic pregnancy 41 yrs ago. I know one day I’ll see that baby in heaven. I didn’t grieve and later got depressed and we had to go back and grieve. I’m so sorry you had two heart breaks. Bless your heart blessing to you both. I pray for a pregnancy and baby soon.
Hi India. I'm a grandmother of 6 so I'm quite a bit older than you. But tears welled up just reading the title of this video because I knew about your ectopic pregnancy as well and two such devastating loses back to back.😢😢 I too am a Christian and what a beautiful testimony you shared about trusting God's plan even when you hate it and at times rail against it and have to fight your way back to faith and trust.
I too only have a left fallopian tube. I had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy before there were ultrasounds so I was at the point of bleeding out before it was discovered. It took almost a year to get pregnant again. I had two pregnancies after that, one they said looked like a missed miscarriage but after a week of prayer and waiting, they were wrong. I'm so so sorry they weren't wrong in your case. But I so understand that feeling of never trusting future pregnancies. It's so scary to be thrilled and also terrified all at the same time. I did have 2 healthy babies after that, both of whom almost died at aged 3 of different things but they are in their 30's and 40's now. Praise the Lord. One only made it, according to the doctor, because I was still breastfeeding at almost 4 years old. This child refused to stop and we decided there was a reason. Well there was. God knew. She quit on her own soon after her illness.
I've been involved in crisis pregnancy counseling since 1984. When I first started I saw the famous picture of the baby in the sac removed from an ectopic pregnancy. They knew it was a boy. So tiny but so remarkably a baby at 4 weeks gestation (6 weeks from lmp) It had been years but I cried hysterically and carried that picture around for years. His name is Jeremy and he is in Heaven with your babies and 3 of my grandchildren.
There is Hope, India. I know you know that. It helped me to read all the Bible stories of women who pleaded for years for a baby before they were finally blessed beyond measure. Sarah, Hannah, Rachel.... You said it, God's timing though it is so so hard for us mere humans with brains incased in a hard scull to understand His infinitely wise plan.
Much love and prayers. ❤️ 🙏 ❤️ 🙏
Jan, your sister in Christ
Oh, sweetie I am so sorry. I know your pain. My mom comforted me with the thought of my relatives who had passed decades before holding and being with my baby in heaven. Maybe that thought can bring you comfort as well.
It does get better. You all will be in my prayers.
Oh India, I’m so sorry. 🙏
Thank you so much freind❤❤
So sorry.
I saw your post on Instagram and my heart sank....I am so very sorry for your loss 😢 having gone thru one and only one pregnancy after over nine years of infertility only to lose that baby, has me emotional to this day. We never thought we would get pregnant, were told without IVF it would be possible. God gave us a miracle for just a short time, but we were ecstatic! Then hearing my blood work didn't look good, and things were rising, meant I would most likely miscarry...a week after my positive test, our baby left is...they would be turning 7 this year....we didn't get to know the gender, nor see them on an ultrasound, but seeing those positive tests, will stick with me forever...I am confused knowing our baby is in the arms of Jesus, getting to meet all my relatives that have passed and what a reunion that must've been! I cannot imagine going thru loss after loss, I just wanted to jump thru the screen and hug u
I will continue to send u prayers as u navigate this journey
Thank you so much for sharing your story❤ you have such a beautiful soul. I hope our babies are playing together in heaven 🫶
@@indiabatson26 me too
I’ve been watching you for years, probably since I was 15 and I am almost 23 now. And watching you go through this is absolutely heart breaking. What you said about praising God through the highs and lows made me tear up. That is truly the best thing you could possibly do in the valley. You both are so strong, keep praising God even when it makes no sense, and is the last thing you want to do. He is faithful and will see you through 💗
I am so sorry for your loss. I too had a missed miscarriage at 14 weeks with my second pregnancy. I am grateful for experiencing the joy of our first pregnancy resulting in our oldest son. I will never forget the combined silence and look of the ultrasound tech before she left the room. My husband was out of town and it hadn’t even occurred to me that there would be anything wrong. I left the office in shock and called my husband in hysterics. He returned home and I underwent a D&C. We awaited an autopsy to find out we lost a girl who had Down syndrome with heart defects. We were blessed with a third pregnancy, but the joy of the first pregnancy was not there and I was anxious waiting for the other shoe to drop the entire time. We now have 2 healthy teenage boys. It happens more than you think and keep the faith for your little blessings to come!
I remember my missed miscarriage.
I also still felt pregnant. I couldn’t believe it. It felt like what was being told to me was a nightmare. Losing all the dreams we had for our baby was so hard. I couldn’t talk about it. You’re so brave. Thank you for sharing 🤍
My heart dropped when I saw this video. I'm so sorry.
Thank you for being so brave and sharing this story. I anticipate fertility struggles because of having PCOS. I would never know what to expect without your video. So I appreciate the education. I'm so so sad to hear of your experience though. I was hoping you wouldn't have more bad news. Hold onto hope, it's there. I'm so sorry.
I have never related to a video more. First of all I'm sorry for your loss. The fear of it happening again and the ever hopeful husband... That was definitely part of my journey too. I had my first pregnancy in august 2023 and miscarried around week 6. Was told that the pregnancy had stopped somewhere in week 5. We were absolutely gutted.
The same week I found out, that I was pregnant, we were also told that my moms cancer had returned for a third time, so I felt like the pregnancy was a blessing to get through this though time og give everyone hope for at positive future. So when I lost my pregnancy, it felt like I might also lose my mom.
I luckily became pregnant again and found out in the beginning of february 2024. We went for early ultrasounds to make sure everything was all right. I wasn't as scared as I thought I would be, but at the same time I was constantly checking if I was bleeding, because I didn't feel anything last time. After a tumultuous week and a half with bloodwork and doctor appointments we finally had some answers. It was a missed abortion, that had stopped somewhere in week 5.. AGAIN. I was supposed to be almost 8 weeks. It's been almost 2 weeks since the abortion and the sorrow hits me on and off.
Seeing you cry definitely helped me to allow myself to cry as well. Something I want and really need to do, but I have found extremely difficult.
I hope your husband is better than mine to let himself feel whatever it is he is feeling. Mine constantly tries to be strong for me, but honestly I just need him to cry so I also can be bawling my eyes out.
Oh India, I am so, so, so sorry. I resonated with your first loss and now unfortunately with the second. My husband and I had a miscarriage last July at 7 weeks and again in November at 6 weeks. It has completely devastated us, and the only thing we can cling to is Jesus. Grateful beyond all measure we have him.
One thing that has comforted me is that I truly don’t think it was God’s plan for my children to die. I don’t think he decided to end the lives of my unborn children. I think, heartbreakingly, this is just a part of the fall of man and that Jesus is sitting and weeping with us. I think through our trials we can testify to God’s goodness even in the hard times, which is what you are doing. Thank you for sharing your story, I know God is with you and Daniel in these grave times. Praying for peace and comfort for you both.
What an encouragement and beautifully written. God is so good. I also believe it isn’t His plan for this to happen. But He is with you India and Daniel in every moment of happiness and grief. ❤
This is gut wrenching and I am so sorry this happened to you and your family. Know they are in a beautiful place right now and they know how much you both loved them! I know nothing will take this pain away but I am just so sorry
Thank you so much for listening you are a gem ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for being so brave enough to share your story. The part that really resonates with me is when you said you trust gods timing more than your own because that can be so difficult. I had a miscarriage at 17 weeks last year. I went to the doctor for a check up and everything was perfect and that same night I started having really frequent contractions and I knew something was wrong. My husband had just left out of town for a work conference so I was all alone. After laboring in the ER for hours they gave me an ultrasound and told me my baby boy had no heart tones. I then went to labor and delivery to give birth to him. I remember laying on that bed just questioning so many things but also having a divine peace that I knew it was all going to be ok. I am now 34 week pregnant with our rainbow baby and his due date is the exact same date last year that we lost our baby. My sincerest condolences to you and your husband and thank you so much for being so open ❤❤
I cried watching this whole video. I am so sorry for your loss. I had a miscarriage in December and it absolutely shattered my heart. I was 6 weeks, everything cleared itself out on its own, I'm thankful I didn't have to have surgery. But the whole time I felt like I was in a horror movie. Out of all the days it could have happened, it happened on Christmas eve day. This past Christmas was the worst Christmas I've ever had in my life. I didn't get mad at god, but I was very hurt, still am hurt. It comes and goes, some days I'm okay others I still grieve. We've been trying again, I've had one cycle so far and didn't get pregnant but hoping for the next cycle to be different and praying for my rainbow baby. I will be praying for you and your husband ❤
I’m so sorry for the loss of your sweet babies. I am praying for your physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. My first pregnancy was a missed miscarriage. Then I had my beautiful daughter who is now almost 8, followed by another missed miscarriage and then my sweet little boy who is 5. In 2020, I had a stillborn baby girl, Vivian Drew. In the time since, I’ve had two more miscarriages. All losses were “unexplained.” All bloodwork came back normal. God has held me closer with each loss, and I pray for you as you wrestle with Him. It is incredibly hard! There are no words to describe the hurt and the questioning. Just know you are being covered in prayer and love.
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss 😢 Fertility issues are such a hard and delicate topic and I appreciate your openness to share your story and feelings with us ❤
We have been trying to get pregnant for four years now and despite all health checks coming back positive, I have almost given up hope that I will one day hold our baby in my arms. Not knowing what the problem makes it even more difficult and the "just keep trying" by our doctors feels pointless. It's tough.
Sending out strength and a big hug to all you great women out there who struggle with fertility.
Let me say how sorry I am for your loss. I too know the pain of going through such unimaginable grief at what should be such a happy time in your young lives. I had 4 miscarriages in a row then had my one son and then an ectopic pregnancy after him. That’s when I realized God gave me that one son for a reason when it was the right time….His time. I am thankful for him every day and I think I appreciate him and being a mother even more than I would have if I hadn’t gone through what I did. Don’t give up and prayers to you both!!!🙏
I'm so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine the hurt you feel. I had 2 chemical pregnancies prior to my first baby and it was like emotional whiplash, the highest of highs followed by the lowest of lows.
There are no words of comfort I can offer. I’m glad you have your husband and your faith to support you through this really tough time ❤
I’m so sorry about your loss. I just did my 8th ivf transfer in January and it worked I got pregnant but unfortunately had an early miscarriage. Also had an early miscarriage back in self last year as well. Will be doing my 9th transfer in April or may now so hopefully it works this time.
I’m so sorry for both of your losses 💔😭 I hope this next transfer grows your family ❤❤❤
Oh India! I know this pain. I’m so sorry😔💜
You poor sweet woman. Im so sorry. We will grieve with you support you and send love from all corners of the earth.❤❤❤
I feel the love ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so sorry India. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage. My second I ended up having to get a D&C as well. This was 1999 so I don't know if things were different but I wasn't offered anesthesia. I had to listen to my baby being sucked out of me. Clogging the vacuum every now and then, seeing the tissue going through the tube. It was beyond traumatic. I'm so glad you were offered anesthesia. I ended up accidentally pregnant before I even had a period again and he was my rainbow baby. You'll be in my thoughts for sure. Hugs.
You are being added to my prayers, India. I’m so sorry you experienced this. Grieving the loss of this precious child with you, crying with you, and praying for an increase in unwavering joy. May God use this for the good & His Glory. Amen ❤
Oh gosh I cried through this whole video, there are just no words for the sadness of losing a child. You are not alone. There are so many other moms and moms-to-be out there feeling the pain with you and I hope in some small way you can feel all the love and prayers we are sending your way ❤
I am so sorry that you and Daniel have experienced another loss. I lost one around 7 weeks. I know there are no words. Praying for you both and that God will wrap you in His arms and comfort you.
I am so sorry for your losses. You are not alone. My first pregnancy in 2016 was a missed miscarriage. We had the ultrasound after Thanksgiving. I refused to believe them and held onto hope because I still felt pregnant. I prayed for a miracle, but in January, I started bleeding and the pain was excruciating - so I opted for D&C. It was so hard to be festive for the holidays when there was this cloud above our heads…. In 2018, I gave birth to my daughter. She is now 5 years old and long to be a big sister. I’ve had 3 losses after her and it breaks my heart every time she asks why she doesn’t have a sibling, and yet I am so thankful for her because she is a miracle. I understand what you mean by pregnancy after loss robs you from the bliss. Praying for you, your husband, your healing, and your journey. ❤
Im so sorry for your loss 💔 I have every faith you will be a mother in time 🙏🏼 my daughter had an ectopic pregnancy wih her 1st pregnancy, 2 more miscarriages and now she has 2 beautiful babies and I believe it will happen to you also 🙏🏼
I am so very sorry this happened to you. My granddaughter experienced the same thing last year in the identical time frame. This would have been their second child and it would have been a girl. She was so devastated after the D and C, and so was the rest of the family. You are so brave sharing your story, and I am certain you will have your baby in time. May God bless you. Sending you love and light.
I'm so sorry! I've had 1 miscarriage and then years of infertility leading to IVF which resulted in my miracle rainbow baby in Feb 2022. Praying for you!
I’m so sorry 🤍🤍🤍I am so sorry
When you said you cried on and off on and off on and off that was me for over a year. It’s been almost 5 years and thinking about that day when I heard those words.. I don’t even want to say them now but she was looking at his beautiful heart that had been beating just the day before and then… anyway. Grief is a process, it’s your love showing and it’s different for everyone. I love what you said about trusting the Lord and praising him no matter what. I have felt his love so many times since it happened and I knew he was there holding my hand and I know for anyone reading this going through something similar he will be right there with you holding you. He will help you every step of the way, and he allows our babies to show us in different ways they are still with us and I love for those moments. Thank you for sharing your journey and this sacred experience with us 🤍🙏🏼 I send you a hug
Oh hon, I'm so sorry you went through that pain again! I myself had 5 miscarriages, a stillborn (23 weeks) and a son who died at 3 years old. I praise God that I have 3 children who are now 33, 31 and 23, walking with 3 bonus children. I'm here if you ever need someone to cry with, talk to, or anything else. God's ways are not our ways... and sometimes that brings us great sorrow. ❤ I am praying for you to get that beautiful rainbow baby that you get to raise.
There is nothing worse in life that can happen than a parent losing their child. I’m praying God wraps his arms around you in multiple ways India
Oh sweetie… to say I’m sorry is such an understatement. I have 5 Angel babies .. 3 rainbow babies. My boys are each 1/2 of a set of twins. The fear is real.. my youngest is now 17. And yet I still mourn my babies. Sending you loads of love and prayers for Gods peace and comfort for you and your family.
Oh I’m so so sorry for your losses as well 💔🩷 I don’t think uou ever “get over it”. Doesn’t matter how much time passes by 🫶
@@indiabatson26 that is true, but God! I know my babies are with him. He has put people in my life that helped me and he has used me in other peoples lives.. it is easy to praise him when it is good, and so hard when it’s painful. 🌹💕
I had my first miscarriage with my first pregnancy and ended up having a D&C on Feb 21 2024 (same day as you it sounds like) the tissue and placenta formed but an embryo never formed. I still don’t know why or what caused an embryo to form but they said we’re good to start trying again whenever we’re ready. During the time of my miscarriage I watched your ectopic rupture story. I’m so so sorry for your losses. I find myself having all the same feelings as you. I’m following your journey and pray you get your rainbow baby so so soon ❤
I am so sorry, an can totally understand what you are going through. I had an incomplete miscarriage with my first pregnancy, although i didnt know it was incomplete until i got an infection and ended up in the emergency dept, hooked up on IV antibiotics. I was so frightened to try again, i feared it would happen again. We went on to have 2 healthy, great pregnancies, timed 3 years apart. Thank you for sharing your experience, i know its very difficult, but we can all support each other through times like this, by sharing, listening and caring.
I’m praying for you! This has to be so overwhelming hard. Though God never intended this to be your story He knows what your fertility journey will look like and is with you giving you strength to overcome whatever it takes to experience bringing new life into this world. You are loved by 2 babies in heaven mama! This isn’t our forever home.❤️
I'm so sorry darling. I pray for you and all the warriors that are sharing their stories in the comment section. I had a chemical last year. The day of the positive pregnancy tests were unbelievably joyful. Baby dust to us all ✨️
My heart cries for your loss. I suffered from infertility issues and had four miscarriages, two in my second trimester. I so deeply grieved the loss of my babies as well as the loss of the dreams I had for them. I have two beautiful young adult children! My fourth pregnancy resulted in the birth of my son and it was hard not to be afraid. One of my best friend’s who had terminal cancer sensed my fear and told me to celebrate the life I had inside of me at that moment. Her words meant so much to me. I believe you did the right thing having the DNC. My second pregnancy I took off work and waited one long and miserable week to miscarry naturally. I ended up with an infection and had to have the DNC anyway. My message to you is: 1. Never give up hope. 2. It is ok to rage at God. I remember screaming at him as I drove away from an appointment where I had been given terrible news. 3. Be kind and loving toward yourself. Give yourself grace. I was not and remember standing in front of the mirror hating myself and telling myself I was defective, useless and not really a full woman. I am so sorry to my younger self. Even if I had not gone on to have children, it was not true. When I was pregnant with both my son and daughter, one of the scriptures I relied upon is “For God did not give us a Spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.” Also, “He makers the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children”. Before I knew I was pregnant with my daughter, I had a dream that I gave birth to a little baby girl. She spoke to me and said “I have been trying to get to you for a very long time.” I found out a few days later that I was pregnant with her.
Sending you all my love. I had a miscarriage on my second pregnancy and it was devastating. Praying you feel God’s arms around you holding you tight at this difficult time. Have you read the Heaven’s Nursery poem. I found it brought me great comfort. ❤
So sorry for your loss. Keep praying. Keep the faith. God has the perfect child coming for you. As for the two you have lost, give them names. They will be waiting for you in heaven
India, I am so sorry. And, thank you for sharing your story. We, who have gone through fertility struggles feel less alone when we share our stories. I hope this is therapeutic for you as well. I’m praying we all get our miracle soon 🙏
Ohh.. that silence during the ultrasounds. That awful silence. We lost 2 before I was able to carry my identical twins to term. Our twins were given a 50% chance of survival. Despite the odds; I have my boys now (thank God) but I did not get to enjoy any of my pregnancies.
I’m so sorry for everything you’re going through. You’re not alone and I’m so proud of you for telling your story. I’ve been following you for years and I hate to see you go through this. Just know that you are already a GREAT mom.
The 'whys' are part of the suffering as well, and this is so hard. Having suffered infant loss and miscarriage, I do identify and grieve with you and Daniel. Your attitude and trust are remarkable. Thank you.
I’m pretty sure everyone who watches this just wishes they give you a big southern mama bear hug through the screen🤍praying for you and Daniel through this journey. Thank you for sharing your heart with us.
I suffered infertility and then after finally getting pregnant, a miscarriage. After two years of heartbreak, I became pregnant with twins. God has a plan and as I have found, your experiences will help you to help others in the future. May God comfort you and encourage you.
🙏🏼❤️
I haven’t experienced a child loss, but I truly understand your pain. I am honored to be able to hear Daniel and your story. I am constantly praying for y’all to have confronting angels to surround you in this time of need. Keep remembering that the Lord is always on your side. I love y’all.
Currently pregnant with my first and the fear of "something happening" is somehow always lurking above your head (especially in the first trimester, because everyone talks about the possibility of misscarriage). It totally steals away the joy you should be feeling in this new, beautiful beginning. It's only now in my fourth month that's I'm "surrendering" to this pregnancy, so now I kind of wish I had done it from the beginning. Yes, "something" could still happen, but if nothing happens, than I robbed myself and this baby of joy we deserve for no reason - and *even if* something happens - the baby still deserves joy from the mama, because we love the child endlessly no matter how short or long their life is. So India, even though I cannot imagine how hard it must be and how big the fear is after everything you went through, give yourself the grace to feel endless joy when a new pregnancy happens. Loss makes you wary of happiness, maybe we're even subconsciosly thinking we're gonna "jinx it" if we're not careful and we're "too happy". I don't believe God works those ways. He wouldn't steal joy because there was too much of it. We don't know his reasons but he is a good God and he rejoices in our joy too, so don't forget to not fear happiness!
I feel for you. I too experienced a similar story to you. Loss at the end of my first trimester. The doctors office I went to at that time was quite terrible. No compassion. I had to deal with another dr in the group who was not my regular physician. I remember being told there was no heartbeat. The dr didn’t explain the options the way they were explained to you. A very long story summarized the miscarriage did not happen naturally after a couple of months called the dr office, went in and was told I was still testing that I was pregnant. The dr said they were going to check to see if there was a twin. There was not. Ultimately had a D&C. Such a painful experience and loss. When I became pregnant again I was scared. As you say the free feeling of excitement is tainted. We did successfully have our daughter who is now 14. Prayers for you and your husband. You are not alone.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I had a miscarriage as well. It’s heartbreaking and so confusing but God definitely has a plan, as you said. Take care of yourself. God bless you!
I have never been pregnant and can't imagine the pain you both are feeling. Not just you two but also everyone who's lost a child. I will pray for you and Daniel for healing and comfort.
Girlll my heart breaks for your experience. Our first pregnancy was a chemical which is the best kind I guess considering. I was devastated. We tried again 4 months later got pregnant again and I was terrifieddddd. Always worried and celebrated every single day. Thankfully I had a beautiful girl and she’s two now. I’m 19 weeks pregnant now with a boy and I’m still worried and I’ve been sick. It’s just something you never forget. Sending so much love. 💕
I’m so sorry for all of the loss you’ve endured these last months. Thankfully you had options so you could make the choice that worked best for you and your body. ❤
So important!
I am so so sorry for your loss. We lost our first baby in May of 2020 and it absolutely shattered my heart. I have an almost 3 year old (I got pregnant again July 2020) and almost one year old now and I thank God everyday. I will be praying for you and your husband❤️
I went through the same thing and hopefully you can receive some advice. I had to change doctors, I explained to the next doctor what happened and he said as soon as you know you're pregnant contact the office and we will have a prescription ready for you. He prescribed a compounded (made for me specifically) progesterone suppository. I had to insert it and let it melt and lay in my bed for an hour a day in the morning and I did this for the first trimester. Worked like a charm. Since then I have learned that the previous doctor just had to give me a progesterone shot as soon as I started to spot and it would have stopped the loss. Then just do the suppository. I did grief counseling and it helped also. Give your children names, because you will see them again. We had planned and prepared for so long and you need to grieve the future you lost. My son is now fifteen and is an amazing child. I know several women that did the shot that stopped the loss, I don't know why some doctors don't just do it, it won't hurt anything. Amazing to me that most doctors don't even check your hormone levels. It will happen, take heart.
I’m so sorry India. I have never been through a pregnancy loss but during my pregnancy with my son I bled the whole time. Sometimes there were clots and I remember sobbing hoping and praying that I wasn’t having a miscarriage. I am incredibly lucky and didn’t but I remember that fear and that gut wrenching feeling the first time I saw that blood. Gods plans are better than ours but it is okay and understandable to be upset about them and be angry. He can take it. You and Daniel are so strong for sharing your story. My husband and I are added to your list of prayer warriors. We will continue to pray for incredible healing from this pain as well as peace in the process.
I'm so sorry this happened to you, my heart breaks for every woman that goes through this because I know the pain. We tried for 8 years while trying to figure out my endometriosis...it took 15 years to finally start our family, we adopted our baby girl since I needed to have a hysterectomy because of my health. I hope you get your rainbow baby
I’m so so sorry for your losses. I’m e also had a few pregnancy losses..
My first pregnancy ever in 2019 was a complete molar pregnancy (it’s when an empty egg gets fertilized and developed into a tumor like growth). Then we had our healthy son in 2021 ❤️ And then we had a missed miscarriage in June 2023 at 9 weeks but the baby quit growing at 6 weeks. Then we had a late missed miscarriage a couple months ago at 16 weeks but that baby had stopped growing and passed away at 12 weeks and 3 days. Drs have ran blood tests, did the autopsy on our most recent loss, tested the placenta, they’ve tested everything and it all came back perfectly normal.. I agree that God’s plan is better than our own. And I too don’t believe that we’ll ever understand why it had to be like this.. But God does know why and all we can do is lean on Him and trust in Him. Sending huge hugs and prayers India 🙏❤️ You’re not alone.
I’m so sorry India and Daniel 😢 what an awful experience to have to go through, especially after your first loss. I’m praying for you both ❤
I'm so sorry! This is terrible, and I'm glad you had a medical team to help you with this process. This happened to my daughter and she wasn't given the d&c option. Thank you for sharing. I love your positive attitude. Keep the faith. Love to you both...
I have no words other than I am soo sorry for your loss!!! Thats soo heart breaking!!! Praying that God stays close to you and your family during the very difficult time.🙏🩷
India I just have love and care for your family. I am so sorry for the losses you’ve experienced. I will be praying over you and Daniel. Thank you for being so vulnerable when you don’t have to be. 🫶🏽
your faith is so beautiful, praying over you and your husband 💛 i’m so sorry for your loss
I lost 11 babies you will never heal from the loss. I had one pregnancy beginning of year and one at the end of same year
I am so so sorry sweetheart for your loss. Thank you for sharing your doubts and fears and your choice to praise God in this dark dark time. You are not alone❤️
I just had a missed miscarriage, made it to about 8 weeks when we found out things were not progressing as expected on Feb 22nd and confirmed with a follow up ultrasound on the 29th. I related so much to your story, not knowing you could miscarry but your body still thinks you're pregnant. Being given "options" right after learning we weren't having our baby. We hadn't told anyone I was pregnant yet so nobody knows about the miscarriage and it's been so hard pretending everything's ok. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It's really helped me to not feel so alone. I don't know why things like this happen, but they do, and we will get through this. I will take some time to grieve, but eventually, I have faith we'll both have happy news to celebrate. ❤️
My heart breaks for you both. I had an early miscarriage once, where I didn’t even know I was pregnant and only later realised and I also thought I lost my planned for baby after bleeding excessively, only to then find out I had not but I’d already processed in my head that he was gone (I even went alone to the hospital because I couldn’t face having to deal with my husband’s emotions as well as mine). It’s such an odd thing, regardless how early, once you have processed you are and start to make those little plans in your head, they are here and they are real and the loss is very real. This is so common and we don’t really talk about it so this is an important video you have shared and hopefully helped other women to have their feelings validated. This will happen for you, have faith. You are such a loving, wonderful person and you will make a wonderful mummy ❤
India, your faith is beautiful and you are prayed for! You and Daniel both.
Thank you so much for sharing such a raw and real part of your life! I am so sorry for your loss! Sending so much love ❤️! Xx 🥰
got emotional as soon as i saw the title. i’m so sorry you’re experiencing these losses India. i’ve never been pregnant but i feel for you.
we want to conceive but have unresolved fertility issues so we haven’t actively tried. i yearn to be a mother & it’s always been my dream. just praying we both get there someday.
i pray the Lord comforts you & gives you peace during this time of grief
im so sorry India, my sister also lost two before her miracle baby boy & it was incredibly hard. Praying for you & your family, loss is never easy
I am so sorry you had to go through two traumatic losses back to back India. I so appreciate your honesty and openness to share. I watched your video one week before I also found out about my missed miscarriage. With no cramps, bleeding etc the shock when the tech goes silent knowing something is wrong is just a gut punch. Hearing how you handled it and explained options and the procedure made me so much more comfortable yesterday when I had my d&c. Thank you again for sharing with no friends or family who have gone through this watching your video and knowing I’m not alone with all these mixed emotions was helpful. I will keep you in thoughts and prayers for continued healing ❤️🩹🙏🏼 Thank you again you are very courageous!
When we were married 7 years we finally did fertility treatments, lost the baby, and the next pregnancy was FULL of the unknown, it's so hard. India, praying for you both, it's okay to carry multiple emotions at once, but it's unimaginable. You will meet these babies in heaven, and I will meet mine ❤
My Aunt could not get pregnant or lost a baby for 10 years. After 10 years of trying she had a baby boy went on to have 5 more children. She kept the faith. Praying for you and your husband.🙏🏻✝️
Oh India, I am so very sorry for your loss. You are the age of my children and I can't imagine the pain you are going through. Thank you for sharing. I know this will help someone going through the same thing. God Bless you.
I’m so sorry for your loss. And feel your pain with you. Lost our first pregnancy to a missed miscarriage at my first US at 9 weeks in October. Deafening quiet during our US. I’m a nurse and unfortunately, knew before my husband that something was wrong. I feel completely robbed of that first pregnancy bliss, the excitement and fearless joy that some feel. I wanted a D&C but my OB recommended the pills hopeful that it would work. Still retained products which then lead to a D&C. We are currently trying again, however I don’t feel I bounced back as many die after surgery. My periods are so off but having a feeling that’s due to the emotional stress this has all created. Wishing you peace and know you didn’t do anything wrong and your babies will always be with you❤
abnormally high hCG in early pregnancy often indicates a chromosomal abnormality in the embryo. i'm so sorry for your loss.
You are so incredibly brave to discuss this. I’m so sorry this happened to you 😢.
This video is going to help so many women . I admire you greatly ♥️
I m so sorry!
need to add to my previous comment. I suffered with infertility for twenty years. It was so painful. I started taking this to balance my hormones, and wam. It was so shocking. It’s such a heartbreak.
I help people with this often and everyone succeeds to keep baby to term. Again, my heart hurts for you. I’m so sorry.
'praise you in this storm' by casting crowns blessed me when my brother passed. Praying for you my friend.
Oh India. My heart is with you and breaks for you. 💜 In a recent video of yours I felt like you were pregnant from how you seemed overjoyed and had this extra special spark. I wished for you a healthy pregnancy. I am so so sorry that you are going through this a second time. 😔
I went through a missed miscariage at the end of July 2023 and was totally shattered. At now almost 39 years old I feel like time is running out quickly. We’re trying to get pregnant and I am as much excited to hopefully get pregnant again as I am scared it might go wrong once more. We can only have hope and faith it will all go well. Sending you much love and support through this incredibly challenging time. 💜
I am going through this journey along side you. I had a chemical pregnancy the week of Thanksgiving, I got pregnant again immediately after and we announced to our family on New Years. The weekend before Valentines Day I went to the ER with bleeding and cramping, I should have been almost 12 weeks but instead they found no heart beat a d saod the baby had been gone for a while. It has been a long dreadful month of multiple rounds of medication that keep failing. I'm 7 ultrasounds in and if the next one shows theres still retained tissue I'll have a D&C. I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone and I'm so sorry you are going through this. Praying we all get our rainbows at the end of this darkness💔🌈
This video brought me to tears of pain and awe. I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. Sometimes life can be cruel and so very unfair. I'm not religious, but I can see that you have created a safe and caring community here, and you sharing this story in such a brave and vulnerable way will help so many women to know they are not alone, and be a light for those who cannot share their experiences elsewhere. Maybe that is his plan for you. ❤️
I am so heartbroken for you and your husband 💔 You are an amazing woman, sending you lots of love.
Also I just watched your newest video and I am in full agreement that women who are going through loss shouldn't have to sit in the same waiting room. I never thought about that until you brought attention to it. I have one son, and I could not even fathom having to sit next to another woman who is still expecting and possibly being asked questions. The heartbreak is so deep. I hope bringing national attention to this will bring change to that. I love you so much, and hope you have the best time during your vacation in Costa Rica! You need time to get away from everything, it will be so so good. Tight hugs for you, and wishing you all the best for the future child you will love ♥️
i'm so sorry, india. i hate how badly you are hurting... you look very beautiful when you cry though. I hope this isn't inappropriate to say but I feel very strongly that you will get your baby and we all know what wonderful parents you will be.
India darling, my heart breaks for you. I've been there. Missed miscarriage at 11 weeks in october last year, also had a D&C and the tests revealed she (she was confirmed to be a girl) had a major chromosomal disorder. I'll never forget the doctor's face, the still image on the screen, and his first words being "guys I'm so sorry, this isn't good news". I cried nonstop for a month. You're not alone, we're all here with you. And we'll all celebrate with you when you get your rainbow baby. I'm pregnant again, 12 weeks so far, it will happen for you. All my love xxxx
PD: the first trimester after a pregnancy loss is horrific. The fear, the uncertainty, the sheer anxiety. My heart goes out to anyone going through any kind of loss or pregnancy after loss ❤
I can see God’s strength shining through you. Even through the tears and talking about these traumatic experiences. Thank you for sharing your story for other women to be encouraged by ❤
Wow! I have never had children, but I am saddened by your story and very sorry for your incredible loss. However, I am so blessed and uplifted by your faith and trust that the Lord's plan is always perfect, even when we don't understand. I hope your are encouraged that one day you will meet both of your beautiful children, and they will be perfect!! ♥
My heart breaks for you. I experienced a miscarriage of twins after trying so long a few months ago. Tried to pass it naturally but ended up needing a D&C now recovering from that. So much empathy and prayers India!
Oh sweet girl, I am so sorry. Sincerely, sending you love and hugs. ❤
