Xoxo Abbey - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Hey Abbey, I can't watch this video at the moment because I know it would be too close to home and too raw and painful for me BUT I really want to say huge HUGE thank you to you for talking about this (oh god I'm crying). I will watch when I can but it is just so SO valuable when people TALK about this. It's the only thing that makes me feel less alone. Peace out from a long time fan.
And a huge, intensely heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!
Natalie ✌🏽😘
Natalie Splatalie thank you ❤️ wishing you the best
@@jackiesesthetics88 Thank you ❤ such a lonely journey without people like you and Abbey
I bet it is painful. I have never even gotten close to being pregnant and I cried too.
OMG I'm crying! I truly felt sad while reading your comment. Obviously nothing compared to what you must be going through. I'm truly sorry for your loss. Hopefully you'll also get your rainbow this year. Wishing you the best! 🌈💝
@@AbbeysKitchen ...I finally plucked up the courage to watch. Don't know why I was so scared - I think just knowingly exposing myself to so much emotion! What an incredible story and video. Thank you so much for sharing your heart and hope. So much resonated with me but especially when you said about needing to be doing SOMETHING to move forward. We are at a point of dead end, very little hope. You've reminded me that I CAN keep going and there is hope even if it seems like only a miracle would enable me to have another baby (secondary infertility for us. I'm so grateful to you for acknowledging that infertility is still soul destroying when it's for baby #2). I would LOVE to hear about these alternative methods! Well done for surviving 2019 you absolute boss. 💪🏼💔💔❤
Beyond sick of IVF and fertility videos being demonitized.
Cora Blah ya that will totally happen here. But whatever I have to share
Why is it demonetized ?
Why do they get demonitized?? That’s crazy!
Nature's Calling- demonetization refers to a TH-cam video that can’t earn revenue from ads. I’m not a TH-camr so I don’t understand how it all works, but it’s a decision that TH-cam makes. Mama Doctor Jones is an OBGYN who posts educational videos about women’s health and her videos get demonitized
all the time. It’s ridiculous.
Vanessa F yah basically I guess the advertisers decide what is not “appropriate” content and content about Ivf and miscarriage etc may be too “controversial” for them 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I can’t believe Abbey has been struggling with this for so long and still managed to upload content and maintain a positive channel and outlook. I can’t even imagine how difficult that would be. Abbey you are inspirational, thank you for sharing ❤️
Carli Rebecca ❤️❤️
I lost 3 babies over 2018-2019 year I'm so sorry it's so incredibly difficult and I'm so happy for you and your rainbow baby!
Melissa Coolen thank you! And so sorry for your loss ❤️
My condolences for all 3 babies 🙏🙏🙏
I had no idea you were going through so much. I had my first miscarriage last week and im devastated. But im keeping my head up because I know everything happens for a reason and good things are coming ❤️
Vanessa Dallaire I am so sorry to hear that but yes! They are!! I am sure of it!
Vanessa Dallaire wishing you and your family the best ❤️
Sometimes it’s not the right moment to meet your little angel. You will meet them again one day, just not right now ❤️🙏🏽 Stay strong mama 🌟
I am so sorry, you're so strong and amazing.
Sending all the hugs Vanessa ❤️
YAY!!! Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for sharing all this!! I LOVE when women open up about their fertility struggles... it’s SO much more common than anyone ever realized and openly discussing it is the only way to remove the stigma that is so unnecessarily placed on this topic. I was TTC for 2 years and spent practically all of 2019 going through fertility treatments which ended in IVF. We did our transfer in November and it worked!! I’m 15 weeks tomorrow. Still pinching myself!! 🥰 Soooo happy for you and I can’t wait to see more of your pregnancy journey!! THANK YOU again for sharing all these details about your journey!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Ps still watching your video and getting chills ❤️
Aw love!! We’re so close in DD then!!
Yay! We had a gender suprise with both of ours too, and I loved it!
Congratulations 🙏
@@zzzzzbbbbbb7203 Congratulations 🙏
I'd love a video on nutrition suggestions for preparing for pregnancy and pregnancy!
Jaymie Chowning sure!
Omg me too!
I’m doing IVF next month (March) I would love to hear more about your journey and nutrition suggestions for preparing for pregnancy and pregnancy!
I would love to hear about your protocol! I’m doing ivf in next month so this is perfect timing!
Congratulations, Abbey! Miscarriage is devastating and we have to stop making assumptions and judgments about one another. There was no rainbow baby for us but we have found a way to be very happy on our own. Now if everyone else could be happy for us, that’d be great! So, so happy that your happy ending includes a sibling for Baby E. Love your channel and all the goodness you put into the world!
Zorosgal NYC thank you ❤️❤️
Congratulations 💜💜💜 our first boy was stillborn in June 2019 at 39 weeks. We are also expecting our rainbow baby in 2020 - another little boy due in May 🌈💙 sending love and wishes for health!
Danielle LaRocque so sorry for your loss but best of luck with your pregnancy ❤️
Sorry for your loss.... Huge congratulations on your Rainbow baby boy :) x
Danielle LaRocque I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope your baby is born healthy and well this year ❤️
Danielle LaRocque I just have to send you some love, my first daughter was stillborn at 41 weeks in 2015 and I had our rainbow girl the day before her angel sisters birthday one year later ❤️🌈 I’ve also had twin boys since! Happier days are coming for you ❤️💜
@@klsuggs wow, thank you for sending this 💕💜🌈 you bring hope to me and my partner, as it can often feel stressful awaiting the arrival of our rainbow baby. As a writer and literacy teacher, I've written a book about the loss since and found it so healing as well. Thank you for sharing your story 💜💜
Congratulations!!
Thank you for sharing your story! Over the course of 2016-2019 my husband and I lost 6 babies. Five of them due to miscarriage and one due to ectopic. As of today I am currently 22 weeks pregnant with our miracle little boy💙🌈
Karalyn Julian OMG congratulations!!!! I am soooo sorry for your loss! It’s so hard
Oh my goodnessssss I am so HAPPY for you Abbey! What an amazing year 2020 is going to be for you! I am praying for you and your whole family!!
Rachel Solomon thank you! 🙏🏼❤️
Went through a miscarriage last month and have been SO blessed by many people like yourself that are in the "Spotlight" opening up about their stories, let's me know I am not alone and that there is hope. Thank you Thank you!
Cherise Ambri so happy it has helped during such a hard time ❤️❤️
I have been pregnant 4 times and have one child, so I empathize with you. I’m glad you’re in your second trimester and doing well. Holding a good thought for you and your family
Mouse 97 thank you
Congratulations! My cousin just announced she was pregnant and I almost cried. All babies are such blessings. Those lost, and those not. You're so strong!
Cora Blah ❤️❤️
i lost my first baby a week and a half ago. the feeling of loving something so much and experiencing so much joy only to wake up knowing it’s gone is so devastating. you have given me so much hope. thank you for being so open and vulnerable. i know it mustn’t have been easy to share your story, but it meant so much to me and so many others who’ve seen this video 💕
I would be super interested to hear about this "alternative medicine" approach your doctor did with you. I am not trying to get pregnant or anything, I just think these alternative ways are fascinating to learn about
Eleni Demetrakopoulos totally!! I’ll share
@@AbbeysKitchen I'd suggest talking about it as 'complementary care' as opposed to 'alternative' since it works with western medicine.
Congratulations on the new addition to the family 💖 May many more happy moments come in 2020! Thank you for sharing your journey. You’re such a strong woman.
Nina Amende thank you!
I literally just got off the phone with my husband talking about how discouraged I am with our ivf process, and this was the first thing that popped up on my feed. This gives me so much hope!
Congratulations!! So happy for you :)
Meghan Simkins thank you ❤️❤️
OMG I cried at the end with the rainbow, I'm so glad you finally got this! May you have a wondrous and successful pregnancy and beautiful children :)
Glo Mar thank you 🙏🏻
Congratulations!!! You survived 2019 and you’re pregnant! You did it, I’m so happy for you. I couldn’t be more excited for you.
Teresa Gaytan Ward 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Wishing you and your ever growing family an amazing 2020 - 2019 suckedddddddd so it can only be better this year ♥️♥️
Zara Roddis thank you so much
Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️
:)
Thank you for sharing your story. Having had two miscarriages myself, I know how difficult it is to talk about in the first place let alone put it out for thousands and thousands to see. It's so brave of you and know that you are helping women feel comfort and like they're not alone and like there's hope, including myself. Congratulations on your rainbow baby🖤
Holly Drucker so sorry for your loss! Thank you 🙏🏻
CONGRATULATIONS! ♥️ I'm so happy for you! And thank you for speaking so openly about this. I haven't been through it myself, but you never know what will directly affect you in the future and I know my cousin found her miscarriage really hard. It takes a lot of courage to open up these things, but it's so amazing that you're willing to share.
Caroline thank you so much ❤️
Oh wow congratulations Abbey (and family), I'm so happy for you! Bless you and your little one, I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy experience that dulls all the stress and heartbreak a little bit. I think not finding out the sex is a great decision - let the child be who they will.
Also, since you asked for suggestions: my favorite boy' name is Milan, which means loving/gracious/kind and is quite common in my country but probably somewhat unique in Canada?
Sabrina Granger that is beautiful!! How do you pronounce it?
@@AbbeysKitchen Mil- as in "grain mill" and -an as in "un-happy", so basically the same as the city in Italy but without the heavy accent on the second syllable
I had no idea. You’re so strong 💪🏿 ❤️.
taylor views thank you 🙏🏼❤️
Congratulations, Abbey! It is so beautiful to see you being both so open and vulnerable, and also so happy. So many good wishes for you and your family!
Roxanne A-C thank you ❤️❤️
This video was so comforting for me to watch, 13 days out from an embryo transfer. This is our second transfer. The first one ended because of severe fetal abnormalities at 5 months, so the trauma of losing my son is deeply with me. I also have PCOS. All I've been able to think about (I have generalized anxiety) is how my stress/anxiety could affect this process. And though I know it wasn't your intent, knowing how much you stressed during your pregnancy and still got pregnant and reached the point that you feel comfortable announcing gives me so much hope. I've been stressing about stressing and then upset that I'm stressing about stressing. TY for sharing your journey.
Also, it sounds like I am where you were a year ago, which feels special that I happened upon this video. If this embryo takes hold, he will be an end of July or early August baby.
Congrats! We are one month appart! I can't wait for the second trimester, I just vomit this morning :(
Érika Plante-Jean ugh it’s the worst!
Yes please I would love to hear about this. My lining is my issue also. I have 6 rounds of egg retrieval behind me and no baby in arms. Good luck with this pregnancy xxx
Melanie stay tuned!! I’ll be sharing my whole protocol soon
Melanie thank you and to you too ❤️
My mother's lucky number was seven. I hope yours is too. Much love!
Wishing you so much luck this next time!
Congrats Abbey!!! I am so happy for you!! Once again I need to thank you so very much for your openness and honesty. I am G6, P1 while mine were not IVF and I can't even imagine how hard this journey has been for you, I hear you. It is so, so hard to miscarry. My heart goes out to you and your husband. Your bravery in first going through this journey, and then to share it is truly astounding. Some of the more unusual boy names that we loved and never got to use are Ronan, Stuart, Naveed, and Oscar. Every Leo I know is a very glass half full type person, and all of them have good hair. My daughter and one of my closest friends are both Virgos and both are perfectionists, dreamers, worriers, and very loyal, giving people.
Jennie Eveleigh Lamond I sound like a Virgo Leo mix lol 😂
Sending all my love your way ♥️ As a 20 year old with some issues with my ovaries I have a constant fear of finding it hard to conceive one day. Finding the strength to tell your story is incredible. Thank you ♥️
Madeleine C ❤️❤️
OH MY GOSH!! Congratulations!!!
I’m pregnant as well with my second! Not quite out of my first trimester yet, but I’m staying hopeful. 🧡
Savannah Rain same here. We got this 💪🏻
Jamie Yes, we do! And congratulations to you too!
Savannah Rain thanks!
prayers and baby dust!!!
Congratulations! Currently 14 weeks with my rainbow baby too ❤️
NomNomFairy thank you! Best wishes!
Congratulations!!! And thank you for sharing your experience... it's so easy to feel like we're the only ones going through this, even though we know that's not the case... it's strange that the experiences and comments of people we don't know can be so comforting! Good luck to all of you out there that are TTC! stay strong and positive!
Oh Abbey I am so sorry you suffered so much in 2019. I cannot imagine how hard that was. HUGE Congratulations on your pregnancy- I’m so happy for you. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and knowledge. 💕 you are amazing! 2020 is going to be your rainbow year 🌈
Courtney Lukacs thank you 🙏🏻
I'm genuinely so happy for you ❤️
November thank you 😊
I really like the name “Linus” for a boy! But I do agree, boys names are tough! Congratulations Abbey! ❤️
Y S love that
Oh, lovely name! Recognizable, with lovely connotations if you do know Peanuts comics. And uncommon. Great suggestion!
@@BusyLizzy_ Thank you, so kind of you!:)
I’m so happy for you. Such a tough thing to go through; thank you for sharing.
I love how you refer to your little one as ‘baby E’ and now ‘big boy E’. So cute.
Upon Reflection thank you!
Happy for you having come through all this. Love that you mentioned their potential star sign! Leo is fire so would fit perfectly with Aries and sag (also fire) but makes for a rather explosive, opinionated household lol. Virgo is earth so potentially more grounding. Virgo is into purity and perfectionism, so mindfulness and self acceptance are essential for bringing balance (but that literally goes for everyone). Congrats on your growing family, it’s great to talk about these difficult journeys but so so important. Also I’m so enraged that TH-cam would demonetise videos that speak honestly about female experience, I feel like this needs to be brought to greater attention and protested. The silencing needs to stop.
Yay! Congrats my dear. I feel yah! I have two girls with a 7 year gap. I went through 3 failed IVF cycles and several IUIs. I got pregnant after following a natural approach. As for names go with Zein! It’s cool if it’s a girl or a boy.
Arwa Al-Turkait very cool
Omg Abbey please do pre natal nutrition! I've been trying to soak up all I can before I start having my babies. Any info would be wonderful. And congratulations. I am thrilled for you x
Toni on it!!
@@AbbeysKitchen yass thanks Abbey. Much love from across the pond in Scotland! ❤️
Abbey you are an absolute angel. We’re all so incredibly proud of you!!! Sending sooooo much love and light to you.
Andrea Matamoros thank you
Congrats on your pregnancy! I can't imagine what you have gone through. It really makes the quote that floats around the internet to "be kind to everyone because you never know what battles people are facing" hit home. I wish you all the happiness for 2020.
SouthernBelleJC totally!!
🎉😭😭😭 Abby! Omg, I’m so happy for you! Sending all my blessings to you and your little one. May her or he be healthy and happy 🦋🤰🏼🌅🌈✨
LochNessNess thank you!
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you!
Thank you so much for sharing 💕
My rainbow maybe is 16 months old now! 🌈
mean poutine wow!! Congrats
Wow Abbey, you are incredible. The courage and strength it takes to go through these struggles, and openly talk about them is so inspiring! There are things in life that we have absolutely no control over, and it’s devastating and scary to be sitting in the unknown. But you’re out of the storm now, and I hope you feel peace and joy. I’m so so so very happy for you and your family, I’ll certainly be praying for your continued pregnancy and for the new little one!!! Much love!
Summer Larson thank you ❤️❤️
I went through IVF with my first born. It’s a long journey. I can’t image the losses on top of an already tough journey. Ty for being so authentic and spreading awareness. You’re so brave. This will help so many people. Congrats on your little blessing! ✌🏼
Kim Bondi thank you
Congrats. Im feeling distressed while you're telling this. I cant imagine how you felt.
thank you.
I feel like Zephyr would be a lovely name for you guys. A huge congratulations x
TheBearandBerry I really like that name; it reminds me of the name Vesper, which I also really like. 💖 It’s Latin and means “evening”.
Zephyr is my son's middle name. He's my rainbow.
such a good name
Congratulations! My heart is so happy for you. I have so much empathy as well
for your 2019 journey. While I haven’t faced infertility I did lose a beloved baby to miscarriage and my heart goes out to you. So excited for you and your family in 2020!
Lauren Arnold 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much for sharing. When I miscarried my first pregnancy, what I found out was that so many people I knew had been through something similar. I think we need to talk about this more. People think there is something wrong with them, when it is absolutely not the case and having a baby isn't always as easy as it appears to be.
I am 18 weeks with number 2 right now, and trying to take every day as it comes. Congratulations to you.
Sam Annetts congrats! We’re close together then!
This makes me realise how lucky some of us are to have access to such great medical care and opportunities. Not everyone is so fortunate
Sophie Walshe omg yes
Yes, I would love to hear about your doctor's new technique that he used to help you finally get pregnant...but you might need to make sure he's ok with you sharing that on youtube. So happy about your rainbow baby!! Congrats! May this new baby be born healthy, happy and whole, and may he/she be a great addition to your family and bring you great joy!
What a rollercoaster of emotion. Congratulations on your rainbow baby! Please do share more (and especially what helped this pregnancy be successful). My husband and I have our first fertility specialist appointment next week and I could relate to so much of what you were articulating in this video - I'm always looking for active ways I can improve my fertility and control the uncontrollable. So sorry for all the heartache you've been through and all the time, money and emotional investment that went into this journey.
Keely Turner coming up!!
Congratulations Abbey!! So happy that you got some light at the end of the tunnel! Wishing you all the best for a safe and healthy pregnancy!
Taylah Brooke thank you!!
Congrats!❤️❤️❤️
Shelly Wilson thank you!
She has the glow tho! 😍
WithLove L ASMR 😊😊
I'm so sorry to hear what you went through. It is heartbreaking to hear and read in the comments how hard something, that is widely seen as "coming oh so naturally", can be for some people. I wish you and everyone struggeling all the best!
seriously. so hard.
What a difficult, yet wonderfully ending, story! Congratulations - really happy for you and your family! ❤️
Emma Allen 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing - I have had 3 miscarriages. I will be starting PGD IVF this year. It would be amazing if you could share some dietary ideas for those going through IVF etc.
fiona ryn so sorry for your loss and yep! It’s coming
The ideas I immediately went for are names relating back to "rainbow" in one way or another
Arcus
Irideus
Iris
I'm sorry that you went through this Abbey and I'm happy to hear that 2020 is looking up! Congrats!
Genevieve Beaulieu thank you!
Such honest, raw, amazing video... thank you for sharing, Abbey! Congratulations on the pregnancy, you are an amazing mama!
Maria Kupreeva thank you
Possible Zodiac Signs of your Little One:
Natal Chart
• Sun: Virgo
• Moon: Libra
• Ascendant: Scorpio
• MC: Leo
I would say that the most important signs are the sun, moon, and rising (ascendant) signs. Together they will make up the majority of your child’s character traits.
According to the Chinese zodiac, your child will be a metal (or iron) rat. This is actually good! Humans who were born in the year of the Rat (chinese sign 子) have a genuine, charming nature - complemented with a bright personality.
Good luck and congratulations! 🎉🎊🎈
the ascendant and MC are dependent on the exact birth time, so thats a hard one to predict :D
thank you!
This video made me bawl. I am so happy for you and so sorry for everything you've been through
Kye Handelman ❤️❤️
To share such private, emotional things with the world takes bravery. Thank you for your courage. Congratulations to you on your sweet rainbow baby. 2020 is a beautiful new beginning for your family after such a difficult journey. I’m excited for you. Blessings, Abbey. ❤️ 🌈
Samantha C thank you !!
Hooray!!!! I have been there, both my boys (7 years apart) came to us via IVF, with lots of failed cycles, surgeries, and miscarriages in between. So I understand the roller coaster and I’m SO ecstatic for you! All the fingers and toes crossed for a healthy and happy pregnancy and delivery. ❤️
Chels W thank you !!!
My miracle son's name is Kindred because my husband and I love the saying, "Kindred Spirits" so maybe you should name baby #2 a word that means a lot to you and your hubby! 😘
stephanie hoffman so beautiful
stephanie hoffman I love that as a name!!!
We did the same we called our beautiful daughter Eden as she was our perfect place
That is adorable!
I love that name 💕
2:27 I am confused by the jump cut. Was your first pregnancy through IVF? Of course you are not obligated to answer if not comfortable. Thanks!
E D yes! First also Ivf
Thanks for sharing, Abbey! You are helping many with your story.
Thank you for sharing your journey. We lost our first pregnancy in December and it's been such a dark time. Appreciate your kindness and positivity towards such a hard topic.
it´s truly amazing how brave you´ve been and it just made me cry to see what you needed to go through...
I wish you just all the best with your current pregnancy and hope that in a couple of months you can take your completely healthy baby finally in your arms!
Pia xyz thank you 🙏🏻
You should look into names that have meanings:
Luca - bringer of light
Raine - like ‘rain’-bow
The IBD Vegan love it!
Iris is another version of Rainbow
Love those names!
When do they suggest you start to freeze your embryos? I'm 32, and I feel like i'm kind of doomed lol.
Kristina Taber you’re not doomed but of course the sooner the better!
@@AbbeysKitchen Thank you Abby. So excited for you. Congratulations. And I'll talk to my boyfriend about possibly going in to get tested. I had a miscarriage at 21, and i have never tried since! so I"m a little nervous!
I just turned 31 and I’m single and I want a baby more than anything on earth I wish I could afford to freeze my eggs until I meet the right person.
Ugh being a woman is so hard - men don’t have these worries
Early thirties is not a bad time! There is a DR on Instagram called Emily Schneider. She has a whole series on egg freezing.
Congratulations! Pregnancy is so hard, and not just the symptoms but because things can always be up in the air! I lost my first child (stillbirth), and my pregnancies following that one were so hard because I was an emotional wreck! I almost lost two of my children because the cord was wrapped around their necks during delivery. I will pray that you, and your baby are safe during the remainder of your pregnancy. And a safe delivery as well! I'm so happy for you!
Monique Shorten oh you poor mama! How heart breaking !! ❤️
Congrats! I've been considering becoming an egg donor, so hearing fertility journeys like yours is really encouraging for me :) I am excited about the prospect of helping a family have a baby in their own way!
Elysa Elmore oh that’s would help sooooo many!!
My heart broke for you, I know how scared you can be after loosing a baby, to be pregnant again. I am so unbelievably happy for you! Thank you so much for sharing your story, you never know how common infertility is because it isn’t talked about.
Pamela Kramer totally!!
Congratulations! You had me in tears, but I'm so happy you made it to the other side of the rainbow with this pregnancy! I wish you all the best in the upcoming months ♡♡♡♡♡
Amelia Wieger thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you for talking about this, I had a miscarriage in November, and it has been very hard for my fiancé and I as many people don’t understand the loss. Congratulations on your pregnancy❤️. Everything happens for a reason, and good things always come in the end❤️
Jessica Main thank you
I too had two consecutive miscarriages, one in September 2018 and the second in January 2019. I welcomed my little rainbow in December and am snuggling him this very moment! Thank you for being so strong and sharing your journey with us. Congratulations and best of luck to you 💗
Katherine Selkirk so hard!! So glad you’re cuddling
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I had 3 early misscarriages in the last 18 months. I am still struggling but I feel, it is so important that we talk about this topic. It gives me the feeling not to be all alone.
I love your Videos!
And Also I would love to hear about this "protocoll" you went thought to get pregnant.
I am so sorry for your loses. TTC is hard, its even harder when you lose that beautiful blessing it took you so long to make. You're so strong. Thank you for sharing your story. May all of us pregnant mothers have a safe and healthy pregnancy/baby :)
Honest Plant Mama yes!!!
Dear Abbey❤ That's been a hard year for you... I think it's so brave to tell the world about this, when it's THAT painful of a story - and like you said, you do it to break down the stigma around infertility. It definately brought tears to my eyes a couple of times. So I am SO HAPPY for you that you are pregnant now, and that it's going well!💞 I wish you and your little 🌈 all the best!!!
Cecilie Rebbelstam Kjær thank you 🙏🏻
You are exceptionaly strong. I would've quit long time ago. Your babies are fortunate to have a strong mother that fought so hard to have them.
I will pray for a healthy pregnancy, safe delivery and a healthy baby. Hugs.
I cried a lot of the way through this. I have had issues with stuff as well and it really hit close to home. I’m sending you all my love and strength. This pregnancy will be awesome and you will be a great mom of two. ❤️
ChandaurRoshini I’m sorry for your struggle!! Thanks for the kind words and good luck to you too
Just sitting here watching this in my first trimester and bawling my eyes out. So so thrilled for you that you got your rainbow baby. 🌈❤️❤️
Thank you for being so open and vulnerable and sharing your story ❤️
And a huge congratulations to your family on the new baby
lsp94 thank you!!
Yay!!! Congratulations!!!! Also thank you for being so open with your story. Having miscarried 2x and having spent the 1st trimester on modified bed rest two separate times, it’s so hard. Thank you again and all the best to you and your family! 🥳
Anna Schroeder gosh sooo hard
Just seen this so sorry to hear about your struggles. Between my first and second I had 5 miscarriages and an ectopic, our rainbow is now 2.5 and my sunshine baby is 8. The loses hurt so badly, but when you hold your rainbow baby it will ease it just a little. Secondary infertility is so little talked about, and is so very real. When there's no explanation for the loses its horrible too as your mind goes into overdrive. Try to enjoy your pregnancy, don't let the past make you stress the whole time like I did, as you'll wish you'd relaxed and enjoyed it better once they are here x
Oh and my two boys are Seth and Caige, I also loved Kellin and Colby :)
Thank you for sharing your journey and congratulations to your wonderful self and family on the little baby that will bless your life. I’m not a mom, but I do see a lot of youtubers talk about their fertility problems who feels alone, I’m sure this topic is so so hard to talk about yourself but you’re so brave for sharing it, it’s something close to your heart and it’s though. I wish the best for you and your family, the baby and your son ❤️
Positivities and good vibes thank you
This is so beautifully raw and honest. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy and a blessed 2020 x
Izzy Wignall 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Congratulations Abbey! I’m so happy for you, wishing you love, happiness and a healthy future ❤️
Ryan Luttman thank you!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I am so so happy for you, and so grateful that you chose to share your story. I am sorry you had to go through all of this, but sharing helps so many understand they are not alone. You are a trooper, and I am so glad you got your double rainbow
ctecte43 thank you 🙏🏻
Hi Abbey! First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!! I am so sorry to hear how much you struggled with growing your family, but this is great news! I too, am in my second trimester due only one day before you, August 22nd (YAY!) and my story is quite different from yours.
I was diagnosed at 18 with endometriosis and was told then by my OB-GYN "If you ever want to have kids, you'd better start trying now because your chances will be slim." Can you imagine being 18, single, not stable enough to support a child, let alone mentally ready, hearing that you'd better try soon? The amount of psychological damage that statement caused is crazy. I didn't realize it until my husband pointed out how harmful that statement was. For 8 years, I obsessed over whether or not I'd ever be able to carry my own children. So we got married, tried twice right away, and boom, PREGNANT! This just goes to show there is always hope. Even more so with your miracle rainbow baby!
Congratulations again love!
Wishing you joy and peace as you experience your rainbow baby pregnancy 💜 Miscarriage and fertility issues aren't talked about enough and so many of us suffer in silence. I am so very happy for you!
Stacey Owens thank you
Congratulations! Thank you for talking about this. I actually get pregnant every time I try, but had three early losses. I try to talk about this so that other women don't feel so alone. It is amazing how many people have problems with fertility once you open up about this.
PS. I have two girls now :)
absolutely, and amazing! so sorry for yoru loss but so happy for your rainbows
The happiness on your face when you said you were pregnant just overfills my heart with love 🥺🥰
I love you, Abbey. You are incredibly resilient. My heart hurts for your losses and smiles for your rainbow. You were never a failure and never could be. Congratulations mama
