I am currently 21 weeks pregnant with my triple rainbow IVF baby. My husband and I got married in 2019 and found out we were pregnant in April 2020 when the Covid shut down just started. I had to do appointments alone, a drive by baby shower and no one could come visit him in the hospital when he was born in December.
When my son turned 2 we started talking about growing our family. I finally got pregnant in January 2024 but had a 6 week miscarriage after seeing the heartbeat. Then lost my mother in law suddenly in June. We then began IVF and had another loss in December 2024, then naturally got pregnant in January 2025, but lost at 6 weeks again.
We took time to heal, emotionally and physically, and did a transfer in July 2025 that has given us a growing baby girl due in April. I never thought this would be our story, but I am amazed daily by my own strength in moving forward and talking about my babies even if it makes others uncomfortable. Their stories deserve to be shared so I absolutely love the rainbow project and showing others they are not alone especially when those closest to us don’t always understand.
It was so nerve-wracking thinking about trying again after a loss since I was so scared it would happen again. I think taking the time to process my emotions and to heal as much as possible made a difference. Also being able to recognize that fear and hope can co-exist at the same time. Every day, even now at 32 weeks, has its highs and lows, but I remind myself that today, I am pregnant and doing all I can to support her.
