We wasn’t trying to have a second kid but one day I woke up feeling nauseous and was 4 days late so I was thinking “let’s just test to see” sure enough two pink lines showed up fast, my heart was overwhelmed with excitement we did a whole big Easter announcement for him.. as the months got closer I was constantly sick…
We went in for our last appointment to see how far dilated I was and when the doctor started to feel if he was head down, the doctors face just drained of color “when was the last time you felt baby kick?” I told him all the time as I felt a bubble in my ribs (thinking it was his feet). We then when to the ultrasound room and sure enough there was no heartbeat.
We found out we lost him the day before thanksgiving 2023 so I was asked to deliver that day and I said no, he will come home with me for thanksgiving and we will deliver him the day after.
His due day was my wedding anniversary 12/4/23

I went to the doctor looking for answers, but I kept hearing the same thing. Everything looks normal. Sometimes this just happens. Just keep trying. I never accepted that, because deep down it never felt right. Loss changes you. There is no way around it. When you lose a pregnancy, you don’t just lose a moment in time. You lose the dreams you had already started building. You imagine birthdays that will never happen, tiny hands you never got to hold, and a future that suddenly disappears.
