Rainbow Baby- Trigger warning

I just wanted to share my experience in case you’ve been there or want a support buddy!

My first born is almost 18 months. I had an unplanned pregnancy in January that resulted in a miscarriage and emergent D & C. My husband and I decided to start trying again in August, and to my surprise, we were pregnant by September!

In early October, I had bleeding again, and we found out we had a chemical pregnancy. The OB won’t count that one as a pregnancy, but my heart does.

We decided to stop trying and just enjoy our first born, and we would start again in January. To our surprise, we found out we were expecting again in November. I was very hesitant when we found out- I was worried I would be excited and disappointed again. If you’ve been through it, I’m certain you can relate!

I had my dating scan yesterday, and baby is measuring 8 weeks & 5 days (matches up with what we thought!) although there’s still less than 5% chance of miscarriage at this point, we are so excited. We haven’t announced yet, but hopefully we will feel ready at some point! Our faith in God has definitely eased our minds in each of these situations.

Just know, I read a lot of these posts- the scary ones where everyone worries, the happy ones and sad ones- and I pray for you all! Whether it be for strength or a health baby or healing. We’re all in this together! Wishing a healthy pregnancy to you all 😘
