TTC after a miscarriage and a stillbirth

Whitney

November 17, 2018. The day I had my first miscarriage. You don't think it will happen to you (at least I didnt) I had two little girls and we were trying for our boy. My body felt off from the moment I found out I was pregnant. But I just chalked it up to being older this time around. It was an ectopic pregnancy. January 2019, we found out we were pregnant again. I was going to have my rainbow baby. Everything was perfect. I exercised, was sick as a dog, I was moody, but overjoyed. We made it through the first trimester, I had the biggest sigh of relief. 18 weeks came around and I started feeling off. Something wasnt right. But still you were fine. 19 weeks I have a horrible sharp pain out of nowhere but it passes as quickly as it comes. 20 weeks we made it to the halfway point. I cant wait to find out if what you will be. May 8, 2019, 20+4 I wake up realizing I hadnt felt you move in a while and my body was hurting bad like labor pains. My first thought was man it must be my cycle week (I cramp every time my cycle would have be ) So I check my calendar and it was the week prior and I hadnt felt a single pain. In that moment I knew I was in early stages of labor. Less than an hour later my water breaks, 45 mins later you were born. I thought my world would end that day. But I knew God had a greater plan for you. Feb 8, 2020, we are ready and praying for our rainbow baby. Knowing it will never replace our baby boy for he is engrained in the very fibers of my being. But that we have enough room in our hearts to welcome and love another baby should we be granted that blessing.
