Staying strong

Desiree

So I’m 40 and was pregnant with my 2nd child but it’s been confirmed that I have suffered a loss at 7 weeks. I do not want to discourage anyone and although I’m older, I actually want people to understand that it is possible to get pregnant easily at my age. In my second month of trying I was successfully pregnant. Unfortunately, I was too excited to try to get pregnant that I didn’t prepare well by making sure that my thyroid levels were stable (I had a thyroidectomy years ago) after having my first child in 2020, therefore it wasn’t until I was already pregnant that I discovered that my levels were not in a healthy range and it was too late. I believe this was the cause of my loss. I’m going to heal my body and stay positive. I’m strong and know I can get through this. I don’t have an understanding husband and he doesn’t get the physical pain or emotional pain of a miscarriage so I feel alone. But I am blessed with a beautiful 19 month old daughter who is everything to me. Looking at her helps me appreciate all that I have to be thankful for. Thanks for listening and to anyone else going through the same thing, stay strong! We will heal
