We are Mothers - Pregnancy & Infant Loss (a day late)

Chloe • 🌈Stetson Titus born 5/4/16. 3 in my heart, 1 in my arms.

Her name is Kara, and we've been BFFs for nearly two year now. We met in a support group for pregnancy and infant loss after I had my twins.

Kara has lost six little ones to miscarriage and stillbirth. Her first loss was at 22+3 weeks on 6/23/11. His name was Cody Nolan. Her second was on 1/14/12 at 18+4 weeks. Her name was Ashlyn Genevieve. Her third was on 10/27/12 at 24+4 weeks. Her name was Eden Willow. Her fourth loss was on 3/17/14 at 12+6 weeks. His name was Jude Bennett. Her fifth was on 12/9/14 at 21+2 weeks. Her name was Scarlett Honor. Her sixth and hopefully last loss was on 5/22/15 at 8+1. He was given the name Henry Noah.

She had pathology testing on all six. They cannot find a reason why she has lost child after child. They called her pregnancies "flukes."

She plans on trying one last time, using <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> to get the healthiest of embryos, before they start the adoption process.

I lost my daughter Faith at 9+4 weeks on 2/17/09, and my twins Aubrey and Carson at 17+5 on 12/4/13. I am currently 10 weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby.

Pregnancy and infant loss is something that no woman, or man, should have to go through. I have felt the horrid, empty feeling of my child being torn from my womb too soon. I have felt the pain and sorrow of delivering my son and daughter still. I don't know why. Kara doesn't know why. I hated when people told me things like "these things happen" or "you're young, you can have another" or when doctors or anyone in general calls my child a "fluke."

The feeling of losing your child is something no other woman should have to relate to. Ladies, I AM SO GENUINELY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSSES. I HOPE WE ALL CAN GET OUR RAINBOWS🌈, BUT LET'S PLEASE NEVER FORGET WHAT WE LOST.

WE ARE MOTHERS REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOUR KIDS ARE.

I AM A MOTHER.

Wow that got a tad lengthy!
