I’m hoping anyone can give me some encouragement or help heal my mama heart.

I got pregnant and had a missed miscarriage march, 2017. I️t was due to Turner syndrome and we had an MVA. We were around 12 weeks. Though devastated, we tried again after 1 period and we had a chemical pregnancy on Mother’s Day, 2017. At that point my heart was so broken i didn’t even know heart ache could be so deep! I had lots of tests done and everything was normal minus a tiny fibroid.

We got pregnant again in June/July and after lots of scans, NIPT, spine test everything came back normal - a healthy baby girl! I finally started to relax at 19ish weeks when I️ started feeling her sweet kicks. Silly me, I️ thought our bad luck streak was over. That we were finally catching a break. At my 20 week anatomy scan, my world came crashing down when we found out our baby is missing her left arm below her elbow. This was caused by a vascular insult probably sometime between 4-8 weeks when the hands form. Thankfully everything else looks okay, but my heart is so broken. I am now 26 weeks and things are moving along, however I am having such a hard time with this information. I canceled my baby shower bc I️ don’t want to be overly emotional and I️ want a low key rest of pregnancy. I am just so so, so sad for her and any challenges she may face.

Can anyone share any positive stories? Anyone experience anything similar?
