I just thought I would share some of my photos with you.

It’s very difficult to be excited about a pregnancy when you’ve had a or multiple miscarriages.

Since 2016, we endured three and lost four babies. When I found out I was pregnant with my son, I hardly told anyone until a week before he was due. I released photos daily on my blog and when I was about to announce that we were pregnant and he would arrive soon, he decided he was on his way.

The journey through the forest symbolises the long, hard road we traveled to be able to finally get the child we have always dreamed of and how finally it felt we were stepping back into the light. Our lost children are symbolised in the feathers and balloons. The venue is a venue we discovered whilst driving around aimlessly after being told we would loose our twins. I believe that everything we have been through has made us who we are today and hopefully make us better parents.

I wanted my son to know that miscarriages do happen, they are common and that him and his partner have every right to their emotions should it happen to them.

I was caught totally unaware by our first miscarriage and it was a really hopeless point in our lives, with few people actually understanding or trying to understand what we were going through.

I made a photo album afterwards for our parents of our maternity photos and his newborn pics and used the lyrics of “Somewhere over the rainbow” because he’s our Hope, the light in our lives and the colour in our world again after all the pain, hurt and anguish of the last few years.
