Rainbow Baby 🌈 at 35

Posting this as I want to share the great news with someone...

I recently found out that I am pregnant with baby #3, after 12 years! My oldest is 16 and my youngest is 12. I'm hoping this works out as I unfortunately had a silent miscarriage in October.

I had switched my birth control back in July of 2024 and ended up pregnant! It was totally unexpected and I was super duper excited and almost immediately told my family and friends. I took my prenatal vitamins and did everything I could to ensure a healthy pregnancy. Sadly I noticed some spotting, light pink at first for a few days, I thought nothing of it and tried to brush it off. At the 3rd day of having some light bleeding, I decided to go to the emergency room, sadly after an ultrasound and some blood tests I was given the sad news that I had suffered a silent miscarriage. I should have been about 12 weeks along but my baby only measured 9 weeks and there's was no heartbeat. My world shattered. The healing process was difficult due to some complications and it felt as if I was in and out of the hospital. After telling my friends and family and having to tell them that I sadly had a miscarriage was just so difficult and heartbreaking. I felt so alone, although I know my partner too felt the loss. I felt so much anger and sadness, but time does heal all things, and to those that have gone through what I have, I'm so sorry. Please know that you will heal, your cries and feelings are valid but time heals. Be patient, be kind to yourself.

With what I did share, I have felt the need to keep this news to myself, to protect my feelings and my heart. I feel happy, yes but so scared. I want to share the good news but maybe until I've progressed enough through my pregnancy with this baby. For now, my partner, my only sister and best friend know. I intend to keep it that way, maybe even past the safe point. Praying for a healthy pregnancy, and to those trying for your rainbow baby, or just trying! I send lots of love and baby dust your way 🌈💙

Forgot to say, I'm 6 weeks currently,
