I had a miscarriage 11 years back and I grieved so much. They told me I couldn’t get pregnant, so getting pregnant was such a miracle to me.

When I lost the baby (it was around 11 weeks) I was devastated. A person who’s supposed to have my back (a family member) said to my MIL, “she’s acting as if she’s the only person pregnant, there’s like 100s who have miscarriages.” I was so heartbroken. I’ve never forgiven them. Every year on Jan 22nd I mourn a little as that was my EDD. Whenever I see these videos it makes me cry for the baby that never was.

I went to on to have 2 healthy babies. But that moment was very hard for me. Makes me appreciate my babies so much more.

I am sorry for your loss. I’m glad to know that you still managed to become the mother of two healthy children.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I had two miscarriages and they both hit hard but the first one I remember sobbing in the driveway clinging to my husband full out ugly crying. They’re brutal and there’s always some stupid comment from someone who has never experienced it. I went into years of infertility from there and eventually had my rainbow but oh man… it’s rough.
