Thank you for this post. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. As someone who has lost 5 pregnancies in 3 years, this resonated so deeply. I too have spent weeks in bed with the blinds pulled. I'm currently 6w4d pregnant with an IVF baby, saw the heartbeat today. Feeling hopeful seeing your story in my inbox today <3

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful journey and I am so sorry for the pain you’ve experienced. I share in your joy of looking at my darling son and being filled with immense love and gratitude for his little soul, after years of being endlessly desperate to have a child, and even the moments after he’s thrown his $10 snacks on the floor. You’re a wonderful momma and your family is so very lucky to have your strength 🤍

I just stumbled across this post and it means so much more than you know. I flew through my first pregnancy without complications (if only I’d known what a miracle this was!), and now since we’ve started trying for a second, am looking down a long and painful path brought on by secondary infertility. Thank you for sharing 💛

Thank you so much for sharing. I am in the midst of a miscarriage with my first, and I’m devastated. I found so much comfort in your words. The first true comfort I have found outside of my apartment with my husband during this heartbreaking time. Wishing you and your beautiful family the best ♥️
