Two children. Four pregnancies.
This week, we’ve been celebrating my daughter — who often calls herself a double rainbow baby. 🌈🌈 And she’s right. I know how deeply fortunate I am to have her, especially as we honor Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month this October — a time that brings light to an experience that is often so lonely and quiet.
I had no idea how common miscarriage was until I experienced it myself. I also didn’t realize how much fear, anxiety, and hesitation could shadow a subsequent pregnancy — how it can steal the joy and celebration as you hold your breath, hoping this time will be different.
It’s hard. It’s lonely. There is grief that takes up space in ways words can’t fully hold.
If you’re in that space — please, reach out. Find your support, lean on those you trust, and let them walk beside you. And when joy begins to return, even in the smallest ways, let it in — it deserves to be part of your story, too. 💛
