    This video made me cry. Thank you for being so open and honest. I agree we should share, it’s part of the grieving process I believe.

      Those words mean so much, its definitely difficult to share sometimes but so is pretending to be okay because people don't know!!! And I hope one day it is more common to speak of and less shame associated!!!! Thanks for watching and for your words!!

    I am so sorry to hear that. I have experienced 2 miscarriages, both have definitely been hard, but one of them was further along (12wks)and still I struggle with it everyday. But I do have 2 beautiful girls, and I hope that you have another successful pregnancy. I have a physical job and my personality is just a very open one, so I have also always told people when I was pregnant, which also means the hard part of having to explain to everyone about the loss. So I can understand how hard it was for you. It's not easy, I know you never move on, the grieving is real and not to be belittled. Take the time to grieve and recover. All the best xxx

      Thank you so much, this one is definitely hitting different than my previous. However I am beyond grateful that we have our daughter and she motivates me to push thru as I heal and be the best for her and appreciate each moment. Thanks for watching and your amazing words!!!

    So sorry for your loss, Leslie! It is truly heartbreaking and something you can’t really understand unless you’ve been through it ❤️ Sending love to your family and so hope your rainbow baby comes to you in perfect timing.
    I lost my second daughter at 18 weeks and I didn’t think I’d be able to recover. Miscarriage isn’t only losing a baby but it’s losing every plan, every hope and dream you had for that baby, for it’s future and for your family. After I delivered her I got pregnant with my son 2 months later. He will be 4 in September. Time makes it easier but you’ll never forget them ❤️❤️ Thanks for opening up your heart to us.

      Oh Tori, my heart breaks for what you have been through as well!!! And that's exactly it, so much more us lost and the grief can be unbearable. It does help teach us to be grateful for what we have even though we will always carry them with us. There are so many people who have endured this and I hope this gives us all some support and love. Thank you for sharing your journey and supporting mine!!!! Sending you hugs!!!

    Miscarriages are hard. I'm a tell the world as soon as I see the line person (except at work) so it was hard when I lost my baby and had to have those conversations.
    My theory is I will celebrate every day I'm pregnant whether I'm pregnant for 2 weeks or 9 months. I don't believe in having to wait 12 weeks but that is just me.

      I agree, to me it's such an awful thing we are teaching women and families and until experiencing it I didn't realize how damaging that way of thinking I'd. I hope that sharing this may help shift the thought process even a tiny bit and we can share our experiences no matter what they might be. It's difficult either way and I'd rather do difficult with my loved ones lifting us up. I am sorry to hear you also know this all too well!!!! Thank you for sharing and supporting:)

      @@LeslieThruTheLookingGlass I think it's a defense mechanism for most people because it is hard having to tell people who ask about the pregnancy months down the line that you lost the babyca while back, but I'd still rather know that I celebrated the life inside of me for however long I could than to lose the baby without ever truly celebrating having a baby.
      I do, however, unfortunately believe in not sharing with work until you have to. It's so sad and unfortunate, but most work places, even in 2021, still see being a mom as a burden. I did have to share my last loss with my immediate supervisors because I required surgery, but had it just happened naturally they would have never known.

    I'm sorry you and your family have had to go through this again. This is something that should be talked about more and it was very brave of you to share! I hope you are all feeling better each day!
