Barron and I lost our baby. I unexpectedly miscarried at 13 weeks 4 days and had a “silent” miscarriage where the baby had not lived much beyond week 8 but the placenta continued releasing hormones to signal my body that I was still pregnant. Women so rarely discuss miscarriage and now I know why. The physical, bloody, painful, traumatizing process is awful… but it ends. The feelings of shame, failure, confusion, devastation, guilt and grief take longer to go away. It’s very hard to talk about and it’s very hard to admit that it happened even to myself. We didn’t think this would be part of our story but here we are. I shared the long, long story short on YouTube if you care to know what happened and how. We are doing well and are excited to move forward and try again soon. I’m grateful, so deeply grateful, for my amazing life partner who held me through every moment of the 2 week physical process, and feel so lucky to have such a wholesome community of Colorado women who rallied around me in support, bringing me food, supplies, and comfort. Feeling good and feeling mostly whole. Thanks for your love and support. •this pic is old #miscarriage #silentmiscarriage #missedmiscarriage #pregnancyloss
