Back-to-Back Miscarriage

I’ve gone in circles on how I want to approach this post because this time, it hits differently, it feels different, and it looks different. But I’m speechless. I want to be as transparent as possible, but I am at a loss.

Experts say MOST women go on to have a healthy pregnancy after having a miscarriage. Some experts even say that getting pregnant within 6 months of miscarrying can have a better outcome.

ONE percent of women will have a repeated miscarriage. I am a part of the one percent. 2 miscarriages in 4 months.

All it took was seven days to rock my world… again.

I went to my midwife thinking I was having complications from my last miscarriage, and by surprise, I was blessed with the words, “Congratulations, you’re pregnant!” A few days later, I saw the pregnancy on the ultrasound screen. A few more days, I was left sitting on the toilet speechless, confused, and questioning why again.

I may never know the answer to why this happened to me again, but what I do know is this…

“God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ ‭NLT‬‬

AND

“God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I may still be learning my purpose in this big, big world and exploring what God’s plan is for me… BUT I know God has walked with me through not just one but two miscarriages so I can help the next momma know she is not alone!

As #pregnancyandinfantlossawareness month comes to an end, I want to remind everyone that, unfortunately, these occurrences are normal and that you are not alone.

We need to normalize the talk to stop suffering in silence and lean into our community.

My DMs are ALWAYS open if you need a friend, community, or just a spot to dump emotionally. I created this platform so people know that regardless of how dark the dark gets or how low the low gets. WE will work to find your light again.
