Rainbow baby after TFMR
My baby is almost 8 months old now, which still feels like a total miracle. I don’t ever want to take this for granted.
My first wanted pregnancy ended in a TFMR at 23 weeks for Monosomy X with abnormalities incompatible with life. Just two months later, I got pregnant again and 9 months later, welcomed our rainbow baby, who is currently contact napping in my arms. We met our rainbow baby not even a year from when we had to say goodbye to her big sister. We cannot believe how lucky we are, everyday, to watch her grow, hear her laugh, and hold her close.
Pregnancy is the toughest journey I’ve ever been on, especially after loss. For all of you on this journey right now, my heart goes out to you. I truly don’t think there are people out there stronger than parents who have had to say goodbye to a child and have the courage and resilience to try, again and again. I hope my story gives you hope and I hope you have your rainbow baby in your arms one day soon too!
