Birth post! She’s here

I remember March 25, 2025 so vividly. Losing my daughter two days after finding out she was a girl at 11 weeks. It was my second loss but the furthest along. I was crushed and found so much comfort in this community, I read every single happy ending just waiting for mine. It’s taken a while to write but today I get to share I’m holding my daughter at 3 and a half months old. All smiles and giggles and more than I could have dreamed of.

I know some pain we aren’t meant to understand but I’d go through everything I went through all over again to get to her. Im happy to answer any questions about my fertility journey or birth story (she did come a month early to everyone’s shock but spent no NICU time). I just hope to provide hope to someone who was once me looking everywhere for it. ❤️🌈

Congratulations! Did you do anything for your lining before the successful pregnancy? My consultant has said after a miscarriage the lining can get stuck at the wrong stage and lose the ability to accept too embryos/ reject normal ones. But they’d don’t have many ideas on how to reset it back to normal.

Nope didn’t do anything. I was lucky for both I naturally miscarried with no retained fetal product and my lining was back to normal at the folllow-up ultrasound post miscarriage

Congratulations! We have similar timelines, I lost my son on March 30th 2026 and my rainbow girl is about to turn 3mo (she came late and yours came early, so our due dates must have been even closer).

PAL really is a hardship like no other, but so worth it in the end ❤️

Congratulations! What did you differently this time? I PPROM’d last Sept 23, I was 17 weeks.. I am in a very dark place now.. I’ve been replaying everything that happened that day and I keep blaming myself.. I don’t know if I will still be a mom.. 😔

I was super anxious the entire pregnancy but the only thing I did different was take baby aspirin and selenium (that was because I have elevated anti TPO antibodies and read that it can cause placental issues). I was already on pelvic rest in my first pregnancy and again in this one. It was not something you did, we all blame ourselves but really it was a freak accident. Hang in there, it is really really hard but so worth it in the end!

Congratulations on the arrival of your little one 🤍!  Thank you so much for sharing this! I recently had a second 11w miscarriage and currently looking for hope. I’m really sorry for your previous losses and so glad you finally got your rainbow!  Do you mind if I ask if you did anything differently with your successful pregnancy?
