@gracebeverley A year ago today we lost our first pregnancy at the end of the first trimester. I was inconsolable on the sofa and I looked out the window and saw a rainbow, and now I’m sitting here with our seven week old rainbow baby feeling like the luckiest girl in the world. The grief doesn’t go away, I still couldn’t help but have a little cry today, but I feel so fortunate that our journey to parenthood continued so soon after our loss. Thinking of all the mummies and daddies that have been through this and more on this baby loss awareness month. Once it’s happened to you, you somehow convince yourself that the one data point you have is going to be the same every time, that it’s just not going to happen for you. I spent every single second of the last year thinking something else was going to stop this dream becoming a reality, and so I feel extra lucky to be here now. The past doesn’t dictate the future! Sending all the healthy baby dust to those who need it 🤍🤍🤍
