I couldn't stay pregnant and so like that's quite traumatizing you know we
00:00:04
went for over 20 weeks with our first baby that was still born and that was really difficult right I think the
00:00:09
problematic thing was after that that the clinicians or the doctors at that point kind of said oh well look
00:00:14
lightning doesn't strike twice you should just go again there's nothing wrong with you and then we had a similar
00:00:18
experience the next year losing another baby at 17 weeks and I lost the the girls within a day of each other so the
00:00:23
year prior on like June 24th I'd found out that we lost the baby and on June
00:00:27
23rd the next year I lost the second baby and that was the emotionally, physically, you know, for everyone it
00:00:32
was really hard, right? You know, 11 years ago, James gave me this gorgeous little outfit for our baby girl that we
00:00:37
knew we were expecting and then, you know, 8 weeks later we lost her. And so, you just don't know what people's
00:00:41
journeys look like, right? You just have no clue. And you can't assume just because they kind of have everything
00:00:45
that they've ever wanted that they can't empathize with you because in fact, many
00:00:48
people can, right?
