Cecilia Robinson: The Loss You Didn't See #shorts

June 23, 202500:52
00:00:00
I couldn't stay pregnant and so like
00:00:02
that's quite traumatizing you know we
00:00:04
went for over 20 weeks with our first
00:00:05
baby that was still born and that was
00:00:07
really difficult right I think the
00:00:09
problematic thing was after that that
00:00:11
the clinicians or the doctors at that
00:00:13
point kind of said oh well look
00:00:14
lightning doesn't strike twice you
00:00:15
should just go again there's nothing
00:00:16
wrong with you and then we had a similar
00:00:18
experience the next year losing another
00:00:19
baby at 17 weeks and I lost the the
00:00:21
girls within a day of each other so the
00:00:23
year prior on like June 24th I'd found
00:00:25
out that we lost the baby and on June
00:00:27
23rd the next year I lost the second
00:00:28
baby and that was the emotionally,
00:00:30
physically, you know, for everyone it
00:00:32
was really hard, right? You know, 11
00:00:33
years ago, James gave me this gorgeous
00:00:35
little outfit for our baby girl that we
00:00:37
knew we were expecting and then, you
00:00:38
know, 8 weeks later we lost her. And so,
00:00:40
you just don't know what people's
00:00:41
journeys look like, right? You just have
00:00:43
no clue. And you can't assume just
00:00:44
because they kind of have everything
00:00:45
that they've ever wanted that they can't
00:00:46
empathize with you because in fact, many
00:00:48
people can, right?
