Pregnancy After Multiple Losses

We decided to start a family in 2000. Within 3 months I was pregnant and 9 months later we welcomed our daughter into our lives. 7 months later, I fell pregnant unexpectedly and found out on Christmas Eve that I'd miscarried.

Rainbow After Multiple Miscarriages

I’d always been a perfectionist and a planner, and having a baby was no different. As a 27 year old with no chronic medical conditions, I thought conceiving and carrying a baby to term would be a walk in the park. However, this journey taught me that life is dynamic, and most importantly, unpredictable.

My Rainbow Baby

I’m sitting here writing this with my rainbow baby laying on my chest. To those of you currently pregnant after one or more losses, I bow down to you. It’s far from an easy path you’re embarking on. It's a complete and utter emotional rollercoaster.

I am 1 in 4 - The Journey to My Rainbow

They say 1 in 4 pregnancies will end in miscarriage. 1 in 4 took on a different meaning to me after my last loss – it meant only 1 in 4 of my pregnancies resulted in a baby in my arms to take home.

My Rainbow After Many Storms

In November 2015 we welcomed our first daughter into the world. She was a surprise pregnancy but welcomed none the less. When she was born we had it all planned out, we wanted an 18-month age gap between our children, so at nine months we would start trying.

This experience has taught me strength, and to trust that even though we may be experiencing one of the biggest storms of our lives, a rainbow is always around the corner.

Late miscarriage

When I was 16 weeks pregnant I could feel my babies tiny kicks from within. I woke up one morning in February 2018 and remember looking in the mirror and not feeling pregnant.

Krystal Stivactas - my story

We experienced 5 losses, 4 of which occurred within 1.5 years

Laura Waistell - my story

After losing 3 babies to early miscarriages, and each time realising just how taboo the subject was I went looking for others who had gone through similar experiences.

I found talking openly about it helped my mental health immensely. The other men and women I spoke to agreed we need to open up the conversation. I don’t think anyone should feel alone in this so I’d like to help if I can.

Libby Huth - my story

It’s surely one of the loneliest and bewildering experiences I’ve ever had.

Niti Nadarajah - my story

Having given birth to a little girl 9 years ago, I never imagined that the journey to give her a sibling would be one filled with grief, depression, and anxiety.

I'm now a Mum of three, this is my story.

2 years, 4 losses and a Rainbow

It’s wild to think that without all of our losses we wouldn’t have Chloe. She is exactly who we needed to create our little family.
