In February we had an ectopic pregnancy and August we had a miscarriage.
We were so excited both times about our little family growing and we were both heartbroken when we lost our littles.
The only way to help bring awareness to the loss of an infant or the loss of a pregnancy is to talk about it.
So this is me talking…
I am 1 in 3 of women who experience endometriosis
I am 1 out of 50 who experience an ectopic pregnancy
I am 1 out of 4 pregnancies that lead to miscarriages
💙👼💜
Support is very beneficial through any loss and this year though it has been difficult for our household I am so grateful for the supports I have had. Without them I would be at a complete loss, so thank you.
Thank you Kathleen for sharing your story with us 💜
