3 miscarriages then a healthy pregnancy and baby - my fertility story

Those of you who've known me for a while already know my fertility story, but those of you who have only recently met me might be wondering why I share what I do on fertility and loss.

So today I want to share our story over the last two years (actually I go all the way back to before we had our first son), how we've survived three losses in 12 months, what I've done to heal and what I think helped me get to where I am today - carrying a healthy 26 week baby boy.

Thanks for listening to my story. I'd love to hear yours too if you're willing to share it in the comments below. x

Thanks for sharing your story. I have had 2 miscarriages and a possible chemical pregnancy the past 10 months. The hardest part is all of your friends and family getting pregnant at the same time and none of them have had to deal with a miscarriage before (which I am thankful for) but it hurts and makes you feel like you did something wrong. And even when the time comes when you don’t miscarry, you don’t know when you can be excited and tell friends and family because you never know if you will end up losing it after all. I love your positive outlook, it brings me hope.

I appreciated this video so much. I had three normal pregnancies and healthy babies followed by three devastating losses. I lost my son at 16 weeks, then my daughter at 14 weeks, then my other son at 14 weeks. I did deliver all three, but I also had to have surgery after each one because my placenta wasn’t coming out. It was crushing physically, spiritually, emotionally. Truly. We planned to be done, and here we are almost two years later deciding to try again. I actually just found out I was pregnant today. My body and mind went through so much, but I truly am in such a better place now. I’m choosing to be positive and daily praying for this sweet baby. I love it how you said you have to come to a point where the possibility of loss is worth the risk. That’s exactly where we got to. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤

I lost my sweet baby boy at 17 weeks last September. Then lost two around 6 weeks this spring. It’s been 7 months now and I’m ready for my rainbow. I really resonate with your story. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for reminding me about this video in your email today. After 2 years of miscarriages and not treating myself correctly I then gave myself a break like you and did all of the things to heal. I then fell pregnant with my angel baby, I birthed him at 24 weeks. I just had 3 months off ttc after him, tried, fell pregnant this cycle and I’m having another chemical now. This reminded me that I needed more time after him. So here I am having another break. And the break is so hard. I miss my boy so much 🥺

Bettina your yoga videos are my saving grace. I had three miscarriages in less than a year and it’s been 10 months since the last, and I’m struggling with getting my head right to try again. I’ve worked on my physical health, but find the mental work far more difficult. Most days I’m okay but there are those triggers, like someone getting pregnant, that send me into a tailspin. I’m turning to your videos, mantras and visualizations to push me through my darkest days. Thank you, truly. I’m so sorry for your losses, and I agree I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy either.

I just had an ultrasound today and have a blighted ovum. That's my 3rd miscarriage in less than a year. I'm devastated. Thanks for your video - it gives me hope. Pray for me.

Just had my third miscarriage and I couldn't find comfort anywhere but your video did give me a hope and some comfort. I am in a very dark place at the moment but this given me a bit of light. Thank you

Just experienced my second chemical pregnancy in a row (literally june & july). It sucks so bad when you want something, have it and then lose it. I love success stories like yours, because I remember to have hope. I'm so happy for you !! Wishing everyone the best of luck <3

[brittaparsons]

Thank you so much for sharing your story. So brave. I also have gone through 3 pregnancy losses in the last 1.5 years and it is devastating. It changes everything. Trying to come "back" from it seems impossible at times. As you said, i would never want anyone to have to experience that type of pain. I am also so thankful you were willing to share your story as it can give hope and remind us we are not alone. Thank you

[mediumemary]

i actually cried in the end, congrats ♡ ive gone there a loss a year ago. i have already one healthy girl from my first pregnancy. but i am in that place now looking for that validation. thank you

[duckie]

I found myself nodding along when you described the emotional state you were in during your losses. I've know exactly how you feel. Thank you for sharing. I am trying to change my mindset now to be hopeful

[mariyakohchieva]

I just had my third misscarriage. Thank you for your video. You really understand it and the advise is so valuable and pure.

I got married at 28. And here it's quite old. And I had two miscarriages. Now every month when I have my periods, even though I try to not think, it's hard to keep on being positive. So I am here ☺️

[nicolapelaez]

Thank you so much for sharing. I had my third loss in May this year. I had spotting, had an emergency scan where we saw a heartbeat and was told “it’s a strong heartbeat everything is good” and miscarried the next day. I’m positive about the next pregnancy but stressed as we’re moving house soon. I found you by pure accident, at the perfect time. I do have a little boy already, his name is Luca.

So sorry to hear of your losses but I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel. I lost my first (and only) child Sept '19, a stillborn daughter at 36 weeks (medical negligence), we have been trying to conceive since then with zero success. All my tests have come back normal but I do think there are some strong emotional blockers there perhaps and definitely stress. I look forward to giving some of your videos a go, what can you recommend for a beginner yogi?

I've had three miscarriages and it's been extremely hard for me to get pregnant again but watching this video gave me hope

[sweetsar]

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm currently going through my third miscarriage. This video has helped give me hope.

[jenniferlangford]

Thank you for so bravely sharing your story so that others don't feel so alone. This has helped me immensely as I am in the middle of my second miscarriage in 6 months. Hearing about your experiences has helped me realise I am probably harbouring more stress and anxiety than I thought, and I'll start taking steps to reduce that. So thank you for the support - I look forward to exploring more of your content!
