Pregnancy After Heartbreak

In 2015, my husband and I started our journey to expand our family. Little did we know we would be entering one of the roughest years of our lives thus far. After being married for six months and dating for over 8 we were ready to expand our family and have a child.

At 14 weeks were given some of the most discouraging news. We had a possibility of trisomy 13 in the baby we had just conceived. After much thinking, talking, researching, doctors appointments, and testing we had come to the conclusion that we would make the most heartbreaking decision of our life. At 15 weeks and 6 days we traveled to a neighboring city to terminate the pregnancy of our baby who was diagnosed with trisomy 13.

In order to cope with the emotions and healing I wrote a blog called  http://lifeonerepatatime.blogspot.com/  This blog helped my husband and I be able to heal from the events of our life.

This blog is specifically documenting my emotions, timeline of events, and everything else surrounding being pregnant after terminating my first pregnancy.
