- About 10-15% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, but no one really talks about it. That's why we brought in our friend and fellow CZcamsr Whitney Adams to share her story of what she experienced when her pregnancy ended in miscarriage.

Thanks for watching!
I had 2 miscarriages after trying to conceive for 3 years. They were 6 months apart. I was devastated. I would cry myself to sleep for weeks. I felt like a faliure, and at the same time I knew I was not. The most difficult part is not having something tangable to remember them by. I feel like I'm the only one who knows they were here. I now have 3 beautiful children. To me I will always have 5. I never want to forget them, they are as much my babies as my 3 little ones who I got the blessing to keep. When people ask about my 3 babies I always want to say "no, I don't only have 3, i am the mother of 5 wonderful children" but just the thought of having to explain it all keeps me from doing it. I think of them every day, I never want to forget them. I love them as much as I love my little ones.
Karla Carrasco this is so sweet. I miscarried and I understand what you mean. It’s a very strange period to go through right after. The baby will always be one of my babies. I think talking about it, even if it’s just talking to others that have gone through it or close family is our way of making sure we keep that spirit alive.
When it first happened a few women reached out saying they had experienced one as well. I was so hesitant to talk too much to others who said they had gone through a miscarriage because I didn’t think they would want to talk about it or relive it. But I found out just the opposite, they absolutely wanted to talk about it. And I get that now. You don’t want to just pretend it didn’t happen. I think it’s our way of honoring and holding onto those babies. So glad you wrote.♥️
I know how you feel. I had a miscarriage my first pregnancy, and I am currently 4 months along and people ask me if this is my "first". My immediate reaction is to say, "no, this is my second, but the first didn't work out". I'm just hoping and praying that this one is successful!
I had a miscarriage at 9.5 weeks November 2017 and I am now 33 weeks pregnant. The miscarriage was the hardest thing my husband and I have been through, but it did bring us closer.
Thanks for sharing your story Whitney - unfortunately I am experiencing pretty much the same situation currently. I lost my identical twins 3 weeks ago. I too had no signs anything was wrong until I went for my first ultrasound. It's so truly heartbreaking. I have always said even as a kid that I wanted identical twin girls and to have that dream come true and then taken away in the next second is almost too much to bare! We had been trying 2 years before I got pregnant with them. I am beyond blessed to already have a 3 year old daughter but so want to give her the sibling she wants so badly. I'm so sorry for your losses and I hope that you get your rainbow baby soon.
Funnily enough the day before we found out we lost the twins we had a double rainbow appear outside our window. So now every time I see a rainbow I am reminded of our babies.
hannahT so sorry for your losses. I was having a miscarriage as well when I saw a rainbow I randomly saw as my screen saver (it changes periodically at my job without my control).
I had the same experience with my first pregnancy- found out I had miscarried at the first ultrasound and then miscarried naturally. I have two gorgeous daughters now so don’t give up hope :)
Please do an episode about ectopic pregnancy’s! It’s a less likely type of pregnancy loss and not many people know about it!
Thank you so much for doing this video. This one hits close to home, because I too experienced a pregnancy loss recently. It's a topic that should be discussed more, but it is definitely hard to talk about at the same time. Wishing Whitney, as well as all women that have experienced some form of pregnancy loss, all the best.
I had my first baby at 32 and started trying for the second one at 36. I had three pregnancies in a period of a year, two of which ended in miscarriage...I thank God for my baby boy who is nearly two months old. Blessing to Whitney...keep strong.
Commemorating is so important, and I’m so grateful you shared what you did to remember them.
Thanks for sharing your experience 🙏🏻✨❤️ To me it is so important that we talk about this subject more. I had two miscarriages last year (and one in 2010) and it was totally devastating. I can totally relate to this conversation. I also must say that I got little answers from my otherwise very caring and professional doctors. I had to read up for myself after the last surgery, because I was so desperate to know what happened and if there was anything that I could do. I read “it starts with the egg” amongst other books and changed radically my lifestyle. More yoga, no more alcohol, more sleep, supplements such as ubiquinol and 1000 mg of folate every day... and I must tell you... I am now happily 5 months pregnant with my first baby girl, at the age of 40! Such a process, not losing hope or trust and at the same time making peace with the idea that it might not happen... ❤️
So glad you featured Whitney on your channel. She's a rockstar and definitely belongs in this community.
So emotional! I have to say that you are SO strong to talk about it so openly and so quickly after it all happening. I had three miscarriages between my two kids and it was so devastating. I now have my two and I want more and I have to admit that it's scary to start trying again jusy because I know how painful the journey can be before you finally get a baby "out of it".
I will think of you and send good vibes and baby dust!
What a warrior! Thank you for sharing your story with such grace.
I can also relate with my first pregnancy. It was so heartbreaking and unreal returning home from the hospital. My husband and I felt like our home was empty, even though we were just pregnant for 11 weeks. Thank you for sharing your story. Miscarriage is a tough topic to talk about.
Thank you for sharing your story! I've been there, and it was very difficult to go from over-the-moon excited to completely devastated. I often wonder if it was a boy or girl or what they would have been like. It's something you can't ever really forget. Love this FAM channel for thinking of everything mom related. What a great channel and community.
I totally feel you. I also wonder if mine was a boy or a girl, and that regardless, this is something that I will never forget. Sorry for your loss
You should never feel self conscious about a miscarriages. They are so common and 1 out of 4 women have one. We need to talk about it more no matter our age. And I don’t understand the stigma.
Such a tough but important topic. So sad to hear your story. Wishing you all the best Whitney x
God bless you Whitney! I lift you up in healing prayers & hope! ❤
Thank you for sharing this video. I have had a miscarriage and stillbirth. The miscarriage ended just as fast as it began, but the stillbirth at 19 and half weeks still feels like a very bad dream
This was so helpful for me on one of the worst days of my life 😢 thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing your story, i wish you all the best, you are amazing for telling your experience.
I just want to tell you to hang in there, you will get your baby one day ❤️
I had a miscarriage in my first pregnancy too. I was 20 weeks pregnant and it came out off the blue. In fact five days before my miscarriage I had an appointment and every thing was fine but it was gods will.
Here I am a mother of a 3 months old baby and i couldn’t be happier
Wow. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, Whitney. Love and prayers to you and your husband ❤️
Mackenzie Cady thank so much! 😘
I had a miscarriage 6 months ago and exact same thing, no signs but there was no heartbeat. Happily now, we are pregnant with twins and so far, so good. Sending love to all those that went through this
Thank u #ForAllMoms this brings me to hard times in my life Its crazy cause I love ur channel and im not even a mom but u ladies are so relatable and u always have really great topics. but I think since I had a miscarriage I think I just feel like I can somewhat relate. Whitney ur are an amazing strong lady! Thank u for sharing and good luck in ur journey God bless u and ur husband.
Cynthia King thanks Cynthia! ❤️
8 weeks with twins and this is my biggest fear. Especially after my miscarriage earlier this year! It’s definitely not talked about enough and it’s so common.
Such a hard topic. thanks for opening up on it Whitney! I can’t imagine going through this without a support system. My mom had twins and they passed after 4 months after being born. (Medical reasons) but I still see mom have that hollow in her heart. she also had a miscarriage.
After being a mom myself I can’t imagine how hard it must to loose your baby. This channel brings all of us closer with our stories. #FAMFAN
kaur manpreet happy to open up the dialogue! Women sharing experiences and coming together is a powerful healing tool!
She got such a gratitude that I didn’t even think she miscarried her baby few months back! I thought it’s been a longer time!
I hope she gets a healthy little baby to warm her heart♥️
I had a missed miscarriage also at 10 weeks with my very first pregnancy at age 39, and found out at my first ultrasound. I opted for misoprostal and it was truly traumatic. I later developed a uterine infection. It was a good month of not even leaving the house. I had no idea how mentally, physically, and emotionally difficult it would be. Like Whitney, it took me a couple months to get my monthly cycle back. But the great news is that right after, I conceived! And now at 40, I'm 4 months along, and everything has progressed very well. Fingers crossed for a normal, healthy pregnancy. My anxiety is super high, but I'm going to be even more grateful for this child. The same thing happened to my sister and she conceived right away. Sometimes miscarriage is natures way of taking care of babies that were never meant to be because of a genetic abnormality.
Congratulations...I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts
@@poojasunil3708 thank you! I'm developing severe hypertention and they are worried about preeclampsia. I've already been hospitalized 2 times, so please keep sending me good vibes :)
The pain never goes away. Lost my first pregnacy a year ago. Now i'm 4 months pregnat. And every time go for an ultrasound and i feel my baby. I cant help but think in the one i lost. :(
This is such an hard topic, but it has to be talked about, miscarriage and pregnancy loss happens to so many of us, we need to be supportive and ready to listen to each other.
If anyone is having an hard time, I really feel your pain, I made a video on how I have been dealing with it, and also about pregnancy after a loss.
Sending strength and positivity out there.
I feel related to her I lost a baby like four years ago it was very sad for a long time I feel like something was wrong with me but thanks God a year later I was pregnant again and I have a handsome baby boy he is 2 years old now
I'd talk to your Dr next time to check your levels for a bit, I did that because it was a pregnancy after a miscarriage and Im so grateful we did because my progesterone had dropped low and I ended up needing to take some
I wish woman were more sensitive to woman who have had miscarriages whether they have gone through one or not. I had my first one on Easter, and this is a very isolated event to go through my body hasn't healed fully and its months later, we just need to be more supportive with each other as woman.
I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks and one at 8 wks, which were both devastating. But I do have a beautiful healthy 2yr old and 6 wk old. Don’t give up! Thank you for sharing, it means a lot, I looked to CZcams to find others to relate to. Xoxo
Susan is expecting, I’m calling it now! No, I’m not saying she looks pregnant. I ain’t being rude ladies. I’m just saying I have a feeling :) also, thank you for sharing your story Whitney. So many women suffer from miscarriages (sometimes multiple) and they hide it. Your story matters.
One of my friends had health problems when she was younger now she is 30 and health she has been trying to have a baby with her husband. She even went to a fertility clinic and she got pregnant. She could tell something was wrong. when she went to the doctor it was a miscarriage. She wasn't that far along and the doctor said it should pass naturally. She had to get a Procedure done because her body didn't pass it naturally. After it was all over she knew she could have a baby and kept trying it has been about 3 years. And NOW SHE IS PREGNANT AND DUE IN JULY!!!! So for others trying it may take time but it will happen. When she told me she is pregnant and due in July I cried happy tears for her because she has been trying for a long time.
I feel her pain, I’ve had two miscarriages. Now I’m 8 weeks pregnant and I’m still terrified anything can happen.
Hi my name is Brenda and my husband Luis we lost our angel last year I was 18 weeks pregnant and we lost our Jr me after trying 10 years to conceive again i have a 11 years old now of a previous relationship after trying 10 years I got pregnant with jr my most beautiful angel I just had my water broke and Rushed to the hospital before that day everything was normal on my monthly visits so for me I was still pray for a miracle I prayed to god and dr asked me right away if I wanted to wait naturally to have him deliver or taken away of course I wanted to have him whenever he wanted to be born and still wait for a miracle dr said that nothing could be done because there was no fluid and his little feet where coming out of the cervix so I stayed at the hospital for three day he was born alive he lived for 5 hours and then he was gone they consider my son miscarriage but I said no he came to earth and showed he was a warrior he fought for his own life even thought there was no help because here in az babies can be tried to help them until 24 weeks of gestation my son didn’t meet their law standards but he sure fought to be alive for his momma love my 👼
Just a quick thing. Not gaining weight doesn't always mean you should automatically be worried. I lost 15 lbs in my first 20 weeks of pregnancy. Wait to see if your doctor is worried before getting worried.
painful.. pls do a video on still birth
No one talks about a pregnancy after a loss. How the whole time you have that in the back of your mind and don't trust your body anymore.
Thanks for opening up.I had to put my baby to sleep while he was 5 months in my tummy.Everyone around me knew I was pregnant and kept asking me what happened. It was the hardest days of my life.I have made up my mind to adopt and give life for a kid.Thanks to my husband for understanding me and he has never pressurised me to have a kid. Love and hugs to all three of you.Feeling better after seeing this video.
Paying a doctor to abort your inconvenient unborn baby and rip them out of you is entirely different from losing a baby naturally. We are not the same.
Nothing you could take would stop a missed-miscarriage from happening.its usually the baby’s dna or no reason at all. Wish you lots a luck thou 💙
Sounds like it was very recent too. You're brave to open up so publicly.
I had my mc in feb. It was my second pregnancy and we decided not to tell anybody until after our 1st ultrasound. I mc'd the week before my utrasound and still haven't told anybody about it. I just can't take the pity, but that doesn't mean it's forgotten.
emmafh1 yes I think talking about your mc is a personal decision and you should honor your feelings and do what feels right for you. So very sorry for your loss!
That's so sad.
Whitney you baby is already on the way.dont panic
I think the medical system is very unsympathetic of miscarriage. A lot of people I know went to the doctor and were told your having a miscarriage, its normal, go home. Cold cold cold...of course it would be hard to talk about it after that.
Why do you put quotes around your titles? I feel it's misleading - miscarriage has more power than "miscarriage"
I also think it's important to mention that a lot of miscarriages are misdiagnosed. There's plenty of pregnant women who have been told that they've miscarriaged even though they were carrying a perfectly healthy fetus and end up aborting their child. They say if your doctor tells you that you've miscarriaged, wait it out because you never know if you are still pregnant.
I would know because although I've never been pregnant, the doctor that did my ultrasound whilst my mum was pregnant with me told her that she miscarriaged with me, even though that wasn't true. Or that I'd be born with birth defects. Something along those things. But she waited out with me and turns out I was fine and was born a healthy weight.
Also the term for a baby that conceived soon after a miscarriage is called a rainbow baby and a baby born before a miscarriage is often referred to as a sunshine baby. I thought that'd be nice for most people to know when dealing with a loss of a baby.
