I've had two miscarriages in the last two years.

I've had two miscarriages in the last two years. I have a miscarriage in June of 2022, I had found out I was pregnant 5 days prior and was so excited. We hadn't told anyone except for two close friends. I was at work in the hospital when it happened and was devastated. I kept working the whole rest of my shift, 8 more hours, then went home and fell apart. I felt my womb become empty. The second miscarriage I had was in April, almost two years later. We had been trying for a few months and I had just found out two weeks prior, this time. I was so excited and, on my son's 1st birthday party, announced it to everyone that we were pregnant. That night I started spotting. The next day, on my son's actual first birthday, I realized I was miscarrying again. We had announced to everyone we were pregnant, and I lost the baby the day after, it was humiliating and heartbreaking. I put on a brave face to everyone to not make things awkward. It's been hard because I haven't been able to get pregnant since and the due date for my baby is coming up, Thanksgiving Day. It also hurt when I found out my two sisters-in-law were pregnant at the same time, I'm not jealous, just sad. God has helped me through this immensely and has given me hope. He has been my Healer during this time and has helped me lean on Him in my pain. I am also a nurse at a local pregnancy center helping women every day through their pregnancy and sometimes their losses.
