Hello. My name is Destiny. Sadly, I find myself with a group of beautiful people whom have lost beautiful souls in the form of a baby. I am 39 and went through IVF in December 2022. It was successful. My husband and I had just had our 19 week checkup. Found out it was a boy. We had a name for him and everything. Sadly, a week later I ended up in the hospital with severe preeclampsia. Not knowing what it was considering I've had a textbook pregnancy with my daughter almost 11 years ago, this was foreign. I had fluid in my lungs, shortness of breath, high blood pressure, etc. After spending 3 weeks advocating not only for own health, I was fighting for our son life too. He deserved a chance. As soon as he was cleared to have NICU care, at 23 weeks gestation, 0 days, his heart stopped. I was beyond devastated. I cried as no one was in the hospital with me at the time cause everyone was at work or live out of town. I delivered on May 5, 2023 and he was born sleeping. I got severely sick with an infection less than 24 hours after I gave birth. I spent a whole month in the hospital. The trauma, the nightmares, the tears, not wanting to go outside, etc., it got to me. A little over a month later, I have my days, but I'm finding ways to cope and keep our son's memory alive as I navigate these waters. I hope to connect with other women through this platform and continue to heal through such loss.
