A few weeks ago, I was browsing the internet, and I came across a link that said something about why you shouldn't name your baby Olivia. If I'd seen this just a month ago, it would probably have sent me into a fit of tears. Instead, it piqued my interest and I clicked the link. What I saw was sort of funny and then the ending really made me go hmm...
Over the last nine years, I've had eight pregnancies. Two ended in the births of my daughters, Lily (8) and Ella (5). Five have ended in losses between 5 and 16 weeks. Chemical pregnancy, miscarriage, missed miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and late miscarriage are all part of my history. Finally, my 8th and final pregnancy, brought us our baby boy, Will, who has Down syndrome. With the loss of Olivia at 16 weeks on October 5, 2014, I turned to writing as a way to work through the challenges.
