I got this tattoo very soon after my miscarriage. It comforts me to have a forever reminder of my first baby.

On September 26th, I lost my first baby. Every day since then, I have had to continually learn how to heal and move forward.

My life could not stop when my baby’s did. I owe it to my future children to stay healthy and hopeful for them.

I have had to find the perfect balance of grieving and finding hope.

For months, I have expressed my awful mental health and continued struggle with anxiety. Now, I can finally talk about why I was so anxious.

I was anxious to start trying for a baby. When we started trying, I was anxious on whether or not I would be able to get pregnant. When I got pregnant, I soon became anxious if my baby would make it or not. (Before anyone says it, stress has not been proven to cause a miscarriage. My doctor was aware of my struggle with anxiety, and it wasn’t any kind of threat to my baby.)
