I might be a little biased, but I have the sweetest, most giving, loving, amazing MOH that ever walked the Earth. She planned her pregnancy around my wedding (I love her!). With a due date of August 7th, she would have the baby and have time to lose a little baby weight. We picked the empire waist bridesmaid dresses to accommodate any extra baby weight. She went to her 17 week check up yesterday and the baby had no heartbeat. Absolutely devestating. Her last baby died at 3 months old. He was born with a chromosome disorder. I saw her go through that experience and was in awe of how she handled herself and how she did everything in her power to give that baby a normal life, knowing that he was going to die. She is seriously the most courageous woman I have ever known.
After going through the death of a child, I don't think she allowed herself to get excited about this pregnancy until all the testing came back normal and she made it out of her first trimester. That's what happened! And she was excited. And now this.
There's nothing I can say or do to make it right. I don't know what to do. Or what she needs. But I guess I felt the same way last time she went through this. She is the strongest, most beautiful person I've ever known and she has had such a rough road. It absolutely breaks my heart.
