“What it feels like, to think at one moment that you’ll be bringing a baby home in seven months and the next second you know that you won’t because your embryo doesn’t have a heartbeat. It’s doesn’t end here. The process of terminating a pregnancy is like the worst nightmare,” she said. “It’s like so much pain without any gain. I’m still dealing with complications after the miscarriage.”
