I’ll be honest—I usually don’t read posts that mention kids or pregnancy.

I’m child-free, and to be frank, long paragraphs about how parenting is the ultimate experience don’t interest me.

But I kept reading your post, hoping it wouldn’t be one of those—and I’m glad I did. It was worth it.

More power to you for choosing a life that’s fulfilling for you.

It was a heartfelt read, and I truly appreciate your honesty in sharing this.

Thank you very much. This was very different than anything I’ve ever written, and much harder for obvious reasons. But I’m glad I did it ❤️

Jeremie, your story resonates with me so much. My first baby suffered due to Oligohydramnios, and I lost him at 25 weeks. Second time too I lost a healthy baby. It is super hard but the reality

What a powerful personal story, Jeremie. Thank you for opening your heart so vulnerably and sharing such pain and the wisdom that arose from it.

Unfortunately, we rarely grow from comfort.

Tragedies are often our portals into the truth of this Life.

I'm sorry that you and Rosie had such a painful path and yet thanks to your baby boy, you were gifted a new life. He served his purpose in visiting you in this Life.

What a precious gift! Sending love to you both🙏✨💗

Such a sad and heartbreaking story Jeremie. It took courage to write, knowing how some people react. Your pain came through in every word. I am so glad you are happy now and still together. Something like that can break a marriage apart. Sending you both much love 🤗❤️

Thank you Sue. Yes I was a bit concerned about this but ultimately I think it helps to put this out there.

You are right, this could have tear us apart. It was hard, but it got us closer than ever. After things like that, we know we have each other’s back ❤️

Thank you for sharing this difficult chapter. I’m sorry you went through it because no one wishes this sort of hurt on anyone. Your share though has brought us closer to understanding your why and we are with you. My story of infant loss is different but there are overlapping pieces. I now feel, years later, that sharing with others is better than locking it up. If it can help others in their journey I’m up for it. Thank you for deciding to share as well. 💕🙏💕

I acknowledge the suffering you both had to endure as you had to make this decision and the one to move forward with your life after. No one can tell you what to do or how to be with something like this. It seems to have been a significant turning point in your journey.

Thank you Paul 🙏

It was THE turning point, in every possible ways. It’s one of those very strange things that I look back at and feel such a strange mix of feelings… in a way I want to pretend it didn’t happened, in a way it saddens me so much, in a way I’m grateful because it made me who I am today… it’s very confusing and strange.

It was a huge turning point for us. But it took a while to realise that.. it wasn’t instant! It was months of mourning and sadness 💔

Thank you Tristan I really appreciate your comment. Not easy no, but in a way it was also very freeing to write it down… until now I’ve only spoke about it, but words go away… while this will remain, for some reason it hits different.

This is an inspiring read. It reminds me of the pain and devastation after I lost my first child at 9 months during my labor. I understand what it means to walk around in a fog until the day I fell to my knees in the car park at work and cried my eyes out. Then I vowed to myself that the experience would not be in vain. Since I appeared as efficient as always, I recognized then that you never know what anyone is going through. Therefore, I have adopted the motto, BE GOOD AND KIND TO EVERYONE. Make sure everyone you deal with feels better when you leave.

I can’t imagine what you‘ve gone through but I know you made the right decision regardless what anyone out there is believing or calling you.

Jeremie's avatar

🙏 Thank you for saying that and for your support. I was worried about that to be honest. My wife has shared the experience on her Youtube channel, and the number of horrible comments she receives weekly is just outrageous. But the support here has been amazing ❤️

Anja's avatar

No one, simply no one is in your shoes, feels what you feel, knows what you‘ve experienced in this life and others…so I am wondering how anybody can judge you or your beautiful wife for the decision you had to take?! Instead of judging we should respect each other and be there for one another 🙏

Also a fact I want to share with you is, that some of these souls DECIDE THEIRSELVES to have this experience (abortion), you are „only“ the decisionmaker (a hard job indeed!). Very sure also that this baby boy soul is with you, it’s „just“ the physical body that isn’t there!

I wish you both all the best and thank you very much for showing up vulnerable, being honest and sharing a tiny part of your life story with us 👼💙

This was beautifully written, heartfelt and sad. I'm sorry you both had to go through that. I remember that 20 week scan during both of my pregnancies and the deep fear I felt imagining all of the possible outcomes. I think you both are brave, this is definitely one of those defining before and after moments. I love how you've restarted life as a result. Let's go.

Thank you Tanessa ❤️ Yeah, we had no idea how important it was to be honest when we arrived at the scan. Rosie took her camera and before the nurse started asked "can I film/vlog while you scan so we have a souvenir" and the nurse was like "no I need to focus please it's important"... we were oblivious to what could happen 😔
