Usually, I got very sick, very quickly, and it was clear that I was pregnant. This time, the pregnancy test seemed like an afterthought—ruling itContinue reading “The Story of My Angel Babies: Jennifer Campbell’s Story”

Terrified: Grace & Matt’s Story
When I went for my first ultrasound at 7 weeks, the tech could only see a yolk sac measuring 5 weeks. At first they suspected a blighted ovum, or maybe my dates were wrong.
