Born Again

A miscarriage can be an isolating experience. Having two can take the very ground from under you. Dr Kiran Sethi recalls braving through her loss.

The day you realise you are pregnant, you just feel a little different. A little spark lights up inside of you. I peed on a stick—and saw the two pink lines and didn’t believe it. After two years of trying to get pregnant, I just felt so lucky to finally be here. I spent the next six months planning my baby’s existence. I imagined decades of our family life in my head. I took my prenatal vitamins religiously, never missed my doctor’s appointments, subscribed to Baby Center’s emails, played classical music for the baby and carefully tracked its growth. I was obsessed. I couldn’t wait to meet my little joy growing inside of me.
