You do not need to give anyone an explanation on why you wanted to have another child, or why you made your decision. It’s your body and your life. You did what was best for you, and I’m happy that you made the best decision for yourself 😊❤

I love that you trusted us with such a personal decision. After a quick scan of the comments, it warmed my heart that everyone is so loving and supportive. You have built a wonderful community. We are here for you. 🦋

As a fellow HG mama who was knocking on deaths door(literally) throughout my pregnancies and am still dealing with the repercussions 15 years later, I stand by you and your choice. Unless someone has been deathly ill by a baby growing inside them, they can never begin to understand the complexities and severity of this disease. You are brave. You are strong. And im thankful for you sharing your story.

My heart goes to you. As a physician, I sadly witnessed the loss of a mother to HG, leaving behind her 3 Y.o. Daughter. HG is to be taken seriously.

I understand your loss. I hade HG with my 3rd and 4th pregnancies. My 3rd daughter was born early ish at 35 weeks. And because my HG was so bad with my fourth I went into liver failure and my 4th daughter died at 23 weeks while I was in a coma. I spent most of my 3rd and 4th pregnancies in hospital. My 4th daughter would be 4 now and just have started primary school. But Instead i grieve her loss every day and always will. Time helps you carry that grief better but its with you always. I completely understand the choice you made, and why you made it, it's your body and your life and health. Sending love ❤️ 😍

Oh sweet momma. Words fail at a time like this. So sad.

Women are not just vessels to breed. We deserve love and care. Our lives are important. HG is not just a little sick. This is why the only people that should decide are the parent(s) and doctor. You are important! This is so hard. Love to you all❤

Lady you don't owe no damn body explanation for what happens within your heart and body. You're very brave stay well. Continue to heal... ❤❤❤❤

My niece had the constant spitting and carrying around a bag for the extra saliva. Her baby was born with a severe form of spinal bifida. My prayers go out to you and your family. May God bless you and know that God knows your pain and has your baby in perfect peace.

I suffered severe HG with all the same symptoms you've described. It was utter hell. My Dr recommended termination, I didn't do it and obviously love my daughter, however, I/we barely survived and suffer the effects on my body still 13yrs later. It is no joke and you did what was best for you. Always applaud that. #support

Baby girl, we love you. I can’t imagine how hard this decision was. You are an amazing mom. This baby was so so so loved. We are concerned for you not your decisions. Concerned in an empathetic and loving way. You got this mamas thank you for sharing something maybe many women have been through but it isn’t talked about enough for people to know. ❤❤❤

💔I can only imagine how difficult this was to share publicly. Thank you for your transparency and willingness to educate your audience. I’ve never heard of HG. Sending love to you and your family

You did exactly what you needed to do, for yourself and your children, Mama! That includes children born and unborn. I terminated a pregnancy between the births of my two children for health reasons. I know how a decision like that can tear a Mama in two. The right thing isnt always the rasy thing... but the right thing will always yield more benefits in the long run. So much love and strength coming your way! ❤ Blessed be! ⚕️☮️

Having an abortion is a decision that is usually surrounded by many complex issues and circumstances. Some people act like this is a decision that women make lightly and it isn't at all. Take care of yourself and your family. I'm so sorry for your loss, please don't worry about anyone who thinks they have a right to judge or shame you.

Precious, Thank you for being so open and vulnerable with us. I’m so sorry that you had this experience. You made the right decision for you and that’s all that matters, but for consolation, this doesn’t change my view of you at all. You’re an incredible human being and an amazing mother. I can only imagine how painful this must be. I hope that you and your family are getting all of the support you need to get through this. Sending love your way ❤️

Im glad you had the OPTION to do what was best for you & your family. *hugs* praying for your heart to heal.

Sending you all love from here. That was a very hard choice to make, but you made it for your family and your children. We can only respect it from here. Best wishes on the healing process from here on out.

You deserve privacy. You deserve all the support that anyone can get in this circumstance. Just know that there is a whole community off your people who support you and your family. You were faced with two tough scenarios at the same time and you made the best decision that you could. You provided all the information that you needed to provide, and I dare say that you didn’t even need to provide all of this information, but you did need it so graciously. If anyone has any questions beyond this, feel free, for your own sanity, not to engage.

as a mom who made it through an HG pregnancy with my second child, it genuinely deterred me from ever trying to have another baby because it was so horrible. i am sending all the love i can your way. it’s your body, your choice and all the feelings right now are so valid.

I had the exact same pregnancy!!! Now my baby is 16! God is good!

Terminating a pregnancy is a very difficult decision and for some can leave an emotional scar. You did what you had to do for your health and I’m so sorry you had to go through that. I had to terminate one to have my appendix out. It’s never easy but know that you are never alone.

Your level of vulnerability is so brave…I’m sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family 🙏🏾

There is no judgment from me, you don't owe us an explanation, I have miscarried, and had an eptopic pregnancy, so I understand grieving a child you never knew. I send you loving virtual hugs. You are a very strong woman, Mother, and wife. AND you made the right decision for you and your family. ❤

I wish I could take away all of your pain! You are an amazing mother! I’m 20 now with severe ADHD and on the autism spectrum. I am so grateful for my patient, loving, understanding parents everyday! I see the way you are with your daughter and it reminds me of the intense bond I’m so lucky to share with my own mommy because of the unconditional love she has never hesitated to show me. If I ever had to see her close to death due to a pregnancy, it would have caused so many terrifyingly complex emotions that I could never have possibly dealt with at your daughters age! I’m sorry you were in pain for so long, and I’m so grateful you made the decision to stick around to continue to be a wonderful mother! ❤ thank you for sharing. sending love, light, blessings, gratitude, cosmic kisses, and infinite appreciation! Nothing you are doing is easy! I can’t imagine how exhausted you are… I wish I could give you a ginormous heart hug ❤

😢I’m so sorry for your devastating loss. Gentle hugs to you and Chris.

YOUR body, YOUR life, YOUR family, YOUR choice. Much love and respect to you and your beautiful family 🙌🏿

Much love to you and your family. I am praying for your family. I am a 81 year old active elder. When I was in my late 30's and being diagnosed as a severely high risk Mother I had to make decisions to terminate several times. Before that I gave birth to a lovely daughter and then a son. Much love and prayers got me through. You are a wonderful loving Mother and wife. You are truly the Matriarch of your family.❤

Thank you for sharing this. More people go through this than you know. Sending you light and love as you move through this season. And so many hugs, all of you.

Thanks for being authentic and sharing your story. No one has the right to judge you for a decision that you made for YOU! Sending HUGS and PRAYERS for you and the family♥♥♥

You just blew my mind with the most Motherly sacrifice I can think of. I can't imagine having to make this decision but I admire your strength and love for your family. I hope that you, your husband and your kiddos heal from this lose and become even stronger. You have my condolences and my respect in opening up about this struggle when you have chosen to share so much with us already. Thank you for your vulnerability, openness and grace. You are one strong Mamma!!

People don't realize that complications involving pregnancy is so common. Termination is something that a lot of people have to choose, even if that baby is planned and wanted. Mothers health is the number one priority. HG is incredibly serious and can have serious repercussions to you and your baby forever. Insufficient nutrition to mom and baby for an entire pregnancy is going to have lifelong consequences for both. The physical and emotional toll is so great. I know this decision was not easy for your family, but putting your family first is the most important thing in the world. Proud of you for sharing this difficult decision with the world. Maybe it can open a discussion on termination and how it's not a black and white situation.

You should not feel guilty for what you decided. You saved yourself and you saved your baby from probably a horrible and painful life. You were brave to make this decision and I wish I could hug you to make you feel better. Please please do not even read the negative comments about what you did. They were not going through the hell that you were going through. I think you were very very brave to do this. I send you lots of love and hugs.

Hey mamas, giving a virtual hug! I know this was hard for yourself and Chris and I'm sorry you had to go through any of this. I'll be praying for you guys. ❤

I’m so glad you aren’t apologizing for doing what you felt in your heart was best for you and your baby. I’m so sorry for your loss. ❤️🙏🏼

I went through that with my last(3rd) pregnancy.... felt so sick, they refused to give me the IV bags & gave me pills that could cause defects, so I didnt take them but only once or twice... terminating a pregnancy crossed my mine once, but I could never.... I said Ill leave it to God... she was growing perfectly, but I was just SUPER sick... were both fine & healthy... but I still feel the same after, minus the HG... they say Im beyond fine, but being that in 14days marks 2years since her birth sucks to me because Im still dealing with this & did not with the last two... this healing process is like torture this round, to the point im like NO MORE as much as my Husband & I wanted a big family & he also agrees... we have three beautiful baby girls & are happy & blessed with what God blessed us with!!!

Thank you for your bravery and vulnerability. I'm so sorry you and your husband have experienced this loss. I'm praying for healing for your hearts and family. You did what you had to do. What was best for you and your baby. It's not always going to be what others would do, but it's not about anyone else. Your strength is admirable ❤. Take some time. Heal. Celebrate the love of your baby. He/ she was with you for the time they were supposed to be ❤

Sending you so much love. I know that decision wasn’t easy but you had to do what was best for you. HG is no joke. I had really bad morning sickness my first trimester. I contemplated many of times just ending it when I found myself sick in the emergency room. Thankfully the medication prescribed to me was able to help. I am currently 18wks and I still get nauseous but it’s bearable. I couldn’t imagine dealing with HG and nothing helped. Just know you are not alone and it’s okay to grieve ❤ Thank you for sharing.

Father God, please bless Chris, Precious and their family with the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical strength to endure the grief and pain that they have and are experiencing due to the decision that they had to make for themselves and their family. Please comfort each one of them in a way that only you can. I empathize and sympathize with them as they move forward in their life’s journey. Shield, shelter and protect them from depression and oppression. We trust and believe in you and we thank you in advance for honoring and answering this prayer. Amen 🙏🏽

OMG.... YOUR FAMILY is the bravest, strongest and most loving group of people I've ever seen. I also lost a baby and was never able to bear another child so I don't know about morning sickness but I have stage 3 lung cancer and during my chemo I felt like you described you were experiencing. Had a spit bucket and just wanted to lay there and die. But again I can't even imagine how you have made it through this. Every member of your family shine like the sun with the love you all have within. I wish you all the love and blessings that are possible. Stand tall and shine on Precious..you made the right decision. All my love and energy are sent your way❣️❣️❣️

We cannot blame you. I went through a similar situation and it was awful. I pray for yalls healing and when the time is right, God will send you guys another rainbow baby

“….and God said My grace is sufficient “ Keeping you covered🙏🏽❤️

I'm so very sorry for your pain. You are an amazing person and mother. ❤

I appreciate & your graceful honesty! You were faced with a very challenging decision! I pray your mind & body continue to recover from such a traumatic situation!🙏🏻❤️ God bless you & your family!

First of all, I’m so sorry for the loss of your baby and the grief you all are/will go through. You had no obligation to tell us anything, and your chose transparency. You’re a young and beautiful family. HG is no joke. I’ve been there and understand everything you said. Please protect your family and your peace as you move forward. Nothing has changed for me. I love your channel, because it’s truth! You’re an amazing mother. ❤❤❤

Overwhelmed with love and compassion for you and your precious family. I am so sorry you had to go through this. Your bravery and love for your life and your family is so powerful.

I’m sorry you had to endure that pain and make such hard decisions. I’m also glad that you had that option available. Sending you love and healing

Precious, sending you love and hugs and blessings. You are so courageous my dear, sharing your struggles. You don’t owe anyone anything. Know that you are loved, take care of you! I’m praying for you and your family. Love and blessings. ❤❤❤❤❤

My sincerest condolences to you and your family! No judgment to you because you did what was best for you and that’s all that matters. I know it’s hard but always bear in mind you did what was best for your health. I pray for your healing physically, mentally and emotionally. Loss of a child no matter how it happens hurts. Take as much time as you need to heal 💜💜 I went through HG too and it is no joke! It takes a serious toll on your body and even your mental. Take it easy on yourself during this time.

I am so sorry you had to go through that. Many prayers for you and your family.

I cant imagine your pain. No one has a right to judge you and you have no need to apologize. Feel your grief as often as you must and trust that what you and your husband decided was the best for you and the family. My sincerest condolences to you and your husband and your family.🙏🏼

I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that, mama. Thank you sharing your story.

As a nurse I have witnessed many moms hospitalized with HG and it was extremely tough on them and the pregnancy. As for the termination it is a tough decision. It appears that your pregnancy was abnormal and best for you and the baby. I do understand your grief and thank you for your transparency. It will take some time. My prayers are with you and your family. Time does heal…I did not get triggered. Take your time and process things on your terms. ❤🌹❤

I understand, and respect your decision. I’m so sorry for you and your family to have to overcome dealing with something like that in life, and the emotions that followed with something you wanted that wasn’t headed in a healthy direction. I wish wellness and healing on you and your family. We all love you Precious

Hg mama. 3 out of 4 kids. I couldn't even sit. Stand. Bathe anything. And being a miltary wife with no help, on a picc line, boy you talk about depression. So I understand mama. Listening to you, brought back all these memories. Horrible memories. I am sorry. Termanation is a rough word. It makes you feel awful. It makes you feel shame and pain and just everything. You do not owe anyone a reason. You do not owe anyone more info. Women that understand just want you to heal. Mentally and physically. It's okay mama.

very sorry for your loss. i am so grateful that you shared your message and your experience with the world. you are immensely brave!

So sorry for what your going through. I pray for you and you're family. Time will heal. My heart aches for the pain your going through. I couldn't imagine having to endure what you did. Best of luck!❤

Do what is best for you and your family. Thank you for your bravery. Sharing something so personal, I can only imagine, is not easy. Your family has all my love in support ❤

I know the feeling. Praying for you all.

You are so strong, I'm so sorry for what you have had to go through. Please seek any additional support as and when needed. I hope if nothing else you can know how important this story is to share and how many people you impact. Sending you love and best wishes xx

So sorry you had to go through this but you made the best decision you could and I'm so glad you live somewhere where you're able to make that choice because it's your right to do so. I'm sending ya'll all the love and hope you can heal from this emotionally and physically ❤❤❤

I’m sorry you had to go through this. But im also glad you were able to get the healthcare that you need! This is why women should be able to take autonomy over their bodies and health. It’s a hard decision but I was what’s best for you and your family.

Sending much love your way 🧡🧡🧡 I hope you receive more compassion and love than you do judgment, this is hard enough for you to go through without having to worry about negativity from others. I’m so sorry for your loss. I had to terminate an ectopic pregnancy many years ago, it was early on in the pregnancy and I wasn’t in a good place in life so ultimately it was what I believe was meant to be, but it was incredibly painful emotionally. It’s such a strange and conflicting experience and the grief is not something a lot of people understand unless they’ve been through it. I hope you have a good support system to help you through your grief. Take your time, let yourself feel, and know that you’re not alone. HUGS💖

You are so Brave! Bless You and your Family!

Thank you for sharing your story!!! Sending all the love your way! You're an incredible woman and such a great example to all moms!

You don't owe anybody an explanation for what happened or what you had to do or anything really. No judgment here either but I am very sorry for what happened still. I can't imagine how you feel. Sending you and your family so much love and healing💜

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 praying for you all and know that you are not alone. This touched my soul, because I went through something similar earlier this year and it was quite difficult. You made the best the best decision for you and your family and that's all that matters!!! ❤❤❤

Sending you and your beautiful family so much love and healing. You don't need to justify your decision. Your amazingly brave to share. ❤❤

My heart goes out to you, Chris and your kids. God bless you. I’ve prayed that you’re able to get through this and end up stronger, emotionally, mentally and physically. I’m sorry that you had to grieve so publicly. I know you didn’t have to, but you chose to. So thank you. I can only imagine how beneficial this will be for anyone else who has gone through or is going through something similar. You are a blessing; a true blessing to others. Your selfless gift of your broken heart is a testament of what a wonderful woman you are.

As a fellow HG and disabled mama, I know how horrible you felt. Thankfully, I had HG in my 7th/1st rainbow pregnancy. I literally had a 1.5 hour window almost every evening where my body gave me a break with nausea and vomiting. I ate all the spicy, carb foods my body allowed just so I wouldn't lose weight. I ended up in the hospital one time at 15.5 weeks to get a few bags of IV fluids. My HG lasted until 22 weeks which then started back up again around 32 weeks until I gave birth at 36+2.... I thank God so much I had one friend who had HG 15 years prior who I was able to talk with daily to get me through. If this didn't happen when I already had kids, I more than likely would've thought to possibly terminate. It actually crossed my mind many times and understood those who had went through what I did and did terminate. We all love your family very much. Thank you for being vulnerable and open even though we truly don't deserve a word of explanation. Although, I thank you for opening up because your story could help another mama struggling with the same. ❤ We miss your family and pray your body and heart becomes healed. ♥️

I’m so sry for your loss, you are so brave to come on here. I lost my Noah, (his heart stopped) my first and only son at 5 months this past June and due to the umbilical cord being to high around his neck and it still hurts so bad. I went through the whole process, labor and then the funeral. I still cry at night and I have no family support. Please stick close to your loved ones during this time. I have my husband but my family looked at it as it wasn’t a big deal because he wasn’t full term so they didn’t come the the burial or anything. I’m glad you have a strong support system because it’s def needed during this time.

I 100% support your decision. It was unbearably hard to make it, to live through it, and to live after it. Sending prayers of healing and grace to you and your family ❤

Respect. I love you and your family. Thank you for being so brave and sharing your experience. I hope your story helps others. Peace and Blessings!❤

I'm so very sorry for your family's loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God knows ❤️🙏🏾

So sorry for this part of your life's scenario. Praying for complete healing for all of you. Be encouraged.

I love y’all so much and I’m praying for your emotional and mental healing 💖💖💖💖

You and your family does not owe the internet any reason for anything. What happens in you and yours life is your business. I simply appreciate what you do share with us. Thank you for that.

You will never forget your baby and grieving your loss is entirely normal. I have been in a similar position, and its not something I ever thought I would go through. You did what was best for your health and your family and that's all you can do. X

I am so sorry that you had this experience and had to make such a difficult decision. I’m glad that you were able to make the decision that was best for you. It is so normal to grieve this loss. I hope that you and your family will heal. Be gentle with yourself. My thoughts are with you.

I'm so very sorry that you and your family has had to endure this and make such a difficult decision! I pray that you are able to be strengthen, both physically and emotionally, and your desire to grow a large family is achieved in the future!

Precious, you are precious!! Don't you ever forget that! As for the people that don't understand your life, It's not for them to understand your life. Thank you for sharing everything that you go through. Whatever your decisions are, they are your decisions, no matter what others think. You ARE an amazing mom raising an amazing family. You are doing such an awesome job, I don't know that I or many others would be able to do. All my love 💓 All my prayers to you and your beautiful family 🙏🏽 ❤❤❤❤❤

You are a strong mother. Thank you for your transparency and openness. I am so sorry you and your family had to go through this. Sending you positive and healing vibes. ❤

Thank you for sharing your story. I support you and Chris' decision. God first and family second always. "You have to be healthy first" in order to take care of others ❤️

I Am So Sorry That You And Your Family Had To Experience This Entire Situation. Sending Love, Hugs And Prayers To You And Your Entire Family.🙏🏾💙🙏🏾💙🙏🏾

I love your honesty and openness. May God comfort and keep you and your family

Praying for you and your family. Your body, your choice and I am sure it was a very decision for you and your family. Blessings.

My heart breaks that you feel like you have to tell the world this private decision. I hope that you find healing end happiness again. Whatever YOU decide that looks like.

I suffer from anxiety depression. I'm getting alot better by getting help. Ok I'm be frank with you. Ok you need help with baby mikko. It's very very good your doing most of the work but there's nothing wrong with letting a teacher work with her as well. If you don't save yourself who will? There is nothing wrong with getting help otherwise it can go down hill. Please keep being loveable and pray over it

I am currently suffering with HG and it’s awful being pregnant and this sick is different it’s not a normal morning sickness the bad taste in my mouth that never goes away I feel you so much it’s so hard especially with a nonverbal 4 year old I have my husband to help but it’s a lot of work !!! I am very sorry and hope it gets better ❤

I am so sorry for what you were going through and let people say whatever they want. They were not in your shoes, and you did what you needed to do for yourself. All the best for the future.

Eres muy valiente por contar tu historia de forma honesta. Espero que te recuperes fisicamente y emocionalmente lo antes posible.

Thank you for sharing your story with us. I am sorry for your loss. Only you know your body. You will get thru this. Keep your head up. Sending positive vibes your way!!! 🤍🤍🤍🕊️

Thank you for choosing love. I say this because we didn't need an explanation, this was a decision that you made and no one has the right to judge. I just thank you for making your decision from a place of love because the love you receive from here on out is one of the pillars of strength to help you heal and move forward. Please take as much time as you need to grieve and heal and be good to yourself and again... Regardless of what anyone says you made the decision for you and your family and you have nothing to prove other than continuing to live your truth and stay surrounded by love.

I understand where you coming from with the sickness you felt. I was in ER 3 times in my first trimester and thought I or the baby wasn’t going to make it. It puts you in a difficult headspace which is hard to explain. I am currently 34 weeks, all thanks to TMH! Thanks for being transparent with us and my prayers to you and your family. ❤

Sending so much love, light and healing to you all! ❤✨

So sorry for your situation. Love the family you have and preserve your health so you can continue to be the best mother and wife you can be. Thanks for sharing your story ❤

This is a difficult thing to go through and a difficult decision to make. You made a choice that was right for you. Thank you for sharing your story with us. This doesn't change how I feel about you or your content. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you are on the mend from having HG. ❤

I'm so very sorry for what you and your family have been through. I'm going to say, for what it's worth, you will ALWAYS have my support. You are a beautiful person with a beautiful family, and the sharing you have done thus far has helped me with my own adult autistic daughter. I hope your heart and body heal with time ❤

I am so sorry for your loss, and your physical conditions that contributed to it. HG can kill people, it is absolutely horrific. You know best as Mom and Dad. Be kind to yourself.

Im Sooo sorry that you had to go through that. I think you are a Wonderful person and you had to make the best decision for you and your family. I wish you peace, love and safety. Keep your head up you did the right thing.

My goodness! Precious, you’ve had so much to deal with in your life! As a mother who lost her 17yo daughter, I’m familiar with the grieving thing. As a medical professional (retired) I think you made a wise, although difficult choice! I hope you try again, bc as you know, no two pregnancies are the same. I know it’s scary to think of a repeat, but talk with your GI surgeon, your Ob/Gyn, genetics specialist maybe, and I’ll be praying for you and your family. BTW I think you are doing great with Mikko. I have a niece, my sister’s grandchild, on the nonverbal but functional end of the spectrum (named for my deceased daughter) and my husband’s sister has an adult son on the profound end of the spectrum, so I respect how well you’ve done with her. ❤️❤️❤️
