Trigger warning: this post is about miscarriage/baby loss/stillbirth

I was in an ultrasound lab having what I assumed would be a routine scan wherein we may be able to determine the sex of our second baby. Instead, what I had was an hour-and-a-half scan. Before the midwife told me, I knew.

“There is no heartbeat, your baby has passed away.”
