Blogger Julia Pushman openly shared the story of her missed pregnancy on her YouTube channel.
Pushman admitted that she decided to have a baby a few months after getting married. However, she and her husband had problems conceiving. It turned out that the blogger has a low level of progesterone, a hormone that affects conception and delivery of a baby. Doctors advised him to take hormone pills, but he refused, stating that he would do so only as a last resort.
After several tries, the blogger managed to get pregnant. Pushman explained that he initially developed thyroid issues during the mission and his progesterone levels remained low. But despite the discomfort, the pregnancy was easy at first.
In the sixth week of pregnancy, a misfortune happened in the Pushman family – her grandfather died. The girl tried not to be nervous as she was in a position, but it was very difficult mentally. Moreover, she had to cancel the funeral tour to save the child.
“Although it was a great pleasure for us – pregnancy, I could not rejoice. The pain of loss was much stronger,” Pushman shared.
At the 10th week ultrasound, the doctors did not see the baby’s heartbeat and diagnosed a miscarriage. The girl could not accept this news for a while and even wanted to do an ultrasound again, but then she refused, admitting what had happened.
“I hope all this trouble in my life ends,” said Pushman. She revealed that she shared her story to help girls in similar situations understand that they are not alone.
