Los Angeles Sep 3 (IANS) Reality TV star Jamie Otis says she had experienced a chemical pregnancy just days after she shared a picture of a test that she hoped was positive.
"Sorry I ve been missing in action. This very bizarre positive pregnancy test then negative test then faint positive lines gave me hope that Gracie was going to become a big sister in 9 months but the night before last I began having terrible contraction-like pains and spotting " Otis began reports people.com.
She added: "Then over the night full blown everything - if you know what I mean. I m a nurse so I had my suspicions; but my midwife confirmed I had a chemical pregnancy. I don t know why some people have it seemingly SO easy to get preggers and carry their babies to term and others struggle?"
A chemical pregnancy is "an early pregnancy loss that occurs shortly after implantation" according to Healthline.
"What I do know is that I am so so thankful for this little girl (and her daddy) right here. It s like she knew mommy was in so much pain.... she just wanted to be held and snuggled all night long " Otis said.
Otis and husband Doug Hehner have had a difficult road to parenthood. In July 2016 Otis and Hehner announced they had lost a baby boy they named Johnathan Edward.
Then in August 2017 Otis gave birth to daughter Henley Grace.
