Hi there!

My name is Emma, I'm 28 and I live in London with my wonderful husband J. We've been together for 7 and a half years, and blissfully married for 2.

In April 2008 we decided to try for our first baby, eagerly jumping in with both feet.

We hit the jackpot on our 3rd try, and found out during our romantic getaway to celebrate our 2nd anniversary.

Unfortunately, I miscarried at 6 weeks 2 days, shortly after we'd been to our first doctor's appointment...

It is nearly a week on now, and I feel confident enough to say I'm ok. The whole experience was atrocious, of course, but I feel the science behind it all has helped us both come to terms with our loss quicker than I'd expected. My husband says that he trusts my body's instincts, and if it rejected that little bud of life it must have been for a good reason...

Somehow my mind and my body feel stronger now and we both know that next time I fall pregnant we'll be better prepared for the journey ahead.

I wish all of you well in your journeys to motherhood...

Em x
