Episode Synopsis

In today’s episode, I open up about my first pregnancy and the ectopic pregnancy that followed. An ectopic pregnancy happens when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tube, and it is a life-threatening medical emergency. What many people don’t realize is that this is also a miscarriage, and the physical and emotional toll can be overwhelming.I share the moment we found out we were pregnant as newlyweds, the excitement and dreams that instantly formed… and how quickly everything shifted. From the first symptoms, to the fear and pain, to emergency surgery and the heartbreak of losing a fallopian tube — this episode walks through the raw reality of trying to process grief, shock, and the loss of a future you had already imagined.We begin with prayer, lifting up every family who has walked through pregnancy loss. My hope is that through telling this story, more women and families feel seen, heard, and supported — and that those who may face this diagnosis in the future have greater awareness and understanding.
