The Nest

Kristin’s Story

On my journey to motherhood, I lost 4 of my babies, including my daughter Vienna and son William before I carried my first living daughter home with me.

Each pregnancy after my first loss was an emotional rollercoaster. What was meant to be a beautiful, pivotal time in my life also became an incredibly stressful, isolating experience – filled with the highest of highs and also the lowest lows.


And all of that only intensified as we approached my due date— where the risk of losing my baby, and having my heart broken once again, was at an ultimate high. 

As a Doula, I expected to be prepared for the complicated emotions of pregnancy and birth – and yet I was totally taken off guard by how completely alone I felt – and how hard it was to find others who actually understood what I was going through. 

After the moment I thought would never come, and I held my beautiful daughter Sena safely in my arms – I made a promise to myself that I would do whatever it takes to make sure no other mother had to go through what I did all alone – ever again.
