An ultrasound confirmed the pregnancy loss.
“I remember being like, ‘Oh, there isn’t a heartbeat. You didn’t find one ’cause there isn’t one,'” Kylie said. “They quickly took me into the ultrasound room and did a vaginal ultrasound. They confirmed that there was no heartbeat and they estimated that the baby had stopped developing between, I believe it was nine and 10 weeks.”
“I called my mom and told her that I couldn’t tell Jason because it was his birthday,” she shared, adding, “I did. It was very hard for both of us.”
Kylie scheduled a D&E (Dilation and Evacuation) procedure for two days later. And since her miscarriage, every pregnancy she’s had has been tainted by fear of history repeating itself.
“For Wyatt, we did not share that we were pregnant until I was after 20 weeks,” Kylie explained, noting the period of time when a pregnancy is considered viable, meaning that a baby could potentially survive with medical intervention if born premature. “I Googled almost every week what the percentage, likelihood was that a baby could survive, which sounds really dark. I literally did it for Finn.”
