  • So not sure how to even describe this episode, but one thing is for sure, getting pregnant isn't easy, and nor is having a miscarriage.
    Hoping this video helps others realize that you're not alone on your journey. We struggled with the idea of putting this video out, and we're not putting it up out of grief, but think it's super important that others know they're not alone and this is more common than not.

    It will happen - at the age of 25 my doctors told me I wasn't going to be able to have children due to a surgery (tumor removed). I wasn't dating, wasn't thinking of marriage. I married my husband at the age of 30 (I told him that I couldn't have children when we started dating and he wasn't worried about it.) . I didn't think about having kids until all my friends started having babies (I was the last to get married). I decided that we could adopt, my husband said no and not to worry about it. I stopped thinking about it and poured'm myself into my work and travel. I'm happy to say that at the age of 38, I gave birth to our son (I was never sick, didn't know I was pregnant for 4 months). I'm 55 now with a 16 year old genius son who is beyond my world. He is a gift from God - he's traveled the world for dance, will spend this summer in New York with a dance company and he knows his purpose. When I say that it will happen when you don't expect it TRUST ME it will. I will keep you both and your future children lifted in my prayers. Excited already for the blessed journey you guys will be on - Peace & Love

      I started my pregnancy journey at the late age of 36 - I had health issues before that so could not think of even trying. Then I got the green light and was so excited and every month I would get my period and was devastated. I finally had a positive test, and just like Hannah, at my nine week exam - no heart beat and had to do a D & C. I could not stop crying. We decided to adopt a dog and take our minds off of things. At the age of 38 I had a strange feeling in my stomach and went to buy a pregnancy test. I could not wait till I got home and did the test in a bathroom in the shopping center! It was positive! Today I have a 17 year old genius boy that just got accepted to an Honors College!!! Cat!! I wish I could meet you!! My son is a math and physics genius (literally ) but his passion is film making and he is sooooo good at it!!! He is my gift from God - I can honestly say that I have enjoyed every single day of him - he is perfect!!! I just discovered Hanna and Brendan and Im addicted already! I love you guys!!!!

    @thejoyrandolphshow 5 років тому +317

    Thanks so much for sharing your story. It's hard to find the words to explain how your video has touched me, but I'll try.
    I remember when you two got married because it was shortly after I got married.
    After we got married, my husband and I were starting to try for a baby and got a surprise. I was diagnosed with a rare borderline cancerous tumour on my pancreas and nearly died. I need a major operation to remove multiple organs to stay alive. We obviously had to delay trying until I healed from surgery. I was devastated for so many reasons.
    I know what you're going through is different.
    But I guess what I'm trying to say is... 11 months after the diagnosis and surgery, we got pregnant.
    We were so happy to have gone through everything and conceived.
    But at 18 weeks in the pregnancy, as a consequence of my surgery, I got a complete bowel obstruction nearly died. I couldn't eat for 7 days and was rushed to theatre for another major operation. I remember crying, thinking we'd lose the baby, after everything.
    Fortunately, a miracle happened. The surgeon saved me and the baby and we made it until full term.
    I thought the worst was over... until the birth happened. I ended up having an emergency c-section and when my baby was born, she wasn't breathing, she was limp, blue and completely non-responsive. They had to resuscitate her for almost 6 minutes. When she took her first breath, they rushed her to NICU.
    I'm not saying this to share a "horror" story.
    I'm saying this to say... I know what you mean when you say "trying for a baby isn't easy."
    AND ... as someone that's had a difficult time, in time, I've come to learn that this phase passes. And one day, you'll be holding on to your baby, reminiscing on how much you wanted them and how lucky you are to have them.
    My baby was born on December 18th 2018. Fast forward to today, she's now having bathtime with her dad. Despite her complex pregnancy and birth, she's healthy, happy and when you see photos of her or my husband and I, you'd have no idea what we've been through.
    I've learned miracles happen. Hang in there. Know that this period will be in the past, and one day you'll hold your precious boy or girl.
    Many miracles are coming your way.

  • @lndsyvghnbubert
    @lndsyvghnbubert 5 років тому +15

    I’m so sorry. I basically started crying immediately...and then kept crying. Fertility issues are common but not necessarily commonly shared. Social media has helped with that a lot, I think. We knew we’d need help from before we even got married because of my health issues growing up. We went through a round of fertility treatment - an IUI - and it didn’t take. It was such a sad moment when the test came back negative. To this day I think about what if it had worked, how old our baby would be - 7 years old. Then we found out that we’d ultimately need an egg donor and IVF...and the pressure. My god, the pressure... Anyway, it’s hard, especially when you see people poppin’ out babies left and right. Get to a doctor and get both of yourselves checked out. If for no other reason than to cover your bases. Positive thoughts and vibes sent to y’all

And I did go on to have my two healthy sons, 3 miscarriages for a total of 2 years trying to conceive, 5 years of being pregnant. You will grow your family, of that I’m certain. And yes, when you are trying to have a child it does feel like the whole world is fricking pregnant. 💗

    Miscarriages are so much more common than most think - like you said - very few talk about it.

I believe your dream will come true - just remind yourselves - anything worth fighting for, never comes easy. Bless you both, Clair

    I am so so so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Sending you huge hugs. Honestly, sending you both so much love. I went through a miscarriage (I didn't know I was pregnant and wasn't trying) with my long term partner a number of years ago and the isolation and loneliness during the miscarriage was almost crippling at times. So I know it must have been extremely hard to post this and talk about it publicly, but it really is so helpful to me, and for others to hear you speak about it openly and so beautifully. Just hearing about the whole process you have so far been through including the heartbreak, but also the excitement you hold for the future is so empowering and encouraging to me and everyone watching. You are both very brave for speaking so openly and so warmly. Thank you for sharing. I am sending you so much love for the future on your pregnancy journey and for your future family. And in the meantime, know that you are both helping so many people with your voices. We appreciate you. And we are behind you on this journey. Big love.

Although I am far beyond my fertile years; having survived 3 miscarriages (2 very late term); an Ectopic pregnancy/tubal ligation - I was carrying twins; 5 healthy births; and finally, a hysterectomy in my early fifties - I emphasize 😢 and applaud 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 your courage in the sharing of your joy and pain.
    I’d no (lasting) support from those from whom it was expected. Almost as if my “issue” was swept away; and, doomed to secrecy. A hug here, an uplifting comment there and possibly a bouquet 💐 or two. But I never felt at peace with my losses. To my knowledge there hasn’t been a community of emotional and mental health support for survivors of miscarriage(s). Your posting on IG and UA-cam has set a precedent! Again, thank you. 🙏🏽
    Please keep in mind that the sun ☀️ always rises; and so shall your joy. Be blessed... and a blessing. 🤗😘

    Wow- this is such an important and nuanced take on what is a hard and painful experience. I'm so sorry 😢 I can't imagine how difficult this was to film, but I also see how powerful and impactful sharing this raw story with people. It will help people who may have gone through this, or on my case, are supporting someone who has had this experience.
    It's also very important to show how pregnancies and their complications impact both partners, and you two have done an excellent job here. Hanna, from the physiological experience, Brendan from the support role and both of you from the mental and emotional perspectives, basically how each person brings these things in to this exoerience, and also how you use these things to support and be there for each other. ❤ The fact that you didn't shy away from including footage of how you both felt, is really important because I don't think many people are able to see examples that reinforce to them that their reactions or feelings are valid and normal. Wishing you two the best of luck - Bless.

    Thank you for sharing your story. It’s been really important for me to share my journey as I so wished more women had shared their’s with me and was so grateful for those who did. Trying to get pregnant and miscarrying can feel so isolating and like such an emotional roller coaster. So many people go through this. My husband and I have gone through it and you are not alone.
    I miscarried at 9 weeks. It was devastating to me. I was 31 yo, and it was my first pregnancy. It was nearly a year before I was able to get pregnant again. That year felt agonizing as I learned of so many friends getting pregnant with their second child, and we had yet to have one. I questioned a lot and felt down a lot. A friend who had trouble getting pregnant recommended the book “Making Babies” to me. I didn’t want to read it and was sure it wouldn’t help me. It was actually invaluable and I used it as my guide-what did I have to lose? My approach hadn’t worked and I have always been active and eaten a super healthy diet. I also got a series of Maya Abdominal massages to help heal my uterus post miscarriage and d&c. The biggest thing I learned was to let go and trust my body no matter the outcome. I wish you two the best on your beautiful journey.

I wanted to tell my family on Christmas but I had a miscarriage three days before Christmas. I was so sad. After sharing my experience with 5 close friends, we found that 4 of them had miscarried their first pregnancy. Apparently this is common. The good news for you is that you were able to get pregnant! Many can’t even get pregnant. That alone is a blessing. You will conceive sooner than you think. That’s my case now. I’m pregnant again. Took me two months after the miscarriage to conceive again. I’m sending you both pregnancy vibes this year. Love 💕

    What courage, Hannah and Brendan! My husband and I experienced secondary infertility meaning it took us only 6 months to get pregnant the first time and then we could not get pregnant on our own the second time. We went through 5 years of infertility treatment and as a clinical mental health counselor, professor and researcher, I read as much clinical research as I could about pregnancy and infertility. Eventually we went to Dr. Jeffery Kennan in Knoxville, TN. He gave us insights and knowledge that we had not been told by other REIs. He was amazing! Long story short we worked with Dr. Keenan and NOW have our second baby boy (May 2016). It is certainly a challenging journey to be sure. I even took a infertility counseling training course so I could be informed and counseling couples going through infertility. You are so right, people don’t talk about it. Each couple is unique. I would encourage you to get as much knowledge as possible-I read lots of blogs but tried to stay away from too much of it as there is no one size fits all. The scientific studies and knowledge was helpful as well. Find a reproductive endocrinologist you trust. They can provide valuable insights for next steps. Continue to love each other. Listen to each other’s feelings. Keep the faith! Stay positive! And keep hoping! Wishing you the very best!!!

      I just watched my first Hannah video when she was interviewing Gabby Bernstein, fell in love with her, then I came across these. You make such a cute couple and I hope this pregnancy happens for you guys. Hannah should reach out to Gabby Bernstein because she struggled to get pregnant as well. I think she would tell you to let go of grip you have on it, try not to worry about it so much and it will happen. I can't wait for the video when you say you're pregnant! Much love ❤️

    You guys have no idea how important what you’re sharing with us is. I have a 31 year old and a 28 year old and have an amazing grandson. It took me five years and one miscarriage before I had my first child. No one talked about this. I thought I was completely alone ! I became horribly depressed when everyone around me was having babies. I even thought about divorce because I blamed myself. If there was even one person like the two of you that shared their story with me it would have made a world of difference to me. God bless you both for sharing your stories.

    Thanks for sharing your story. It's not easy to talk about it but it is so needed to learn, understand and heal. Also a lot of times , we focus so much on having a baby , I say focus on having a great life partner. Babies may or may not happen but having someone to comfort and pick you up afterward is so much more enriching and rewarding.

    But that’s MY journey.
    For you two though, I see it and whew is that baby gonna be loved and blessed to have the best damn parents in the whole wide...y’alls house ☺️. Keep positive. Keep hoping. Keep loving. Your story isn’t over. ❤️

    My partner and I have unexplained infertility. We have tried to conceive for the last 3 years but unfortunately have not fallen pregnant.
    We have been lucky that in the part of the UK where we live we are eligible for one round of IVF treatment covered by the National Health Service (NHS). So we are on a waiting list due to start our IVF journey in November.
    Anyway, I just want to say thank you for being so open and making me feel less alone.
    Sending you both lots of love and wishing you all the best in your journey. xx

    Hannah and Brendan,Thank you for your transparency and vulnerability. Your bravery is inspring, your authenticity is refreshing and your sweet and gentle souls in such a difficult matter, is astonishing. I never comment on videos, but as i watched the hurt and dissapointment on your faces, I shed tears. Not only because i was stricken with sadness , but also because i realized that in sharing this part of your story with us, it spoke to the character, nature, and geuineness of you both. We got to experince the treat that those who know you dearly see daily, your hearts. In a time where many would stay silent, or be inwardly focused ( and rightfuly so) you bared all. Not for sympathy or pity, but to encourage others who had, or are currently wrestling through a similar situation and because of that I felt complled to share my heart just as you had. So here it is. Thank you for encouraging us to push past the dissapointing and difficult moments in life. Though they may seem hard, they too have significance just as the joyus moments. Thank you for reminding us that sometimes things dont go as planned, and thats okay. Thank you for inspiring us! Brendan, Your optimisim is contagious! The love you demonstrate to Hannnah is tender, and sweet. Hannah, Thank you for being bold, authentic, and such a sweet gift to women, and creative entrepreneurs across the globe. I look forward to rejoicing with you both ( if even only through a video) when you are met with the sweet delight that your hearts wait in hope for. Thank you for sharing.

    The same exact thing happened to me at 10 weeks. The loss and grief you feel takes time to heal. Unfortunately it was tricky for me for a while after that. When I decided to focus back on my life, got signed on a course, booked a holiday, relaxed and enjoyed making love to my partner t, 'it' happened. I got pregnant, and she is now five years old. Please don't lose faith. Thank you for sharing your story because this is something more women need to be more open about, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

    I would like to share my story with you guys, which will give you that little bit of hope, hopefully!! Me and husband were TTC for 6 long years, first we were just trying naturally and then last years we decided to get ourselves seen by a professional and all the tests came back normal but still no pregnancy. We were told we should opt for IVF because we had unexplained infertility, so we did then we did two rounds of IVF which both failed and in the end we were told i have poor egg quality and i would probably never conceive with my own eggs and they recommend that we use donor eggs, which in our opinion we did not want so we just opted out. Me and husband went on a few holidays together and just left things as they were and stoped worrying about TTC for some months, then this year towards the end of March i was due for my monthly cycle and but didn’t come on. I had a few tests lying around decided i would take one, thinking they were going to be negative but still wanted to do it to get over with it, so i went ahead and BANG it was positive, me with so many mixed emotions, not believing what i had just seen!! Over the next few days i did a number of tests which were positive, confirmed it with my GP and then like nearly two weeks ago went for my 12 week scan and saw my perfect little baby, all is good so far and praying for this pregnancy to continue and for me to give birth to a healthy baby and to have a safe delivery.
    I will keep you guys both in my prayers and know what the heartache of TTC feels like, i would never wish it upon anyone but one thing, never give up your time will come for sure 🙂🙂🙂

  • @room2organize
    @room2organize 5 років тому +3

    I know its hard to keep on the positive side but as Brendan said it is soooo much a mental state and that plays a huge part on your head space. If you can keep trying and don't constantly think about it it will happen. The more you worry the harder it will come to be. A friend of mine went through many and as soon as she just let go and not dwell on it she became pregnant instantly. You have each other and your time will come. Things are meant for a reason and that babe was not meant to go full term. It is not taboo and is a great thing to talk about it, share it and be real. God has a plan and when its time it happen. Thoughts and prayer for you both.

  • @ashaatkins24
    @ashaatkins24 5 років тому +1

    You two are incredibly brave for sharing. When Hannah posted on IG about your experience I DM'd her and shared with her that my husband and I m/c 2years ago right before the Christmas holiday. I was 6 weeks. I remember every detail and like you we tried to remain positive. It happened while I was at work and I had to discreetly exit the building to go the hospital for pre-op. The nurses and doctors were so kind to me and I will always remember how they treated me and made me feel despite what was happening. This shit is tough. I'm the only person in my friend group who has experienced this and so I know that feeling of being alone. Hannah and Hbfit are what pushed me to go to a nutritionist because I have PCOS which is something Hbfit has covered before.Pcos makes getting pregnant a little more challenging. So yea this is tough but you guys are beautiful people with amazing energy and the universe will show up for you because of that. It will be challenging and scary at times but it WILL happen. Blessings to you both.

    This is exactly what happened to me at 9 weeks pregnant. We saw a heartbeat at 7 weeks and took a deep sigh of relief, then at 9 weeks I went back without my husband to find out our baby had no heartbeat. I was absolutely devastated. My procedure to remove the baby didn't work so I needed the procedure twice. I had my first baby with IVF after 6 fertility treatments. She was there with me when I found out we lost the second baby, and it did gave me a lot of strength to get through it. We have to celebrate the successes in life and keep moving. It's definitely no ones fault and I always tell myself that was not a healthy baby. Sending you lots of love and hugs and hope and positivity and strength to get back on that baby train. xoxo

I have sent lots of loving light to Hannah . I will look forward to future posts of your beautiful family. Keep shining your light.🕊❤️🌻
