did any of those end in early release? (miscarriage, still birth or abortion?) if so, can you share a little about those experience?
2 ended in early release…. I experienced 1 term pregnancy from a toxic relationship, then, I became pregnant through a non-viable relationship & medically released myself at 5 weeks. I fell pregnant again many years later & nature terminated it at 8 weeks. My life was chaos at that time & the loss was truly significant. My last pregnancy was apparently consummated at 10 days after losing the 3rd and then I only found out after 15 weeks of pregnancy. At 22 weeks of pregnancy, I started hemorrhaging and was put on bed rest for 3 months. So much trauma.

It’s hard to source & there’s still vilification.
