Dayna Childress, 28, from the US state of Ohio, and her husband Colby, 27, were excited to try for their first child in 2015 and were overjoyed to discover that after just a month of trying to ᴄᴏɴᴄᴇɪᴠᴇ, Dayna was pr3gnant.

The pregnancy went well and the couple’s first son, Lincoln, was born in December 2015. When Lincoln was nine-months-old, Dayna and Colby decided to try for another child because they wanted Lincoln to have a sibling close in age.

After six months of sᴛʀᴜɢɢʟɪɴɢ to ᴄᴏɴᴄᴇɪᴠᴇ, Dayna started to ꜰᴇᴀʀ she wouldn’t be able to get pr3gnant. Seven months later, Mrs Childress discovered she was pr3gnant, but ᴍɪsᴄᴀʀʀɪᴇᴅ at six weeks.

“Water was the main thing that caused me to get nauseous in that pr3gnancy and with my son, so I noticed the minute it went away and drank lots of water to try to get the nausea back,” Mrs Childress said.

“A week after the nausea stopped, tests confirmed I had ᴍɪsᴄᴀʀʀɪᴇᴅ. I was ᴅᴇᴠᴀsᴛᴀᴛᴇᴅ and couldn’t accept it.”
