Jamie Otishas suffered another miscarriage.
TheMarried at First Sightstar revealed on Instagram that during a doctor’s appointment on Friday, she and husbandDoug Hehnerlearned the devastating news that she had miscarried at10 weeks.
“So thankful for this little one and her daddy.🙏🏻” she captioned a photo of herself lying in bed and snuggling with 16-month-old daughter,Henley Grace.
“Our doc appointment didn’t go well today.😢 I’m devastated. We’ve had a ‘failed miscarriage,’ ” she revealed.
The reality star said that the couple was given with three options about how to proceed.
She admitted that she really doesn’t “want to have to go to the [operating room] and have a D&C for obvious reasons,” and ultimately decided to take medication.
“I’d love for my body to just naturally take the proper course, but since we don’t know how long that would take and since there’s a small risk for infection I opted to take the medicine and hope and pray it works so I don’t have to have a D&C.🙏🏻,” she said.
She then thanked her community of followers for their continued “love, support, prayers, and encouragement.”
“You have no idea how much that has helped both @doughehner & I. You guys are the most amazing community of women & men here on instagram & social media and I hope you know how much we appreciate you all.🙏🏻💗 We are so blessed to have such amazing Frans. We love you guys. ❤️,” she said.
Otis was17 weeks and one dayalong when she lost Johnathan.
“I’m trying to listen and ‘move on a bit’ but I just can’t quite figure out how to continue with everyday life. I just have no motivation to do anything,” she admitted, sharing that despite the much-appreciated well wishes from loved ones and encouragement that God “had bigger plans” for Johnathan, she has spent a lot of time crying.
She said at the time that “Doug has been so good to me with all of this. He’s remained very strong while I’ve felt so weak,” and wrote, “I told him I was trying my best to be strong and remain positive but I just don’t even knowhow. He just wrapped his arms around me and let me cry.”
The reality star explained that the couple wasn’t able to have sex since Otis gave birth to Henley, but that they were back to trying again.
“This is TMI, but it hurt so bad that it wasn’t even physically possible to do it,” shared Otis. “But we have finally been able to be intimate!!! …it’s only taken 8 months for it to stop hurting. (This is the kinda stuff no one talks about so I had no idea how bad it’d be!!) …But we’re finally working on makin’ Gracie a little sibling to play with.”
But in September, Otis announced another tragic loss:she experienced a chemical pregnancy just days after sheshared a picture of a pregnancy testthat she hoped was positive.
Achemical pregnancyis “an early pregnancy loss that occurs shortly after implantation,” according to Healthline.
“Sorry I’ve been MIA, this very bizarre positive pregnancy test then negative test then faint positive lines gave me hope that Gracie was going to become a big sis in 9 months, but the night before last I began having terrible contraction-like pains & spotting,” Otis wrote on Instagram. “Then over the night full blown everything – if you know what I mean. I’m a nurse so I had my suspicions; but my midwife confirmed I had a chemical pregnancy,” she continued. “I don’t know why some people have it seemingly SO easy to get preggers & carry their babies to term and others struggle?”
