Javiannas Light

07/14/2026

It is Birth Trauma Awareness Week. This year's campaign theme is the cost of birth trauma. Some of these things can be physical, psychological, financial and social. For some moms it's one, and for others it's several. Wherever you are in your birth trauma recovery, you are seen. You are loved. And you are not alone. 🫶🏻

Forever my girl 🤍

You can’t convince me that someone else needed my baby more than I did.

Not God.
Not timing.
Not “everything happens for a reason.”

Because I needed my baby.
In the quiet moments.
In the plans I was already making in my head.
In the future I started picturing the second I found out.

And losing them…
doesn’t suddenly make it make sense.

Especially when it happened in the middle of everything else falling apart.

A relationship ending.
A life shifting.
Trying to survive something I never should’ve had to go through.

People will try to find meaning in it.
Try to soften it.
Try to make it easier to swallow.

But some losses don’t need to be explained.
They need to be acknowledged.

Because no matter what the circumstances were…
that was still my baby.

And I still needed them.

Pregnancy after loss is hard, I knew that. However, I didn't expect it to be a new area of grief for me. Every pain, every headache, every not feeling well I put myself back into that day and what I went through. It's like PTSD all over again for me multiple times a week. We hit 24 weeks on Tuesday. The closer we get to the time I had Javianna, the more terrified I am. Just praying that I can bring these babies home safely and I get to come home too. 🤍🕊️

Happy Easter! I hope you all had a great day filled with family, friends and laughter. We go to church every Sunday and that's our time spent with our girl. It's the only time I feel like we all spend time as a family including our babygirl. We went to church early this morning and the last 5 minutes of service we sang a worship song. I was overwhelmed with emotions thinking about Javianna being with Jesus today instead of us. I started to tear up and I didn't want to cry during service so I pulled myself together but it was HARD. It's okay to feel all the feelings even if that means crying in church. Here's to hoping that all our angel babies had the best day and hunted Easter eggs with Jesus. 🕊️🤍

The Preeclampsia Foundation announced the launch of a new national initiative to strengthen risk identification through a standardized wristband to help medical teams quickly recognize postpartum complications from hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. The “Still at Risk” initiative was announced as a public-private initiative at the National Conference on Women’s Health sponsored by the Office on Women's Health - U.S. Department of Health and Human Services U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

For over 25 years, the Preeclampsia Foundation has advocated for a world in which preeclampsia and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy no longer threaten the lives of mothers and their babies. Today, with the support of HHS, they are joined by leading national healthcare organizations to announce a new national initiative aimed at preventing postpartum deaths and strengthening awareness of maternal cardiovascular health among care providers and postpartum women.

The Preeclampsia Foundation has convened a multidisciplinary task force to harmonize the use of postpartum wristbands and an awareness campaign across health systems nationwide. Supporting organizations include the American Medical Association, American Heart Association , Premier Inc., the National Institute for Children’s Health Quality, which oversees the National Network of Perinatal Quality Collaboratives, and numerous state Perinatal Quality Collaboratives, among others.

The standardized “Still at Risk” wristband national awareness campaign can improve identification of at-risk postpartum women, prompt conversations between women and providers, and help emergency teams quickly recognize maternal health complications after delivery. Visit www.stillatrisk.org for more information.
