I became increasingly angry on your behalf as I read your powerful story. It is inconceivable that, in the 21st century, women should have to go through what you did. If I lived in the US and in your district, you'd have my vote many times over.

Allie, your story was gut-wrenching. I am a mom of five. This entire web of fertility and reproduction is so complex, so multifaceted, and often incredibly painful. There is no way to know how to grieve all that is lost, or has already been lost, when a serious diagnosis that can put your health at risk is given. May Miley live on through all the ways you and your husband and daughter choose to honor her existence.

Thank you for sharing your story! I'm so sorry for your loss and everything you went through. It really is unbelievable that this could happen to you - or anyone! So grateful you found the strength to share your story, I'm sure it will make a difference so others won't have to go through anything similar. Thank you!

I'm so SO sorry for your loss, so furious that you were not able to get the care you needed in your own state, and so grateful you are sharing your story.
