Mom Shares About Her Journey After Losing Her Baby Girl
Miscarriages and infant loss can be one of the most difficult things for someone to go through.  It is something that a lot of women go through in silence, but Danielle Walker decided to share her journey to help others. Danielle is a mom of two boys and two girls. Danielle had already given birth to her first son when she found out she was pregnant with a little girl. Danielle always wanted a baby girl. She had a lot to look forward to and she was so excited. But while she was preparing for the birth of her first baby girl, Aila, she received dreadful news. Sadly Aila had a devastating genetic disease. godupdates mom talks about infant loss Credit: Facebook/Today Parents The doctors said that she probably would not make it after she was born. And unfortunately, Aila passed away just about a half an hour after she was born. It was so devastating for the family. Even after Danielle had her second boy a year and a half after Aila passed away, she had a lot of conflicting emotions. She felt guilty for being happy but couldn't stop the joy her sweet baby boy had brought her.
