“Chemical pregnancies occur so early that many people who miscarry are unaware of it,” the Bachelor In Paradise alum wrote.

‘I did get a positive test that month and a few days later I started bleeding. I knew what was going on within about an hour because a close friend had also had a chemical pregnancy,” she explained.

‘I was sad for a few days, but it was month #1 and my midwife encouraged me and said that often you will get pregnant the next month. It’s almost like your body is in preparation mode.’

In January, the couple announced they were expecting and Haibon was over the moon.

“We want Dawson to have a brother or sister,” Haibon said People at the time.

‘That’s really important. We both come from families with two children. So we wanted to give that to Dawson. I want that big family dynamic, but man, having that many kids is just so overwhelming,” he continued.

“So even the idea of ​​a second child is no longer a two-for-one in which we can defend against him. Now it’s just one on one.’

Last month, the couple had a sex reveal party at Walt Disney World.

The Bachelor Nation alums bit into some cupcakes and revealed they were expecting a second baby boy.

Iaconetti predicted she would have another son just before the gender reveal, joking, “I thought it was going to be a boy before I got pregnant.”

Haibon said at the time that he was excited about the prospect of starting a family of four, noting that “the idea of ​​us having two boys will be really fun.”

The cast member of The Bachelor Winter Games went on to talk about how she had originally wanted a girl during her first pregnancy.

“It’s funny because when it comes to gender disappointment, I’ve had it so much worse with Dawson. We found out, and I was upset for a day or two,” she said, adding, “I don’t really even care what the combo is now, I just want them to be close.”

WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PREGNANCY?

INFORMATION COURTEST WEB MD

A chemical pregnancy is a very early miscarriage. It usually happens before the pregnancy reaches five weeks. Many may not even realize they have had an early miscarriage if it happens shortly after a missed period. Doctors often diagnose a chemical pregnancy if you have had a positive pregnancy test and then start menstruating. They can also diagnose it if there is a positive pregnancy test, but the fetus cannot be seen on an ultrasound.

What is an early miscarriage (chemical pregnancy)?

Symptoms of a chemical pregnancy. Because it is an early miscarriage, many people do not realize they have had a chemical pregnancy. They may not realize it until they have already had a positive pregnancy test and then get their period. Other signs of a chemical pregnancy include:

A heavier than normal period

More menstrual cramps than normal

Low hCG levels

Lack of common pregnancy symptoms such as morning sickness or breast pain after a positive pregnancy test

Causes of a chemical pregnancy. There are many possible causes of early miscarriage, including:

Imbalanced hormones

Genetic abnormalities in the embryo

Lack of proper implantation in the uterus

Low body weight

It’s important to note that there is little you can do to prevent an early miscarriage, and it is not the fault of either partner. Furthermore, it is usually not a reflection of you or your partner’s ability to become pregnant. However, if you think you have had a chemical pregnancy, it is best to consult a doctor for advice.

Treatments for a Chemical Pregnancy: Most chemical pregnancies require no treatment. The miscarriage happens early enough in the pregnancy that it may seem like a normal or somewhat difficult period. If you have had an early miscarriage, you can immediately try to become pregnant again if you wish.
