What happened to Maya Vander's earlier pregnancies?
Maya's journey to motherhood has been difficult and marked by heartbreaking losses. In December 2021, she had the devastating stillbirth of her son Mason at 38 weeks. Then just six months later, she experienced another tragic loss when she miscarried while 10 weeks pregnant with another child. Despite these difficult experiences, Maya remained determined to expand her family.
In an exclusive statement to The US Sun, she shared her joy at being 9 months pregnant and expecting a baby girl any day now. However, she also spoke about the fears and concerns she has had throughout this pregnancy due to her past losses. Maya chose to keep her pregnancy quiet on social media because of the pain of her past experiences. She explained, "I lost a baby when I was nine months pregnant in the past. It's exciting, but also this time around I have more fears and more concerns given the last circumstances."
Despite these fears, Maya remained positive and hopeful throughout her journey. She explained, "I know it's hard to understand why I would bother to get pregnant again, but I had a huge void to fill. I stayed calm and positive. I'm very lucky and thankful for my kids. It was just something that was missing."
Maya hopes that her story will inspire other women who have experienced loss. She shared, "No one expects to lose a child and give birth to a stillborn. I hope my story will inspire other women going through any loss."
