Influencer Sarah Announces Stillbirth of ‘Miracle Baby’: ‘We are Devastated’
Lifestyle influencer Sarawho goes by the online name @chunkygalsarah has announced the stillbirth of her son.
“Friends, I’m not sure what the etiquette is for not announcing pregnancies, but I wanted to tell you that we unfortunately found out at our obstetric appointment this week that our miracle baby had no heartbeat,” Sarah wrote via Instagram on Sunday, January 18. “Our precious baby boy was born asleep on Saturday, January 17 at 6:11 p.m. Being in labor for almost 12 hours while hearing newborn cries in the next room, knowing that our outcome would be different, is a pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone.”
She continued, “The silence in our delivery room was deafening and is a sound I will never forget. We are shocked. We are devastated. We are so crazy because in addition to the regular kind of infertility grief, the loss of the second trimester is also part of our story.”
Sarah – who has more than 32,000 Instagram followers – thanked her followers for “sharing in our joy over the past few months” and noted that they are “very grateful.”
“I’m not sure what the next steps will look like because we will have to start the IVF process all over again,” she concluded. “It feels too heavy to even think about it right now.”
Sarah said in November 2025 that she and her husband, whom she usually does not name online, were expecting a baby. At the time, she shared a photo of the couple smiling as they held up ultrasound images.
“After almost a decade, after coming to terms with ‘it’s just not meant to be’. After hundreds of negative tests. After all the appointments, the lifestyle changes, the medications, the supplements, the lab tests, the invasive procedures for both of us, the setbacks at almost every stage,” she wrote via Instagram at the time.
She continued, “After hearing IVF would be our *best* (only) option. After realizing the cost of IVF would be 100 percent out of pocket. 😵💫 After losing almost 100 pounds and losing two years of valuable time to meet the BMI requirement for anesthesia. After all the injections, the hormones, the egg retrieval, the creation of just one miracle embryo on the most scientific way possible. After the embryo transfer and McDonalds fries.”
Influencers Carlo Longo and Sarah Mollica open up about their ‘devastating’ pregnancy loss. The couple, both 28, who gained many followers after sharing their intercultural love story, announced on Saturday, August 2, via TikTok that they had experienced a miscarriage. Sarah was two months pregnant. “Our baby. Our greatest love and our greatest heartbreak,” Sarah […]
Sarah noted that after “everything,” it was “all worth it” to “see those two lines and hear this little one’s heartbeat.”
“I can’t wait to be a geriatric parent with you, B. 😭😂,” she wrote. “While we could have figured out the gender before the embryo transfer (science is wild!), we’ve realized that infertility and IVF have robbed us of pretty much every possible form of surprise on this journey. So we decided to find out who this little one is on their birthday 🩷💙.”
Sarah concluded her letter with a message for those struggling with infertility.
“Finally, if you’ve been through the hell that is infertility – I see you,” she wrote. “I know the pain of seeing these announcements and wondering if it will ever be your turn. I know the way your life revolves around it while the world around you goes on. I know life in two-week increments. I know the obsessive tracking, planning, waiting, and testing that takes the fun out of trying. I know the pulling in on yourself and missing baby showers and friends’ kids’ birthday parties because it’s just too much.”
She continued, “I know staying off social media when you see photos from the first day of school. I know the dreaded ‘when are you going to have kids?’ conversation. I know the comments ‘just relax’ and ‘just go on holiday’. I know the physical, emotional and financial strain this places on you and your partner. I know the endless heartbreak every month that doesn’t lead to a pregnancy. I have walked the path and know the sadness. Just know that if you need an ear or a hug, I’m here to talk. 💕.”
