    TrailBLAZER: Dr. Aimee Baron on 'I Was Supposed to Have a Baby

    Dr. Aimee Baron is the founder of I Was Supposed to Have a Baby, but her journey started long before that. A lifelong dreamer of becoming a pediatrician, she built her career caring for other people's children all while silently grieving her own losses. After suffering six miscarriages, including four in the second trimester, she finally became pregnant with her twins. But even in her deepest pain, no one around her was talking about pregnancy loss or fertility treatment. So instead of staying silent, she built what she needed: a community. I Was Supposed to Have a Baby was born so no one else would have to walk that road alone. This conversation is raw, vulnerable, and a powerful reminder that you can hold heartbreak in one hand and hope in the other.
