“Pregnancy after a loss has not been easy”: Mason Marchment’s wife opens up on challenges of expecting again after prenatal loss of first child

On Sunday, Seattle Kraken forward Mason Marchment’s wife Lexy shared a series of emotional Instagram stories revealing they are expecting another baby boy. Earlier last year, the couple had shared the heartbreaking news that they had suffered a miscarriage with their first child.

In the first story, Lexy explained that she accidentally found out the gender before Mason, so she ran to the mall to buy a blue onesie for him to open. The second photo showed the striped baby outfit with golf-themed designs placed beside a gift bag.

“Excited to have another boy to love 💙,” she added in the story.

Lexy also reflected on the mental challenges of being pregnant again after experiencing a prenatal loss. She thanked her husband, her OB and close friends for their support throughout this difficult journey.

“Thanks so much for all the love. Pregnancy after a loss has not been easy mentally. Every symptom, ultrasound and week has been so exciting but all surrounded by anxiety. Grateful for my husband, the world’s best OB and now a forever friend @julesklein927, God, and all my girls that have been my backbone through it all.”

She also offered words of encouragement and solidarity to other women going through similar experiences.

“To all the women trying to conceive, experiencing loss or going through a pregnancy after loss, I see you, I’m here for you and I’ll continue to pray for you. ❤️”
