Jamie Otis’ Miscarriages
Jamie met her husband, Doug Hehner during the first season of Married at First Sight in 2014. Two years later, they found out they were expecting a child. However, little Johnathan would not make it past Jamie’s 17th week of pregnancy.
Although she later conceived and gave birth to a little girl, heartbreak would come once again for the couple. Their third pregnancy would end in another miscarriage at just 10 weeks. Then, for 18 months, they would receive several negative pregnancy tests until one day, that test came back positive.
The couple is currently pregnant with a little boy due in May.

But besides the normal pregnancy insomnia and endless cravings, it’s flying by… I never want to forget Jonathan and I plan on telling them about Henley and this baby about their baby brother in heaven when they’re older.”
