Influencer India Batson is opening up about suffering a third pregnancy loss.
“My third pregnancy loss 💔,” Batson, 31, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, February 7. “I can’t believe I’m sharing this news this way. Daniel and I were so excited and honestly shocked to find out I was pregnant the very first cycle I ovulated. I found out in January, just 9 months postpartum.”
She continued, “We immediately started picturing life with two under two. Loud, chaotic and full of joy!! This week, at an ultrasound, we learned our baby had stopped growing. I had a missed miscarriage and later a D&C, as my body would not pass our baby on its own.”
Batson, who welcomed son Arlo in April 2025, went on to note that “three pregnancy losses is truly horrific.”
“There are no other words,” she wrote. “No woman should ever leave the hospital without her baby. We are sad, angry, confused, and heartbroken. The emotions feel endless. I’d be lying if didn’t I said I thought this loss would somehow be ‘easier’ because I now have a child. It isn’t.”
She continued, “Losing a baby is gut-wrenching no matter the circumstances. This baby was deeply loved, cherished, and celebrated. We are grateful for the short time we had with them. Until we meet again, our angel baby. I know you are with your two siblings until we arrive 🤍.”
Batson shared that her family is “wrestling with God in our anger,” but noted that “He’s a big God who can handle our emotions and mourn with us.”
“My greatest testimony will always be continuing to praise God through pregnancy losses. He remains the same good God in both the highs and the lows,” she wrote. “We pray He will somehow use this pain for His glory. I’ve longed for heaven since losing my first child … but now knowing I have three babies waiting for me feels like an unimaginable gift honestly!?!? I’m a mommy of 4 beautiful babies!!! What a joyful reunion that will be. 👼👼👼.”
She concluded, “I have a story highlight on my page for pregnancy loss resources. You do NOT have to go through this alone. Your baby mattered, your grief is real and you are seen and loved! 🩷🩷🩷 #miscarriage #pregnancyloss #miscarriageawareness #miscarriagesupport.”
Alongside the message, Batson shared a black-and-white photo of her placing a hand over her stomach while wearing a hospital gown. In text written over the photo, Batson reflected on her emotions.
“The days are long and hard. I’m grieving and healing both physically and emotionally all while caring for my sweet, miracle baby. I feel lost in a fog that won’t lift?” she wrote. “I can’t find my car when I leave a place, can’t find my purse in the gym locker, can’t speak clearly or function properly frankly. And maybe I’m not supposed to. Maybe it’s a reminder to simply rest and bestill and let my body and soul heal.”
Batson went on to note that she has “always chosen to share these moments” with her more than 182,000 Instagram followers in the hopes that it “makes one person feel less alone.”
“Pregnancy loss is the most isolating experience of my life,” she wrote. “And I want you to know you are NEVER alone. I have a story highlight on my page of resources for you (and myself I’ve joined the Zoom calls before with fellow loss moms.) If you found this post because you are going through a loss YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS.”
She concluded, “It might be the hardest thing you ever do but you will. I love you and see you and I’m so sorry for your loss from the bottom of my heart. Your baby mattered, only knew love and has the BEST mommy. Share below if you are seeking community.”
