Sarah Herron announced that she and her husband, Dylan Brownare expecting rainbow twins after losing their son Oliver in January 2023.
“Today's appointment went well, the babies are growing well! Next appointment in 3 weeks,” Herron, 37, wrote via her Instagram Story on Tuesday, January 16, revealing the exciting news alongside an ultrasound. 'The babies look so round and chub! Little Rolly Pollies!”
She added: “Fk long enough with IVF and one day you might have multiples.”
Herron revealed that when she went for her first ultrasound, there were actually “three gestational sacs,” meaning “baby A” was trying to “split and become identical twins, but a yoke and fetal pole never developed,” causing she was left with two. little ones instead. “SOOO… this means I had a heart attack for about 15 seconds and was going to have triplets,” she said.
The Bachelor education alum exclusively revealed We weekly in September 2022 that she was pregnant with her and Brown's first child after undergoing IVF treatments. Four months later, she shared on Instagram that the couple's son, Oliver, died hours after giving birth.
“On January 28, at 24 weeks old, our beautiful son Oliver Brown was born. He died shortly afterwards in his father's arms,” she wrote at the time. “There are no words to express the magnitude of the loss and pain we are experiencing. It's beautiful and tragic at the same time. He had my nose, his father's mouth and long fingers.”
Herron went on to describe the impact the couple's son had on them. “Oliver, our IVF miracle, braved so many adversities and fought through so many difficult milestones to be here, but the higher powers still had other plans for the three of us,” she continued. “Our time together was short, but we are grateful for the days we had with Oliver in my belly. He has taught us so much about the integrity of life, love and death. Oliver filled our home and hearts with so much love and, above all, optimism. The stars came together to create Baby Oliver with a deep, meaningful purpose that is greater than we will ever understand. His body was small, but his legacy will always be larger than life for us.”
A month later, Brown broke his silence, sharing via Instagram that he and Herron would be “unpacking” their pain “for years to come.” “Most likely for the rest of our lives – but we were strong for each other, for Oliver, and through love we found a way through,” he wrote. “Knowing that Oliver is gone is painful, but the loss of a dream was the real sting, and still is.”
Herron announced via Instagram in June that she underwent an embryo transfer for the first time since Oliver's death, but the process was unsuccessful. “We were so hopeful and intuitively I really felt that it had worked this time,” she said. 'I've never been so wrong. We always knew this was possible. Even with perfect embryos… things don't always go as planned.”
Herron spoke exclusively Us in August that she planned to do another embryo transfer in October, but she would consider doing another egg retrieval or using an egg or embryo donor if she didn't become pregnant. “We are going to use the last of our embryos and if we don't have a pregnancy by the end of the year, [we’re] either back to the drawing board, or plan B, plan C and so on,” she explained.
