Influencer Justene Alpert Trueblood<\/b> is opening up about her decision to have an abortion<\/a> after the fetus was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn December 22, my happiness, and if we are being completely honest, my light was taken from me. It was a short phone call outside my office. It was calm and frantic at the same time,\u201d Trueblood, 36, wrote via Instagram<\/span><\/a> on Monday, June 22. \u201cI was pregnant and entering my second trimester. My husband and I were just beginning the rounds of telling our close family and friends, and sadly, our little tour came to a halt that day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trueblood\u2019s doctor informed her that her pregnancy was no longer viable after the fetus was\u00a0 \u201cdiagnosed with a rare genetic disease.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey needed to rush me to our genetic specialist to confirm the nightmare. He wasn\u2019t going to make it<\/a> to full time,\u201d Trueblood recalled. \u201cI heard the phrase that I never imagined hearing when we were ready to have a family: \u2018We highly recommend that you terminate this pregnancy and we need to do it quickly if so.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIt has been a difficult road to parenthood for many celebrity parents, including Chrissy Teigen and John Legend. After in vitro fertilization didn\u2019t work on the first try, Teigen wondered if she had done something wrong. \u201cYou just look for anything to blame, especially yourself,\u201d Teigen explained to New York Magazine\u2019s The Cut in April [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

She continued, \u201cOn December 29, we had to say \u2018goodbye\u2019 to our son. I was a mess, although I tried to walk into Pre-Op with grace and poise. I kept repeating in my head, \u2018She is clothed in dignity and strength.\u2019 \u2026 I\u2019ll share this, in case you feel alone or scared, Don\u2019t ever try to be \u2018OK.\u2019 It\u2019s OK not to be OK. Bawling? Normal. Throwing up from the grief and trauma? Didn\u2019t know this \u2026 Normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Justene further recalled how she and her husband, Mason Trueblood<\/b>, \u201cdesperately prayed for either a miracle or a miscarriage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t want to have to make this decision. No mom or dad should ever have to be put in this place,\u201d the influencer stated. \u201cThe same and guilt is unfair. Having to do this is something that is rarely spoken of and seems to not have the same kind of empathy as other situations. It\u2019s the worst pain and many suffer silently out of fear of being judged or simply misunderstood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Justene explained that her son \u201cmade his way back to heaven\u201d<\/a> ahead of the new year, which she and Mason spent grieving their loss.<\/p>\n
