Jamie, 32, revealed Sunday on Instagram she had a chemical pregnancy, which is an early pregnancy loss that occurs shortly after implantation, according to Healthline.

Jamie apparently experienced a chemical pregnancy only days after posting a photo of a pregnancy test on social media that could arguably have been positive or negative.
"Sorry I've been MIA, this very bizarre positive pregnancy test then negative test then faint positive lines gave me hope that Gracie was going to become a big sis in 9 months, but the night before last I began having terrible contraction -- like pains & spotting. Then over the night full blown everything -- if you know what i mean," Jamie captioned a photo of herself holding daughter Henley Grace.

Jamie disclosed in April that she and her husband were trying for another baby so one-year-old Henley could have a sibling to play with.
"I'm a nurse so I had my suspicions; but my midwife confirmed I had a chemical pregnancy. I don't know why some people have it seemingly SO easy to get preggers & carry their babies to term and others struggle," Jamie wrote.
"What i do know is that i am so, so thankful for this little girl [and her daddy] right here. It's like she knew mommy was in so much pain bc she just wanted to be held and snuggled all night long."

Jamie and Doug, who tied the knot on Season 1 of Married at First Sight, welcomed Henley in August 2017. However, the road to becoming parents was anything but smooth, as the pair had suffered through a painful miscarriage one year earlier.

In July 2016, Jamie and Doug announced they had lost a baby boy they named Johnathan Edward four months into her pregnancy.
"I also want to THANK YOU. I was hoping that if I put it out there that maybe all your prayers & positive energy would help me along this pregnancy because there is no doubt in my mind that all your support & encouragement while i was pregnant with Gracie helped me have such a smooth pregnancy. I'll forever be grateful for YOU," Jamie continued in her post.
"We have to wait a cycle before trying again, but I am on a mission to make Gracie a big sis now... has this happened to anyone else where you go through a loss & then all you want -- the only healing thought -- is to become pregnant with a healthy pregnancy?! This happened to me after our sweet Johnathan & the same feelings have come back."
Jamie then expressed appreciation to "the most loving, supportive, positive little community" on her Instagram account.

"I feel like I have a million sisters/friends who i call my 'frans' right here & I appreciate you, your prayers, your thoughts & words of love for me & my little family more than you'll ever know!" Jamie concluded.
"I love YOU. Thank you. #mafs #marriedatfirstsight #og #ttc #pregnancyjourney #momlife #pregnancyloss #tryingtoconceive #pregnancylossawareness #pregnancy #loss #awareness #rainbowbaby #remain #thankful #and #grateful."
