16. JFK & Jackie’s Pregnancy Nightmare
Back to JFK’s troubled life: Yes, his life didn’t only end tragically but he had some bumps along the away as many of us do. JFK and Jackie Kennedy suffered tremendous loss during their first attempts at starting a family. The first time the couple endured the heartbreak of a miscarriage. The couple had trouble carrying a pregnancy to term, and Jackie gave birth to a stillborn daughter, Arabella, in 1956. The couple continued to try and in 1963 Jackie had a C-section and gave birth to a baby boy, Patrick. Unfortunately Patrick was premature and died two days after entering this cold world.
