Nabela Noor, best known to her six million TikTok followers as just Nabela, said she is "forever changed" after she suffered a pregnancy loss this week.

The influencer, 29, explained that she found out she was five weeks pregnant on June 1, following nearly six years of trying to conceive with her husband Seth Martin, reports eonline. 

However, her joy turned to pain when she lost the baby one week later, she said in a YouTube video posted on Friday.

She began by describing how she and Seth found out they were expecting. "I didn't believe it. I took test after test after test, and it was positive, positive, positive, and I was not used to that. I've never been pregnant. Never had a positive test result, and I was so happy. I was so excited and shocked," Nabela said, adding, "We cried so many tears of joy, and I soaked it all in."

Describing it as a "high risk" pregnancy, their "miracle" baby meant even more to the couple because of the challenges they faced. As she said, "I had given up. I was experiencing a period of hopelessness."

The "Pockets of Peace" creator continued, "Little things started to become natural. I would take my hand and just place it on my belly, and I would talk to the baby… I would wake up in the morning and say, ‘Good morning.'" 

Through tears, she shared, "It was a short, short window of time where I got to live in this little fairy tale where I was pregnant, and I was talking about a baby inside me — things I just never thought I could do. Never."

Nabela said she knew "in my heart" it was a boy and had a "beautiful" name picked out. "It was a dream of a week. It was the best week of my life," she reflected. 

However, one week later, she woke up bleeding. "I was in so much pain, and I had been for about a day or so," she recalled. 

She and Seth went to the emergency room on Tuesday, June 8, and were in "limbo" for six hours. "It was just a dark time and it was scary and no one was giving us answers," Nabela added of the "traumatizing experience."

After doctors ran tests and did an ultrasound, she eventually learned she lost the baby.
