About Tracy McLaughlin Jaskot

Tracy McLaughlin Jaskot is an elementary educator in Massachusetts and mom to four children – her angel son Brayden and her three rainbows, Ainsley Hope, Holden Matthew, and Raelyn Noelle. She and her husband Matt lost their first son Brayden at 24 weeks gestation in May 2014 to undiagnosed severe pre-eclampsia which led to a complete concealed placental abruption. Tracy has learned and grown from his stillbirth in more ways than she could have ever imagined. The PALS community has been vital in her subsequent pregnancies, shifting her experience from understandable anxiety to embracing pregnancy with hope.
