Expecting mom who posed with 20,000 bees suffers stillbirth

An 33-year-old mother of three, Emily Mueller, from Ohio grabbed a lot of attention after she posed with 20,000 bees on her belly for her fourth baby’s maternity photo shoot. However, the woman ended up suffering stillbirth few days back.

In September, Emily shot for a unique maternity photo shoot, which went viral and the news about this was even published on almost every news outlet. Emily posed with the bees on her belly and she was bitten by the bees during the shoot not once but thrice.

The mother, however, believes strongly that her baby’s death did not happen because of the bees and it was due to a blood coagulation problem that is common in her family for miscarriages.

A few days back, Emily shared the sad news of the death of the baby with everyone through a Facebook post. The mother to be wrote a heartbreaking post along with pictures of her late son, who was named Emersyn Jacob by her and husband Ryan Mueller.

“Yesterday evening we had to hand over our precious child and say goodbye to his physical body forever. Our baby has died. Our baby will never come home with us,” she wrote. “This wonderful rainbow baby we were blessed with has now become a storm in our lives.”

“Finding out your baby died is unfathomable. Learning you have to be induced and deliver your deceased child is way beyond that. My heart instantly ached for any woman that has told me she had a stillborn.” Emily and Ryan have three other children Cadyn, Madelynn and Westyn. Emily, a beekeeper and owner of Mueller Honey Bee and Rescue, first got into beekeeping as a way to cope after suffering several miscarriages.

Emily and her husband went to the hospital after she felt contractions and but the couple learnt that the baby had no heartbeat and that he had died six days before the due date. “Bees represent the beginning of new life and after my second miscarriage, I needed a new release,” she told PEOPLE in September. “I connected with the bees and it helped take my mind off of other hardships that were surrounding me at the time, some people do yoga… I do bees.”
