They don't know, and that helps a little bit. So it's not that he was asking me, 'Where is the baby?' Thank God. My son always talked about, 'Oh, baby Mason,' and I showed him my belly. Because my son is 2 and a half, my daughter is 1 and a half, they don't understand yet. We are lucky we have two healthy children. How are your two children doing? How are you doing parenting through grief? And obviously, you went through it, so you probably know. It's been a very stressful couple of days and very, very emotional. 'What the hell happened?' We are hoping the autopsy will tell us something, but I do know that sometimes they just can't find the reason. There are a lot of questions that we are asking. So a fully developed baby who looked totally normal. He was a healthy weight, too: 7 pounds, 4 ounces. He looked a lot like when my son Aiden was born - same features, same nose, lips. We chose to see the baby after he was born, because I wanted to see what he looked like. We didn't even think about the middle name yet. Maya Vander: We were going back and forth between boys' names, and I wanted to choose a name that wasn't as common.

'What did he look like? How much did he weigh?' Do you want to tell us his name and a little bit about him? Kate Suddes: In my experience, there are all of these questions and comments you receive when you give birth to a baby that lives that people don't ask you when you have a stillbirth. I spoke with her over Zoom while, in the most heartbreaking of multitasking, she was at the funeral home picking out a plot and gravestone with her husband. I had the conflicted pleasure of meeting her in this common ground, at once an honor and one I would gladly return in exchange for different circumstances. My son, Paul, was stillborn nine years ago about four weeks shy of his due date. 10.Ī part of me always holds my breath at pregnancy announcements, because I have been where Maya is, where everything is fine and healthy until it very suddenly is not. She was just two weeks away from her due date and gave birth to her stillborn son, Mason, on Dec. Last week, Maya learned that her son’s heart had stopped beating. I watched the Selling Sunset scene, filmed a few months ago, with the unfortunate knowledge of what’s to come, which makes it even more heartbreaking. 'Sometimes I’m like, ‘What the hell was I thinking?’ But, I’m happy. “So shocking, I’m pregnant again,' she says. Immediately following, there is a cutaway interview. And she replies “Which baby? Number one, number two, or number three?” She smiles and rubs her midsection, and everyone screams and hugs her. When she arrives at a celebratory work dinner party, someone asks after her babies. She’s been either pregnant or postpartum for much of the show’s running, which is lovingly joked about with her coworkers.

She is already a mother to a son and daughter, both under the age of 3.

Early in Season 4 of Netflix’s Selling Sunset, Maya Vander shares the news of her most recent pregnancy with her castmates.
