Mama’s who have suffered from a miscarriage, can I hear some rainbow baby stories? Like 100% normal, healthy pregnancies following a miscarriage? I’m just feeling down and would love to hear some happy rainbow baby stories right now..
I have a beautiful, healthy 21 month old daughter and we just lost our second baby on Saturday at 11-12 weeks. I feel just lost. Feel free to message me your stories as well.
I am so sorry for your loss! We have been pregnant 6 times and we have 3 sons. We lost our first pregnancy at 8 week. It was a blighted ovum. Our second pregnancy between 8-12 weeks. We don't know exactly because baby didn't form correctly and had no heartbeat. It was also in my right ovary. It was a very scary time not knowing if it was a baby or cancer. It took about 2 week for my hcg to finally start dropping and that's how we knew it was a baby. We had our first son Jensen after that. Easiest pregnancy ever. I had some food aversions, gained 16 pounds and had a fantastic delivery. He wasn't even much of a mover. I have never been hit or kicked or had a baby up in my ribs causing me pain. Our second son Kallan was born a little over a year and a half later. Our fifth pregnancy was very difficult from the very beginning. I had a subchorionic hematoma and my placenta was sitting in top of my cervix. Babies heart stopped 1 day short of 14 weeks. At 14 weeks we had our first d&c. I had retained products and needed Cytotec. It didn't help. I needed a second d&c. 4 months after the original d&c I was at work and felt like I started labor. An ultrasound showed what they thought was a blood clot. They gave me Cytotec again and I passed a mass of calcified retained products that had been there the entire 4 months. Less than a month later we got our positive pregnancy test and our third son Declan 💙💙💙
Both my boys are rainbow babies! I got pregnant within 4 months of each of my miscarriages and my boys are perfect! My pregnancies with them were great! I feel like I was more cautious and paranoid about everything. But everything ended up to be perfect! They were born at 37 and 39 weeks healthy and happy!! Went home with no complications!!
Once our daughter turned one we started the try for baby #2. It took 8 long months to get pregnant and we lost the baby in the second month. After getting my period back, we used preseed and I was pregnant within 3 months. The symptoms were strong right away, my betas were amazing. At 7 weeks we saw our little baby, heartbeat flickering away. At 12 weeks we found out through genetic testing that SHE is perfectly healthy, has a strong heartbeat and absolutely no reason to worry about losing her. My OB says it’s extremely rare to miscarry twice in a row for a healthy couple, and that you’re very fertile after the loss. I’m so sorry that you’re going through this, it hurts like hell in the beginning. Even some days after it’s been months. Give yourself time to heal and surround yourself with positive support ❤️
My first pregnant ended In miscarriage and I laid in bed for 2 weeks just bawling . I was devasted someone took that chance away from me. Then a out 1.5 years later I got pregnant again and I had actually prayed to God to give me a sign my partner and I should stay together because we were going through a tough patch and boom I got pregnant. Then as soon as my period came back after birth we started trying . I fell pregnant again in October 2017 and miscarried as soon as I found out pretty much. I was hurt at first but then I tried to focus on how lucky I was to be a Mom to my first born and I put all my energy into her and just tried to move on. My daughter is now 3.5 and I'm finally pregnant again. Since I've made it further then my last I'm taking that as a good sign and just being as healthy as I can be. Cry momma, scream at the top of your lungs. Try maybe getting a gym membership that helped me with my depression sooooo much ! You got this girl
I suffered two miscarriages last year and I’m currently 7 weeks pregnant. So far everything is looking good but I’m so scared and it’s so hard to stay positive sometimes. I go to the dr tomorrow and they will be scheduling my second ultrasound for the first or second week of may. I’m not out of the woods yet but it’s all in gods hands and I’m trying to have faith in him and stay positive. My fiancé’s cousin has had 2 miscarriages as well and now she is due with her rainbow baby next month 😍😍.
I've never suffered a miscarriage before so I don't know what it's like, I can't imagine. But I have a friend who has suffered 6 miscarriages. She was having a lot of trouble. She just had a perfect healthy child not long ago. And she has 2 other children as well. I have never seen her discouraged and give up hope. I think a lot of it has to do with her support system and her faith. She's a big believer of God has a purpose and a plan. She never looses hope. Maybe try talking your feelings out with your support system and a group if they have one where you are and just keep the faith.
Thank you. I do have a wonderful support system but I also suffer from mental illness- severe depression, bipolar and severe anxiety. And it makes it extremely hard to cope, even with the great support system I have and even having a wonderful daughter all ready. I haven’t let myself get too bad. I’ve wanted to just lay in bed, sulk and cry which is what I would have done before my first child so I’m happy I’ve grown from that but I’m still not the best with coping. I had lost my faith in god for a while, even after being raised Catholic, but recently I have found his presence in my life again but this time in a more positive light than the Catholic religion provided me. I know this happened for a reason and I do believe God has a great plan for my family & I and that he took our child back for his own reasons. But after seeing my beautiful baby’s small features, legs and feet I’m finding it hard to let go. I’m so afraid for what the future has in store.
@kikimama People grieve in a lot of different ways. Crying and sulking is healthy as long as it's a short while. It's completely understandable. And I bet it is harder with mental illness. Hopefully this is just a rough patch that you can overcome
@anicole3285, thank you, love. You’re right, it is normal even if I feel as if it’s my depression it is NORMAL to grieve whether you have depression or not. I appreciate the kind words.
