Rainbow Babies

So, my 4 year old is my rainbow baby and I worried until I heard her cry. I even got a Doppler that way I could hear her heartbeat and I will worried about her. My son, is the one after her and I worried about him too. I still check their breathing and they're 4 and 2 now.

At 6 months pregnant. It got Better .. but i still worried

My 4yr old is my rainbow. 20 something weeks is when I started to feel a little more relaxed. I had some bleeding around 9 weeks that freaked me out (I miscarried at 10). My high risk OB saw my bi weekly from 5 weeks to 12weeks then switched to a more typical schedule. Until I was about 25-28ish weeks, they couldn’t find her heartbeat with a Doppler and I had an ultrasound every visit. That definitely helped

yeah i think im honestly gonna be the same way . I wanna buy a Doppler myself just been trying to research what a good brand is

When he was born and in my arms I stopped worrying so much but even once he was born the for the week in hospital I was still afraid that our bad reproductive luck will strike again but my worry started to subside about 2 days before I was induced, we had only told about 8 people ( our 2 sons + my boss and husbands boss + father in law and sister in law + my ex husband and my brother) up until two days before I was induced….I literally hid my pregnancy and luckily I didn’t really show and made fashion choices that hid it well up until and 35 weeks…I hid it because Losing a 9th pregnancy and having to deal with other people and their reactions was too much.

wow yeah any type of bleeding would freak me out luckily so far with this one haven't had any of that. I found out late that i was pregnant so don't get my first scan till Tuesday the 12th i have been feeling movement so that has my mind a little at ease but of course still pretty scared . Im little over 18 weeks right now

I worried the whole time I was pregnant. It was less of a worry when I did buy a Doppler and used it each night before bed like clockwork.

I worried the whole time. The worry got less when I got to about 27/28 weeks bc baby’s survival rate is 70-80% if they are born early. I’m on pregnancy number 3 i miscarried the first and was able to have my second and I’m still nervous with this one….. I think it’s something that never quite goes away

I worried the whole pregnancy….anxiety took over every doctors visit .

honestly think that is what I'm gonna do too

I definitely agree with you

I worried the whole pregnancy but it got better after the anatomy scan

I think for us it was a general slow reduction in generalised worry - all of our miscarriages happened relatively early so getting to 12 weeks dropped the worry level for us quite a bit and then when i could regularly feel movement/hiccups and then when we got to 20 weeks that reduced the worry a bit more, and then when we got to the point of possible viability... and then our son was safely born and we moved on to different worries 🤔

I didn't stop worrying until she was in my arms... then the type of worrying just switched. She's going to be 16 months here soon... and I'm still a ball of anxiety most of the time. To be honest, I probably have PTSD from everything I went through, and I know I had PPD/PPA that I never sought help for. I also got very depressed the last 20 weeks of my pregnancy, that I should have sought help for...
So my advice is: seek out help now, and get ahead of this before it consumes you!!

My little one is my rainbow baby and I still worry about her now and she’s 10 months old xx

Thank u everyone for your responses probably should have marked this as sensitive but idk why i didn't. I know it definitely is a sensitive topic . Again thank u for your responses its making me feel alot less alone on how i am currently feeling about it

Ok switched and marked as sensitive .

When he was born and in my arms

I’m currently 35 weeks and 5 days pregnant with a rainbow baby and I still worry about him. Now my fear is how much I’m feeling him move. I feel movement from him everyday but sometimes I wonder if he’s moving enough. I probably won’t stop worrying until I can see and hear him cry when I give birth

I was in bits when I gave birth cause my little girl didn’t cry and I had to go to theatre pretty much straight away xx

same thing happened to me. I worried the whole pregnancy and my son slept in my arms for 2 months straight. At that time I was diagnosed with PPD and meds made it a lot easier to handle. I'm also super attached to him and he's 9 now

Yeah think that's a normal answer
