Hi. What is a rainbow baby? x

Avatar

after having a MC, people say rainbow baby itโ€™s symbols the light and beauty after the dark time losing a baby x

I don't understand. The post says pregnant with a rainbow baby. Does that mean pregnant but the baby has passed away inside you and you're still carrying the baby? ๐ŸฅบI'm sorry for the questions I just see alot of women have it in their profile and I don't understand x

A rainbow baby is the pregnancy after a loss you can also find more indepth information on google or pregnancy website if needed. but i think explained it well

Your explanation is better. She said after a MC people say rainbow baby..... You have said its the baby you carry after a MC which now makes more sense.


If I had listened to the other comment i would have thought the baby that passed is the rainbow baby. When tying to understand something you havnt gone through, a clear explanation is important, especially as I want to understand and don't want to hurt anyone's feelings by saying the wrong thing.

sorry didnโ€™t mean to not explain it properly in my head thought it made sense. Didnโ€™t have to be patronising but glad youโ€™ve got a better explanation and now know ๐Ÿค

and thatโ€™s understandable. are you pregnant with your first baby as well

๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฅบ I wasn't being patronising. I just didn't want to offend anyone I'm currently having a conversation in my dms with a lady regarding rainbow babies and saw this post as the perfect opportunity to gain clarity. Why be rude about it. I tried my best to understand something and I'm been called patronising. Let me just leave this post.


Thank you for explaining the concept to me I greatly appreciate it. I'm happy to DM but I'm going to remove myself from this post before I get called the angry black woman. Honestly I don't know what I didn't wrong by asking. I should never have commented. Take care Queen x

I don't think the other lady is understanding I would have been out here referring to rainbow babies as babys who have passed away and that could greatly offend some women. Some women maybe would have been understanding due to my lack of knowledge but its also triggering for some people. Honestly this who situation has ruined my morning. Who knew trying to educate myself would result in been spoken to like a peice of crap ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพ

Feeling guilty on first born

Iโ€™m being induced on Friday and Iโ€™ve just put my little girl to bed and am so upset that it wonโ€™t be just us anymore. Obviously weโ€™re so excited for her new sister but I just feel guilty and sad that things wonโ€™t be the same again.

Does anyone else feel like this? ๐Ÿ˜ž๐Ÿ˜ž๐Ÿ˜ž

Goal weight gain:

So Iโ€™m 6 weeks pregnant with my second baby. With my first baby I gained the maximum recommended weight weight for my starting weight I was 165lbs (give or take a little) I got up to 190lbs.
With this pregnancy my starting is 148lbs my goal is to gain no more than 25lbs and for the first trimester try not to gain any weight at all.

I have people in my life that think I need to just eat what ever and not take care of my self (in the sense of eating whatever I want and not working out anymore) because Iโ€™m pregnant. Now donโ€™t get me wrong I eat my cravings but I donโ€™t over indulge and I also am over all more into healthier and filling meals.

I get hungry about 4-6 times a day and if I donโ€™t eat I get seriously sick so I have adjusted my life to make it work.

My poll is: do/did you have really bad cravings?

37 weeks ! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

I literally only have two doctor appointments left until I'm supposed to be due . I'm super excited and nervous at the same time, but I went to the doctor and I'm only one centimeter dilated so I'm just curious if any other first time moms gave birth earlier than their due date or is normal to go past your due date ? TIA โ˜บ๏ธ

Dumb question

So Iโ€™m 35 weeks and 3 days and Iโ€™m starting to experience Braxton hicks and it just started Friday. I do have an ob appointment on Friday coming up. Has anybody else experienced Braxton hick and were you dilated before your next appointment?

6 months pp

1. I can not believe my baby is 6 months on the 26th :,)
2. When did everyone wait to get pregnant with #2?
3. Did anyone get pregnant at 6 months plans have a vbac? Or a fully successful pregnancy?
