Life Two Years On - Baby Loss, Rainbows & Pregnancy!
A brief update! Life has never been the same since we lost our beautiful boy in 2020. We have been blessed with a rainbow baby girl and expecting another little boy in the early summer. I expected the anxiety to be there throughout the pregnancy, but not to remain for the whole first year of our daughters life.
Thank you for your kind words, stories & reassurance. And my deepest condolences to those who have also lost a precious child. 🧡

    I am so sorry for your loss. I went through 2 miscarriages. 1st one was about 4 weeks. 2nd one was a Etopic pregnancy and I lossed my Fallopian tube. That one I landed in the hospital and I was lucky I didn't die. After that, we tried and I couldn't conceive. I hear your pain and I pray you heal and are at peace with what's happened. A coworker of ours, her daughter became pregnant at 16 a wanted the baby to have a better upbringing than she could give. We adopted her baby. It was a boy. On Dec. 14th hes turning 24 this year! He's been a blessing to us.

    I had my first little baby yesterday that was stillborn. We see on the scan on July 26th that her heart stopped beating (today is Aug 2nd). I did have the gift of natural delivery for her so we were able to have our parents come to meet our sweet Rosie. She was so little and my heart is aching

    My angel returned to heaven a week after he was born. I’m a nurse too. Many many regrets. I feel I failed him as a mom, too. Having to plan out an autopsy, a burial, many major decisions have to be made when I haven’t accepted his death. It’s very hard on the dad- yes. I feel you 100%. Don’t be hard on yourself, is what you’d say to me, but ironic how we can’t offer ourselves the same empathy. Good luck to you ❤❤❤

    I’m so sorry for this loss and also my question. I’m pregnant an super scared of anything happening to baby. I want a natural birth so much Do you think If you had a c section while he was still kicking would he be alive ? I’m sorry for this question I just want to learn as much as I can Do you wish they gave you a c section earlier Could you have know before if the cord was wrapped around so tight Could the professionals have recommended something to prevent this horror??

    Moms need to stop going past due dates. Its a higher chance of stillbirth after 40 weeks because the placenta starts to struggle.

    So brave to tell your story and (unless I misunderstood) I am so sad that you were let down by your midwife - surely no one should get to 40+5 weeks without being in hospital with constant monitoring! Even at just over 40 weeks mums are often induced to get things happening. The shock and grief you describe is just awful and I really hope you get lots of help.

    I’m sorry for your loss and all of you who have lost a baby but…a C-section is no more dangerous than a vaginal delivery and actually I know a lot more horror stories from vaginal deliveries. Actually you just named one of the reasons that kill moms and that’s babies getting stuck. Live babies. My son got stuck and had bruises on both eyes from forceps. He was born healthy after the C-section that saved my life too! He weighed 9ibs 12 ounces. My cousin had a baby the month before that weighed 11lbs and it was a mess for her but her baby lived but they had to break his shoulder to get him out! I had three C-sections and the last two were very easy. Morphine is horrible I agree. The last C-section I spent maybe ten hours in hospital.

    Dear Holly, I have to agree with you that the dressing up, pictures, etc. of the dead baby is confusing and I don't know if I agree with that. Many ears ago, I went to an exposition called Body World. What struck me the most was the private small room, on the side, closed by a curtain, with foetus of different ages. They were put on a little black fabric on the display and there was music, very low and calm. To me, it conveyed the reality of the beauty of life but also of the reality of death, as I fathomed that these mini babies had belonged to someone, who grieved the interruption on their little life.

    Thank you so much for your testimony. My husband and I lost our first baby girl on October 14th of this year. I’m 7 weeks post-partum today. She was my first ever pregnancy. I’ve never experienced any pregnancy before her. And what hurts more is that my pregnancy experience was just amazing. No nausea, no aversion to foods, no preeclampsia, no GDM… She was born asleep at 39.4. Just yesterday I learned she passed due to an umbilical embolism/thrombosis. Having that bit of knowledge helps me in some way, it gives me some form of closure. We definitely want to expand our family and your story gave me so much insight on what emotions might come up when we choose to have another. Your baby boy will always be there with y’all. 💞 I always try to comfort my husband and I by telling ourselves that our baby girl wouldn’t want to see her mommy and daddy sad. It’s been so tough. Thank you. ❤

Came to your video cuz im losing my mind with anxiety and needed to hear another mamas experience with this so thank you I totally understand wanting another boy. I wanted another girl too and I got her but my husband wanted a boy cuz the girl was too painful for him at first. We are so excited now though but again really anxious.

I agree it won't be a way to replace her, she is part of the family now even if she is not here anymore.

    Everything you say. The lack of purpose and wanting to be pregnant asap. It’s Henrik’s first birthday this august and we’ve still not been able to fall pregnant. The life or death feeling is how I feel everyday since we lost him. The fear of he was it, he was our miracle. It’s so not about replacing them. Sorry for commenting so much, I just feel everything you say and experience it all too.

  • @kmontgomery3690

    We had 7 early losses and then we were blessed with our miracle boy, he died at 41 weeks weighing 9.3lbs he was so long and big, I had started early labour and was checked the night before and all was fine. So much of what you said I experienced myself too. I profusely apologised to my husband because I blamed myself. My little boy had so much meconium too we thought that was what caused it at first. I had a bad infection but it was prior to his death but also because of the meconium. My placenta had lesions and infected parts of it. He died from hypoxia officially. He was back to back so it was an agonising labour and I have large memory holes but I luckily had a wonderful birth and he somehow turned the right way on his way out, I was with it for that part, I loved feeling him come out. I’m so sorry all what you went through.

    I think therapy is seriously what you need to enjoy the beautiful children you have been blessed with . Leo wants you to live & be happy with life & his siblings that no doubt he is there watching over you all...what I can say is that your fear is absolutely natural as a Mother & then put what you have been through in top of normal parenting anxiety but my advice because I did this type of behavior with my 1st born .. so blessed my baby born at 27 weeks survived but my fear crippled my child's childhood & she has such bad anxiety she is legally disabled due to hé debilitating Anxiety, panic attacks & severe depression. My over protective nature really caused significant damage. I don't blame you one bit & that's why I do believe therapy would be really beneficial to you and your family on a long-term basis does not have to be in tents or anyting just something to keep you focused on the good in the positive and not living in fear and anxiety you know life that's just not fair to you after all you've been through you deserve this joy and happiness and a little boy up there is rooting for you and and wants his family to be as happy as I can possibly so do it for Leo show him how strong mommy is and just learn to heal a little bit from that grief that is robbing you of your joy and peace❤ I hope that makes sense? Just a little advice that's all and I wish you the very best congrats on all three of you are beautiful children❤❤❤
