  • Winter from ‪@StillAPartofUs‬ shares her story about how she decided she was ready to get pregnant again after giving birth to her son Brannan who was stillborn at 39 weeks pregnant. She not only shares her story, but offers advice for other women that are considering trying to get pregnant again after their own stillbirth experiences.
    My biggest takeaway from this interview was learning more about how to create space and offer support to someone that is juggling all the emotions that come with pregnancy after a stillbirth. Thank you Winter for the insights and for sharing your personal story as well!

      I had 2 very healthy pregnancies over 30 years ago. We just started the practice of ultrasounds back then, and it never occurred to me that this was a possibility. I never knew anyone who delivered a still born baby, miscarriages yes. I didn't even know still births happened unless there was a trauma, or some type of abnormality in the fetus. And I'm a nurse!
      We didn't count movements, or do anything to make a mom aware of a problem. I hate watching so many excited families fall into such grief that comes with a stillbirth. My heart aches for you all, and hope that you will be blessed someday with a family whether of your own flesh and blood or a baby that comes by adoption. Either way, I hope you continue to find solace from this channel.

    Winter: You do such a great job allowing moms and dads to tell their stories without talking about your situation. I find it annoying when I'm trying to tell an important story to someone, and the first chance they get, start telling me something that was similar in their lives. It is important that people just listen, and allow the person sharing to be able to talk, without someone telling about a similar experience. You are doing everything right as a podcast host.

    I am so so sorry for the loss of your baby boy.. I have lost my (first) baby girl on my due date 12th of October 2023 and where I have got pregnant after 7 years of my marriage life. She was very healthy with 4.05 kgs weight and the reason they have said was bradycardia.. I had to go through emergency csection too.. It's very difficult to come home without my baby girl and to see all her new things which we have bought with whole lot of dreams and her empty room.. I felt like my heart was ripped from my chest ☹️ God is our only hope and I am very sure He will give her back to me very soon and I am going to hold her in my arms with great joy!!

    Thanks for this! I’m 33 weeks in my pregnancy after my stillborn daughter. I was so detached until now . Now I realize I don’t know how to plan for a living baby but still planning for birth. It is a different journey for sure. I would also like to add: dare asking for help or asking friends and family when you need to talk. To me, it helps big time.
    And I also dislike the “rainbow baby” term. I feel it puts to much pressure on my actual baby to be perfect after my daughter that I will idealized my whole life.

    I had a stillborn son at 27 weeks in July of 2022. In Sept of 2023 we got pregnant again, and successfully gave birth in May of 2024. But like Winter said, after a loss, your heart and mind are traumatized, and subsequent pregnancies will be filled with new worries. With my last pregnancy, we decided to buy a home baby Doppler, which we used almost everyday to check his heartbeat. I also downloaded the Counting Kicks app, which I used starting at 25 weeks. I also agree with being our own advocate to doctors and nurses, even if they call us hypochondriacs. 😅 Thank you Winter for sharing your story! 💙

    Winter hit on a very important thing, and something I really encourage patent I work with having a baby again after the loss of an infant, is that they don't want to hold back from being involved in this new pregnancy and loving this baby for who they are. In our case it was our daughter who, even though young herself, pointed out that that was what we were doing. In her mind we were being unfair to her expected sibling and looking back I am glad she woke us up to what was happening. During my pregnancy with her, and her sister that was stillborn, I had kept pregnancy memory books, which were something she periodically really enjoyed reviewing, along with the baby book, I kept that recorded her first 7 years. I was about 14 weeks pregnant when she decided to take us to task for not having started a pregnancy book for her new brother ( we knew the gender from early DNA testing that is done at the facility we used for high risk pregnancies - which they placed any mother in that was having a pregnancy after a still birth especially if the reason was unclear as to what had happened). She was 8 at teh time and one night at dinner pointed out that not having started a book for her brother was unfair as we already hit important things that had been recorded and documented so well for her and her sister and she really thought that it was already unfair as her brother would not have a book about him as she had that she really loved having and thought very important. In her own way she jarred us into realizing that we were avoiding making and rejoicing in memories simply as away to protect ourselves. The next day she and I went shopping for a scrap book to start a pregnancy book and in 2 days had gotten her brother's pregnancy book caught up to the current week of pregnancy. I had a lot of problems with sometimes being forced to update the book at least weekly but after a very normal delivery with a healthy baby that we had those memories that we captured when they happened and how horrible I would have felt to have not had them recorded and a lot of that lost to time.
    When I started working full time with NICU parents and eventually started working with parent groups for those having whats become known as Rainbow babies, keeping such a memory book has actually ended up being a very important therapeutic tools, as it has helped many parents who are steeling themselves against what they believe will be an inevitable repeat of the past, at least make memories of the current pregnancy and a connection with the new life they are carrying. Its been very helpful in cases where a mother is having some initial problems connecting once the child is born and is healthy to go back and read through the book which one mother told me had the connections she was looking for between its covers and how as she read through and reminded her of things that she was actually blocking out caused things to click and she suddenly felt very connected to her new baby. In other cases it help parents etablis a pre-birth relationship they feared with a child that they were having after having lost a baby. And actually, have even been told by the cases where history sadly repeated itself that, they were happy as the grieved a second child that they had a record of their pregnancy which really was something they needed as part of healing again. Many pointed out that they did not realize when they lost their first child how important their prenatal relationship and memories had been while working through the loss, but they were definitely avoiding making those connections the next time, which they realized would have made going through it a second time more difficult if they had not been forced by keeping such a journal to make the connection and the memories that had helped the first time.

She said she was glad she didn't have to but she asks all her guests how the whole pregnancy went. But not her. She said if that happened she would cry. I'm sorry but she should have to go through what her guests go through as she pushes them all for every detail. She did hit the highlights but fjr her to say"I was hoping you wouldn't be asking me about the whole pregnancy because I would probably cry". Not fair as that's what she does to her guests
