It's so much a part of our stories, it's great to give these babies we never held some recognition. And I didn't take offence at the half circles - I saw them as bumps straight away, but loss is personal and touchy so I can see why some people would. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-kids-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile/page/2#post-2245535 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 23:42:36 +0000 jaguar 2245535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you for letting us remember our lost ones. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-kids-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile/page/2#post-2245355 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 17:10:56 +0000 looch 2245355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why not just use words?</p> <p>I get the idea with the icons, but words are not as open to interpretation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-kids-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile/page/2#post-2245347 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 16:57:26 +0000 mrsrain 2245347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would either do an open circle for pregnancies/loss, or just stick with solid circles for everything. I like the feature, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-kids-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile/page/2#post-2245294 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:42:57 +0000 LaughLines 2245294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Hah! thanks, didn't read the full post because I jumped right to adding my child on ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-kids-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile/page/2#post-2245291 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:39:02 +0000 mrbee 2245291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaughLines: Totally feel you... we'd love to add it to appear in a hover over avatars (or a touch, if you're on a mobile device):</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2015/07/24/adding-children-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2015/07/24/adding-children-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile/</a></p> <p>We'll look into it after the dust settles on this feature! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-kids-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile/page/2#post-2245288 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:34:55 +0000 LaughLines 2245288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this feature! Can you add it to the box that pops up when you hover over an username? So if someone hovered over me they'd see: pink dot - 4 months</p> <p>I would find this useful in interpreting people's posts... when someone replies saying "my LO does such and such" i always wonder how old the baby/kid is and if we could just hover to see that it would be helpful </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-kids-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile/page/2#post-2245283 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:32:17 +0000 mrbee 2245283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: I think it's a little easier to understand what the icons stand for if there are some commonalities between them. If we can make a visual connection between the pregnancy and a miscarriage icons (and the miscarriage/loss icons, and the child/loss icons, etc.), I think it makes it a little easier to intuit what the icons stand for with a quick visual glance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-kids-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile/page/2#post-2245278 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:26:00 +0000 MaryM 2245278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Why not keep the bump for pregnancies and use the empty circles for miscarriages? Then you could also lose the halo that some might not connect with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-kids-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile/page/2#post-2245270 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:16:27 +0000 mrbee 2245270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: Good point about empty circles and pregnancies! </p> <p>Hmm... instead of an empty circle for pregnancies and miscarriages, how about a filled-in circle that is a slightly lighter color than a child/loss? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-kids-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile/page/2#post-2245265 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:11:03 +0000 BadgerMom 2245265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I totally missed the half circle = baby bump. Duh! :silly: Makes much more sense now. I like it for the pregnancy, but I still think it's a little strange from miscarriages. I like adira's suggestion of circles with no fill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-kids-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile/page/2#post-2245261 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:09:25 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2245261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice feature, thanks. I'm not offended by the "bump" symbolizing my miscarriage, fwiw, nor the other symbols, but like the idea of open circles as described. I appreciate you are really limited with the small size of these icons &amp; the intent was all good, so I don't take offense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-kids-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile/page/2#post-2245230 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 14:49:32 +0000 MaryM 2245230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I think empty circles could work fine if you're planning to keep the halos for further distinction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-kids-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile#post-2245228 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 14:48:12 +0000 Truth Bombs 2245228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Maybe just for miscarriages? I don't have particularly strong feelings but the unfilled circle for a pregnant woman gives me a bad vibe. Like an empty womb, which is the opposite of what's happening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-kids-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile#post-2245209 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 14:41:22 +0000 mrbee 2245209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Funny, we were just discussing using unfilled circles as a possible alternative!</p> <p>What do you all think... would unfilled circles (just a colored outline) work for pregnancies and miscarriages? (Children and losses would remain the same.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-kids-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile#post-2245201 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 14:35:51 +0000 Adira 2245201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally don't mind the current shapes being used, but since others have mentioned the half-circle bothers them, what about doing circles for all symbols? Filled in circles for born babies and losses (like what is currently being used) and an unfilled circle (so just the outline) for expected babies and miscarriages. And continue to use the halo for the losses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-kids-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile#post-2245178 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 14:18:10 +0000 Crystal 2245178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I agree with @MaryM, I understand what you were going for, but don't love the imagery for miscarriages. </p> <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: I like this idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-kids-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile#post-2245164 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 13:59:53 +0000 Reese 2245164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this feature. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-kids-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile#post-2245154 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 13:50:31 +0000 Dandelion 2245154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: got it!

I don't call my losses angel babies, but agree it is a universal symbol of baby loss.

It's about being able to easily recognize the members status/situation.</p> <p>ETA: or maybe daisies? puzzle with piece missing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adding-kids-pregnancies-miscarriages-and-angel-babies-to-your-profile#post-2245020 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 12:10:45 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2245020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great feature! I don't like the idea of a halo or angel wings though. I've never liked the term angel baby, even after experiencing losses. I think a half circle or heart is more inclusive. </p>
