How many losses are you in your journey of healing from, when were they, &amp; how far along were you? </p> <p>Just one- lost baby at 9 weeks and had a D&amp;C in March 2014.</p> <p>2. Do you have a/any live child(ren)? If so, is/are they your rainbow baby/babies?</p> <p>One 23 month old daughter, she is not my rainbow baby. </p> <p>3. If you had a recent loss (within the last 12 mths) are you currently ttc for your rainbow baby? Or are you pregnant with your rainbow baby, how far along?</p> <p>Currently pregnant (5w2d) with our rainbow baby... had some pretty heavy bleeding yesterday so went to midwife and saw sac... which is to be expected at this early stage. </p> <p>4. How have you coped with your loss, how about your SO or other live children? </p> <p>It was very difficult for me at first, and soon after I felt that everyone was announcing pregnancies... I stopped reading blogs and unfollowed a lot of people on IG for a while. It has gotten better with time, but all of those fears are back now that I'm pregnant again.</p> <p>5. Share you triumphs in healing.</p> <p>Being able to love on my daughter has been the best healing/medicine for me. Her laugh repairs the holes in my heart.</p> <p>6. Are you having a bad day.... share away. </p> <p>Not as bad as yesterday (see above re: bleeding). Today, I am pregnant (and exhausted). Thankful to be able to be on this journey again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-in-for-moms-of-angel-babies-how-are-you-doing-part-i/page/3#post-1765102 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 13:55:54 +0000 Tidybee 1765102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Keppa: What a cute little boy.

I was with my 23mo son and our friends today at the park. A woman there had a 2 year old littl girl and a 5mo (I'm guessing) baby girl. The baby started crying when she was put into her stroller and my son shot up and asked to "see the baby." We went over and he stood, stroking the baby's foot, saying "it's ok baby. don't be scared baby. it's just a plane" (not why she was crying, but amazingly sweet). She stopped crying and just smiled away at him. Everyone kept commenting on what an amazing big brother he'll be someday.....<br /> I know he will be too...</p> <p>Just needed someone to share with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-in-for-moms-of-angel-babies-how-are-you-doing-part-i/page/2#post-1760974 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 20:10:03 +0000 Tidybee 1760974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: So pretty! What a lovely reminder. I just bought a ring for my right hand as a little remembrance of my baby but also to hope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-in-for-moms-of-angel-babies-how-are-you-doing-part-i/page/2#post-1706186 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 21:05:43 +0000 simplyfelicity 1706186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: Of course!

What a good reminder for you. I know the mantra, but sometimes it is SO hard to feel it. I just passed a couple on the street glowing &amp; gushing over their baby. Ugggh... good for them, but it felt like a punch in the guts for me. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-in-for-moms-of-angel-babies-how-are-you-doing-part-i/page/2#post-1706155 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 20:48:30 +0000 Crystal 1706155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: do you mind walling me the shop link? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-in-for-moms-of-angel-babies-how-are-you-doing-part-i/page/2#post-1706148 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 20:41:34 +0000 simplyfelicity 1706148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: Thank you! I got it from etsy.

It's scary to hope sometimes but I still think its vital.

Knowing firsthand how bad the outcome can be definitely takes some of the joy and excitement away from the idea of a BFP </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-in-for-moms-of-angel-babies-how-are-you-doing-part-i/page/2#post-1706030 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 19:25:14 +0000 simplyfelicity 1706030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: @Anya: Sometimes I don't know what I am more afraid of, getting pregnant again or getting a BFN. Not sure if that makes a lot of sense... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-in-for-moms-of-angel-babies-how-are-you-doing-part-i/page/2#post-1705969 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:48:52 +0000 Crystal 1705969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: Big hugs. I can completely relate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-in-for-moms-of-angel-babies-how-are-you-doing-part-i/page/2#post-1705945 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:25:06 +0000 Anya 1705945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tidybee: @GoGoSnoGirl: thanks friends.

But I totally understand worrying that another BFP might be hard to come by... though, I'm sure it is worth keeping at it. It just HAS to be!! :happy: :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-in-for-moms-of-angel-babies-how-are-you-doing-part-i/page/2#post-1703772 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 18:36:11 +0000 Tidybee 1703772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: after a year of trying for DD, 5 Months trying for #2 and then having a miscarriage, I was a mess because I felt like I had to start over all over again and who knew how long it would take. I got pregnant again just 2 cycles later (and we took the first one off). It'll be okay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-in-for-moms-of-angel-babies-how-are-you-doing-part-i/page/2#post-1703743 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 18:13:30 +0000 Anya 1703743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GoGoSnoGirl: I'm just temping too (well I started opk but unfortunately didn't follow through) and right now I just don't know. I thought I might have ovulated but now I'm not so sure. I just feel so defeated. Finally getting a BFP was such a relief, and it feels jarring to be back at "square one" and on top of that I'm still missing the baby that I lost and right now I don't feel like I have a reason to believe it will ever happen again. Gosh that sounds grim. I promise I'm not like that every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-in-for-moms-of-angel-babies-how-are-you-doing-part-i/page/2#post-1701600 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 14:25:55 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1701600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anya: thanks for asking. :). I'm doing fairly well, but feel eager to get back in the game. I didn't OPK this month, just temping &amp; it seems I probably O'd earlier this wk. We didn't have great timing on BD'g this wk, so looking fwd to AF &amp; TTC full force next month. I'm going to be 41 next month, too, so that's freaking me out a little. :D How are you?? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-in-for-moms-of-angel-babies-how-are-you-doing-part-i/page/2#post-1699799 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 17:47:43 +0000 Anya 1699799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GoGoSnoGirl: how are you doing this week? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-in-for-moms-of-angel-babies-how-are-you-doing-part-i/page/2#post-1680971 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 10:53:47 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1680971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: I understand about the what ifs, but I've decided that for me, I just can't worry like that yet. I think that thinking positive will bring our babies that we are all dreaming of. I do know that that is easier said than done, though. I would say to enjoy your little one, and know that you are not alone in this journey. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-in-for-moms-of-angel-babies-how-are-you-doing-part-i/page/2#post-1676894 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 23:33:20 +0000 LovelyPlum 1676894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: @GoGoSnoGirl: @ValentineMommy: I'm so sorry, ladies :heart: Lots of us have been there.

Mine was 32 last week and I go again next week so hopefully it will be all the way down. I found out it was ectopic when I went in for an ultrasound and found an empty womb and the sac in my left tube. Luckily it was caught early.</p> <p>@ValentineMommy: sorry about your d&amp;c. I don't this doesn't help the emotional recovery, but from what I understand the physical recovery is usually pretty quick </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-in-for-moms-of-angel-babies-how-are-you-doing-part-i/page/2#post-1676773 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:08:32 +0000 singingbee 1676773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: and @GoGoSnoGirl: and @Anya: I'm so sorry y'all have to visit this thread. A loss at any point is hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-in-for-moms-of-angel-babies-how-are-you-doing-part-i/page/2#post-1676753 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 20:57:30 +0000 ValentineMommy 1676753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi ladies....I'd like to join, if I can. </p> <p>1. How many losses are you in your journey of healing from, when were they, &amp; how far along were you? 1. It's still in process, I'll be having a d&amp;c on Thursday. I'm 8.5 weeks now. </p> <p>2. Do you have a/any live child(ren)? If so, is/are they your rainbow baby/babies? I have one beautiful 16m old son. No rainbow babies. </p> <p>3. If you had a recent loss (within the last 12 mths) are you currently ttc for your rainbow baby? Or are you pregnant with your rainbow baby, how far along? I hope I have the emotional capacity to try again. I'd like to as soon as possible. I just don't know how to recover. </p> <p>4. How have you coped with your loss, how about your SO or other live children? Not well, that's for sure. :-(</p> <p>5. Share you triumphs in healing... None yet. It's all so new. I, very scared and feel very alone. </p> <p>6. Are you having a bad day.... share away. Sure am. I'm afraid of an uncertain future and the "what ifs".... What if it happens again.... What if I can't get pregnant again....etc </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-in-for-moms-of-angel-babies-how-are-you-doing-part-i/page/2#post-1676528 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:41:28 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1676528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anya: thanks... My beta came back at 9.1 today, so just like you said, I feel like that's the last trace of my 1st pregnancy. :( But thinking positively, that should mean I can get back on track relatively quickly. How did you find out yours was ectopic? Hope you're healing well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/check-in-for-moms-of-angel-babies-how-are-you-doing-part-i/page/2#post-1674131 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 20:32:08 +0000 Anya 1674131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GoGoSnoGirl: I'm so sorry for your loss. I know just what you mean about the hcg testing. Every time is go in for a beta I pray for a low number for my health but I'm also disappointed to lose the last trace of my baby. Glad you have such a loving and supportive family helping you through this. </p>
