Our city has a butterfly release in June for infant and child loss that I always attend. It's been almost three years and I still grieve what could have been. </p> <p>I will also spend time on the 15th reflecting on my other losses (7 &amp; 10 weeks). My two rainbows followed those losses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-infant-loss-awareness-month#post-2779230 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 11:33:46 +0000 Academicsocialite 2779230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Daniel, born sleeping at 28 weeks, January 17, 2017.

I had an early m/c in July 2011 and a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks in feb 2013. I think about them all the time and I'm very grateful for my rainbow baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-infant-loss-awareness-month#post-2778685 Tue, 10 Oct 2017 14:49:43 +0000 yerpie110 2778685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We lost our son, Jesse Alex, at 9 weeks due to Trisomy 21.</p> <p>Much love to all you mamas ❤️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-infant-loss-awareness-month#post-2778674 Tue, 10 Oct 2017 14:26:58 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2778674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had a loss a few weeks ago at 6.5 weeks. We did not know the sex of the baby. It's still very new, but I'm definitely feeling extra emotional thinking about all the lost babies this month. Lots of love to all of you and your angels. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-infant-loss-awareness-month#post-2778667 Tue, 10 Oct 2017 14:19:12 +0000 LAZB 2778667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We lost our son “Q” when he was almost six weeks old (he would be 3.5 now). I am part of a support group, and we have an annual “Walk to Remember” which will happen this Saturday. During the event we read off each baby’s name, and have a balloon release. It’s amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-infant-loss-awareness-month#post-2778666 Tue, 10 Oct 2017 14:17:47 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2778666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you for posting the reminder.

October 15th is a day of remembrance. I will be attending a memorial service at my hospital that evening to remember our baby boy that we said goodbye to in June 2016. Will you be doing anything this year to remember a pregnancy or infant loss?</p> <p>If you'd like, share the name of the baby that you lost. We can call remember together. </p>
