@mrbee: I think empty circles could work fine if you're planning to keep the halos for further distinction.

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 & the intent was all good, so I don't take offense.
-
@mrbee: I totally missed the half circle = baby bump. Duh!
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.
-
@Truth Bombs: Good point about empty circles and pregnancies!
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?
-
@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.
-
@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.

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
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
-
@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):
We'll look into it after the dust settles on this feature!
-
@mrbee: Hah! thanks, didn't read the full post because I jumped right to adding my child on
-
I would either do an open circle for pregnancies/loss, or just stick with solid circles for everything. I like the feature, though!
-
Why not just use words?
I get the idea with the icons, but words are not as open to interpretation.
-
Thank you for letting us remember our lost ones.

As someone who has had 4 MCs I
this feature. 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.

I did not connect the half circles with bumps at all.
