Hi all!
Fisher, I was reading about your terrible loss on another thread and got to thinking that maybe a thread about rainbow babies after loss might be inspiring to those who have experienced/are experiencing this. Unfortunately, it seems there have been a number of PS ladies who have gone through this difficult situation. On a happier note, many of us have finally been blessed with a "take home baby". When I was terrified during my recent super high risk pregnancy, Circe's great news made me feel more optimistic that things could work out for us. (Congratulations by the way!!!) Even when not expecting my own, I still would lurk and my heart always felt warmed and encouraged with the news of a rainbow baby.
I thought this may have been a topic before, but couldn't find it in a search. Please excuse me if it's a repeat.
I'll start:
I had two stillborn sons-one in 10/09 and the other in 7/10. Both were between 25-26 weeks and were hospital deliveries. It crushed me and when I visit their little graves next to one another, I still can't help myself from crying. They were naturally conceived, but after my second we struggled with infertility. I went through so many feelings of hopelessness, anger, impatience (not getting younger!) and of course, sadness.
After many months, IUI, lots of prayers, and many shots of Lovenox, my beautiful daughter was born in January at 33 weeks! Victoria (name significance intended) spent 2 weeks in the NICU, but is now doing great. She is the light of our lives and I just know we appreciate her in very special ways. I wake up every day and literally give thanks for the gift of her. Most of all, I'm thankful that we didn't give up when every odd possible was stacked against us. I'm probably also the most paranoid mother ever, but I guess that's for another thread!
Would anyone else feel comfortable sharing?
PS Fisher, I have been following your journey a long time and my prayers are with you in every way possible. You have been a great mother to Miracle and I look forward to the day we get more good news.
