Pregnant after a Loss

Anyone else wonder what their angel LO is doing "up there"?

I hope I am not the only one that does this.

And I know this is probably going to sound REALLY strange, but sometimes, I like to imagine that my little baby Q in heaven is having play dates with some of your LOs.  Too weird/creepy?Embarrassed

ETA:  What do you imagine when you think of your angel LO?

  • It hadn't actually occurred to me to think of it that way, but I really like your image.  It makes me smile to think my LO is playing with friends.

  • I hope there is an "up there", and if there is, I imagine my deceased family members taking care of him for me, waiting for DH and I.

    This is exactly what I picture. I think my great grandpa is up there just loving and squeezing my baby Gavin until I can do it again.

  • I think about that too and I picture my LO playing with other ladies LO on here. Mostly I think of LO spending time with his grandma. She would always ask us when we were having a baby. I would like to think they are up there together keeping each other company. I have been thinking about this a lot recently since my LO's angel birthday approaching very quickly.

  • I'm not really sure. I do believe in "up there" but I also believe in reincarnation. I don't know how that ties in with my lost babies but after my first loss I did have a dream that made me feel comforted. I was feeling very at calm/peace and met a woman who I "knew" was my spirit guide. I asked her about my baby and why this (the miscarriage) happened.

    "He wasn't ready to come to you yet," She replied in the dream. I asked when he would be back and she said, "When he's ready."

    There's a part of me that likes to think that the soul of that baby came back as my son. But, I've also heard a story from the m/c/pl board about babies who die before they are born end up circling above the mothers' head, just waiting for the right cycle to come back and grow again. If the right cycle never comes up, then they go to another woman and grow in her belly as her baby. It's just a nice thought, not one I necessarily really believe.

    Wherever the souls of my babies are, I know they are happy and at peace, and that's what matters.

    I am glad you posted.  I definitely didn't/don't want to exclude differing beliefs and religions.  I think these are beautiful thoughts, thank you for sharing.

    I guess I have just been thinking a lot about after-life lately, and this topic sorta popped into my head.

  • I honestly have not thought of this. I get really upset when I think about my miscarriage, so I don't think I have accepted it enough to the point where I can imagine this.  I hope I get to this point some day.

  • My family and I were able to hold my LO for a few minutes after she was delivered.  At only 19 weeks, I was amazed at her little fingers and fingernails.  I looked at my father and compared her to a hummingbird...so small, she didn't seem real.

    The other day, I was sitting on our deck...I saw a red hummingbird come and look in the window of the nursery for a moment and flit away.  I like to think that was my little Charlotte checking up on how things were going, if we had the nursery done for her little sister...

    It's inspired me to put a hummingbird feeder outside that window, so maybe she'll come back from time to time to see what we're up to.

    lost my little hummingbird, Charlotte, delivered on 7/23/2010 at 19w2d due to anencephaly. Earmuffs is on the way! BabyFetus Ticker
  • If they are anything like me. They are giving all my family memebers a run for there money & my family is enjoying them and telling them about dh & I until we get there to hold them for our selves.

    Not creepy at all!  I love it!  I think of this pregnancy as a gift from God & my angel babies.  I like to think of them "scheming" with God to give me good gifts!  May be weird, but it brings me joy and peace.  I love those babies and like to think they love their momma!

  • That's so sweet.  I love that thought.  I often imagine my LOs looking down on me and DH and watching what we are doing.  I also imagine that they are with the family that I have lost as well.  I actually gave my son the middle name Arthur hoping that it would make it easier for him to find my grandfather.

  • I lost my grandmother a few days before my miscarriage so I've always imagined they went to Heaven together.  She was my favorite person in the world, a very amazing lady that I was so blessed to know.  It's comforting to me to think that my grandma is up there enjoying her great-grandbaby.

    This. I think my angels are up there together, causing chaos and waiting on DH and I to come home. My EDD is coming right up and this has been on my mind a lot too. It helps somehow. 

    After two losses, a rainbow arrived! DD born 11.5.11
    Dx with severe Asherman's syndrome after a botched PP D&C (pursuing med mal)
    Hysteroscopy Oct '13, not enough progress 
    Hysteroscopy Jan '14, given an end-of-the-road diagnosis
    Joined International Asherman's Association April '14 
    Not ready to give up yet.
    Hysteroscopy with Dr. Isaacson (an expert in the USA) 6.2.14: Good prognosis, at least 50% of cavity open.
    Repeat hysteroscopy scheduled with Dr. I on 6.16.14. Great progress. Unbenched!!!!
    Discussing actively TTC with DH after the heartache of the last year. We're both reeling.
     
    Please, please, please.
