1.Babies you know? They don't bother me at all.

2. Babies on here? They don't bother me. Usually.

3. Babies that are/were due around the same time as you? I'm very uncomfortable around moms I have been pregnant with, if they are/were showing at the same time as me. 

4. Strange babies? They make me cry like a baby, especially little girls.

1.Babies you know? I can handle them around me but I am not as loving as I used to be with them. They still make me sad. I watch my friends look at their babies the way I imagined I would look at Jack. Or I see them touch them lovingly wishing I could do that to Jack.

2. Babies on here? On this board? I am fine with them. Especially rainbow babies because they give me some sort of hope...

3. Babies that are/were due around the same time as you? I am super jealous and keep asking "why me?"

4. Strange babies? When I see baby boys or even toddler boys, I look away with tears in my eyes. The other day, I had to walk away and cry my eyes out.

1.Babies you know? Thankfully I'm not around very many. I love my 2-yr-old niece more than ever though. Sometimes she makes me sad, but for the most part she makes me smile like a goofball.2. Babies on here? They don't bother me, I'm happy for those who have had babies before or after a loss because I know how much those babies must be loved and cherished.3. Babies that are/were due around the same time as you? If I even think about visiting my birth month board I get a lump in my throat. I never got to know any of them, but I am certain they are talking about the stress of being new moms and I would give anything to be going through that with them right now.4. Strange babies? If I see a baby that looks like what I thought my daughter would have looked like, I get sad. Other babies get on my nerves now: the noisy ones at restaurants, the ones that block the aisles at the grocery store. It's a little silly, I know...

1) If I knew them before my loss, I'm ok with them.

2) Pictures/talk on here doesn't bother me

3) I have a REALLY hard time with babies born around/after Eliott's loss.

4) I don't know any!

LOL - I just realized what you meant for number 4 - I thought you meant strange like odd! Anyway, if they are around the same age Eliott would be or younger, it's hard.

1.Babies you know? I have hard time with my friends and families babies... Its just hard and makes me sad. On the other hand I work in an infant classroom at work... some days it does not bother me, Somedays it is very hard and some days I am a wreck.

2. Babies on here? Make me happy.

3. Babies that are/were due around the same time as you? Cant do it!

4. Strange babies?depends on hte day

1.Babies you know? I love babies of friends,and I don't have any babies in my family(somehow I think that would be harder).

2. Babies on here? I got very close with my birth month ladies,and I love seeing pics of their babies,as well as rainbow babies or posters I "know".

3. Babies that are/were due around the same time as you? If it's a baby I know it doesn't bother me.If it is just a random kid who is my daughter's age,it bothers me.

4. Strange babies? I didn't like strangers' kids much before,and that's just intensified.Especially if I have a particularly obnoxious customer who is either generally rude or awful to their kid-the bad thoughts start flowing.

Like how do they make you feel emotionally?

1.Babies you know? I am okay at a distance... none are in my daily life, so I haven't had to deal with this yet.

2. Babies on here? Don't care, unless they were on one of my BMBs, then it's a little tough. ETA: Don't care as in they don't bother me. For loss moms, I am usually very happy for them, especially the late loss moms.

3. Babies that are/were due around the same time as you? I have a vey good friend who has a DS born a week before my DS. I love her so much but i have a hard time seeing her DS's pictures some times.

4. Strange babies? If they are the same ethnicity as me and about the same age as DS, I have to pretty much run away or change my seat (in a restaurant). If not, I have no problem with them and usually enjoy them.

1.Babies you know?~ Fine

2. Babies on here?~ Usually fine, but it's hard to see tickers at 28w4d

3. Babies that are/were due around the same time as you?~ Was hard, but I still went to visit newborns for friends

4. Strange babies?~ Still hard. If I see baby boys in outfits that we bought for Aidan, I have to fight back tears.

1.Babies you know? Depends on the day.

2. Babies on here? Love them. Especially my SAIF friends and rainbow babies.

3. Babies that are/were due around the same time as you? Most I'm ok with except we have really good friends who were pg with twin boys at the same time. They were due 6 weeks before our boys. I really struggle seeing them. It's like watching what should be my life.

4. Strange babies? Most are okay. Twins really bother me.
