we had one awhile ago, but how are my other rainbow mamas doing?
my first baby didn't develop after 6 weeks, but I didn't find out/get everything sorted until about 15 weeks. Now I'm at 29 weeks with this baby. Every time they move I'm able to relax. For some reason, making it to 8 months is some kind of finish line for me in my mind (even though I know baby won't be done yet).
so mamas, how are you doing? What is your "safe week" in your mind?
Re: Rainbow Babies Catch Up
The good thing is, this little guy moves soooo much that I hardly ever have time to notice he hasn't moved. This keeps my anxiety level in check. Hopefully, he doesn't slow down too much as he grows

However, since I have been pregnant with this LO I have had 2 family members lose a baby and I think about them all the time!
ETA - forgot to mention that I have been thinking about my 2 losses more than usual lately. It eases my mind knowing that my body did what it needed to do. Something wasn't right with the pregnancy and/or baby and my body took action quickly so that I didn't suffer any long-term damage. It SUCKS having to go through a m/c, but those facts do help me.

We can do this ladies !
I agree that I don't feel like I've found a "safe week." Our loss was early -- eight weeks -- and I'm 27 weeks now. I'm just so grateful for each day and for each time I feel her dancing around. I keep thinking that my anxiety will go away with each milestone (hearing the heartbeat, NT scan, Materniti21 results, end of first tri, 20-week ultrasound, 24-week viability), but nope.
Just can't wait to hold this sweet baby in my arms!
