Rainbow baby club

in March 2025 Babies
My wife and I (4w+5d) are currently awaiting a viability scan (Aug 2) which is when we found out we had lost our first back in December. 

The due date for our angel baby is coming up on July 25th. We are having a hard time trying to stay positive and in the moment with this baby, but also mourn that day. We are also keeping this pregnancy quiet until at least after the scan (maybe even past 20w scan) due to not receiving the support we expected or needed from family last time around. 

Who else is pregnant with their rainbow baby and how are you coping? This isn’t easy, sending love and strength to all of you.

    This is my third pregnancy in 18 months. The last one was due March of this year. I’m trying to stay positive, even though I’m scared out of my mind. I’m sorry you didn’t receive support last year.  I’m fortunate that I did. I’m trying to stay calm, take it easy, live under the AC and only tell a few people that I know will support me.  And anxiously awaiting my dating ultrasound (Aug 5).

    @fininevermore- wishing you luck and a healthy pregnancy this time around. Our dating scans are only a couple days apart, the wait is torturous, although not as much as the week between my dating scan and the confirmation that our LO was gone last December. Feel free to message me if you need to!

    knottiebcf931dde83b435c if I need to, I will. Update us then you get your scan!  I could’ve gotten a sooner appt but I need my husband there because if the same thing happens that happened last time I won’t be able to take it.

    Im on my 4th pregnancy in about 18months as well. My scan is also August 5th. I hope we all have the best of luck with our pregnancies. I’m here if anyone needs support or an ear to vent to.

    This will also be our rainbow baby, our angel baby would have been due August 5th so I definitely understand juggling being excited and hopeful and then also remembering and mourning on that day. I am pretty much where I was (7w) when we lost our last baby in December so anxiety is really high. I also had some really unexpected reactions from family that were less than supportive, very disappointing and disheartening but then there were also people who were very supportive. I am glad we can support each other now, this is not easy and I wish the best for you all.

    This is my fifth pregnancy. I’ve had three miscarriages- two prior to my son and one since. The last one was the farthest along I made it before miscarrying (11 weeks), and it was rough. Silly story, but my son was conceived when my husband and I were on our 5th anniversary strip. This one was conceived on our 10th anniversary trip, so we think that brings good vibes. My first scan is on the 1st. In my last pregnancy when I had the scan, baby was measuring much smaller than it should have been. I guess that should have been a signal to me, but I didn’t know at the time. I’m looking forward to hopefully a “normal” scan here in a couple weeks.

    We got some mediocre news… baby is measuring about 3 days behind and heart rate was low (96)… going back Friday and hoping for a good amount of growth and a strong heartbeat. We just keep talking to our little bean letting them know they can do this and to keep fighting. 

    Seeing a heartbeat at all was a relief, but I know we are far from out of the woods… 

    keep us in your thoughts!

    @manders39 so glad you had a great follow up :) my first ultradsiund I was measuring 5 days behind with Hr of 107 (which they deemed all normal) but they did say the hr was slightly irregular in the US so Tuesday I get my follow up to just ensure everything is progressing well :) trying to stay positive

    Hi everyone! I don’t know if my pregnancy technically “counts” as a rainbow baby as I’ve only ever had chemical pregnancies before, not “real” miscarriages. But with three chemicals and one complete implantation failure after FETs with tested embryos I definitely felt those losses and was losing hope I could ever carry a pregnancy so I feel like I identify with this group. I’m heading into the fertility clinic in a few hours for an ultrasound at 7w3d and hoping everything looks good — did see a heartbeat and a tiny little fetal pole last week but still very anxious. I’m hoping it’s just the past losses that are making me pessimistic and am trying to tell myself this is the furthest I’ve ever gotten and so far things have looked good 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻. Feel free to send any positive vibes my way!

    Hope everything continues progressing well for everyone else on this thread 💕

    @libby331 You belong here. Any kind of pregnancy loss counts, even if chemical. My first loss was chemical too.

    Hey guys, I hate to bring the mood down but felt I should let you know that I miscarried on Friday and I’m out this time at 9w. Praying for healthy babies for you all. It was nice getting that support from you all. Best wishes 💜💜

    Thanks @fininevermore. @manders39, I am so very sorry for your loss. I wanted to let everyone know that I also lost my baby, there was no heartbeat at the ultrasound last week. I stopped my progesterone and am waiting to start bleeding which really sucks. I really thought this might be my time 💔

    Not to pile onto all the bad news but I also officially lost mine. Due to recurrent loss we are looking to get me in for a d&c so we can do genetics. I’m so sorry for everyone’s losses and to those continuing on I’m so happy for all of you and I’m wishing you the absolute best

    I'm heartbroken to see the losses, you ladies are in my thoughts. I'm only just now starting to participate because of my own worries of loss. 

    TW; loss mentioned

    In 2019 my daughter was stillborn at just under 21 weeks. She has Turner Syndrome and her condition was so severe that she didn't make it. There are no words for how devastating and traumatic that experience was, and I really thought that would be it for me and got an IUD. But I since remarried and my H wanted to have a child, so long story short, here I am. I haven't let myself get too excited or attached yet, but I'm hoping that when I get the results of the Maternit21 I'll be able to enjoy what will be my last pregnancy.

    Also late to posting because of anxiety from previous losses. 
    Currently 13 weeks with our rainbow baby after almost 2 years of TTC and 3 losses within 53 weeks. Almost ready to go through the collection of baby items I've accumulated from those 3 pregnancies but not quite there yet.

    I just went through all the samples and things I got from the last pregnancy last weekend.  It was nice to know that some of them hadn't expired yet.

    🌈Here with rainbow baby # 3, the sticky bean! @ 35 years old ! Lol what a surprise this was.
    I've had a loss in 2018 at 10 weeks after 6 years TTC which was Earth shattering 😑 then another in 2019 at 5 weeks. 
    I'm pretty far along now so it's safe to say 🤞I'll carry this one to term, baby is doing great and super healthy. ☺️
