šŸŒˆThe silence surrounding a rainbow pregnancy šŸŒˆ


šŸ’» If you follow various platforms on social media then you may have felt bombarded with posts about Rainbow baby day yesterday. Whilst it was a National Day to celebrate our precious rainbows we want to take the opportunity to raise awareness of the difficulties that surround a rainbow pregnancy.



šŸ’” It is important that we raise awareness and remind people that a rainbow baby does not replace the baby or babies that have died.



ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹ It doesnā€™t make everything ā€œbetterā€ and it doesnā€™t mean that we stop grieving and longing for the baby/babies we miss.



šŸ˜ The reality of a rainbow pregnancy is different for everyone. It is important to validate that everyoneā€™s experiences are different. Many new and expectant parents explain the pregnancy as a varied range of emotions.



šŸŒˆ For me personally it was a daily struggle between fear, happiness, worry and trying desperately to enjoy the pregnancy.



ā›ˆ Some days weā€™re plagued with severe hypremises which added fear, frustration and concern and others were spent asleep all day because it meant I wouldnā€™t worry if I wasnā€™t thinking.



šŸŒž I had such a full heart because this opportunity was so appreciated and I felt gratitude like never before.



The reality is that not everyone gets their rainbow.


Not everyone is able to have a happy ever after and itā€™s important that we share the reality.


Take things at your own pace.


Thinking of you.
