QUESTION

Moms who’ve had their rainbow baby or expecting theirs. When did you announce your pregnancy? I’m 6 weeks today, and I’ve made my announcement and caption lol. But I’m waiting to announce until either we know the gender or until after our 20week ultrasound. No I haven’t been thru pregnancy loss, my 4 month old passed away from Sid’s this June. I’m unexpectedly pregnant now 5 months after his passing. I wanted to hide my pregnancy bc I know some people will have nasty opinions, and negativity towards me being pregnant again so soon after losing my child. Sometimes I feel extremely guilty and like a horrible person for becoming pregnant again so soon, I hope my baby doesn’t feel like I’m replacing him. Anyone else gotten pregnant soon after losing a child?

I waited 12 weeks to announce my rainbow baby. So sorry to hear about your child💔

15 weeks for me❤️ Sorry for your loss! Ignore anyone who gives you negative energy when you announce. It's no one elses business xx

First of all, I'm so sorry for your loss. Anyone who has anything negative to say can mind their own business. You're not replacing your baby. He'll always be this baby's big brother. Regarding your question, I announced pretty early, around 9 weeks. I know some people like to wait longer after a loss but with my first I didn't even get to announce before I lost it. It didn't make it better that no one knew. Instead it just made it feel like some dirty little secret, and it took a long time for me to even tell my mom what had happened. So with my daughter I announced very early. I was determined that she would be celebrated whether I carried to term or not. But there's no right answer.

14 weeks

I’m 34 weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby and actually haven’t announced via social media, only immediate close family (both) and friends.

So sorry for your loss 💔 I announced when I was 5 months, a few days after the 20 week scan with my rainbow 🌈 I got pregnant with my rainbow 2 months after a miscarriage
