Parents of lost babies and potential of all kinds: come here to share the technicolour, the vividness, the despair, the heart-broken-open, the compassion we learn for others, having been through this mess — and see it reflected back at you, acknowledged and understood.

Hey, so I’m pregnant with my first baby after losing my son to sids at three weeks. Actually, this isn’t my first pregnancy since his death but due to my fear of complications I wanted to wait a year+ after my csection (he was born 11/30/2018)! I’m so stuck in believing this new baby favors my last son a lot in ultrasound(my son looked just like me) I’m not sure what I’m having. And it’s by a different father(HE was there for me at 20 weeks pregnant up until now with my last son) do you honestly believe in getting your baby back again through another baby? or do you feel babies are Angels and must fulfill duties for other families once they are sent back to heaven. I miss my first child so much. I didn’t get enough time.
Jayla, I am so sorry for the loss of your son. I lost my son November 2019 and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't wish him back. I have found myself talking to my Luke and asking for him to come back to me again. I truly hope it is possible to get my son back through a different pregnancy, because I miss him so much it hurts. My arms feel empty, as if I really don't know what to do with them, no matter what I hold or hug it's never the same. I send you love and support and wish you all the health and happiness for your new baby.
I don’t think many of us feel our babies that died are serving another family, or that they come to us as part of a subsequent sibling. The afterlife is a personal belief as well as reincarnation and such.
I lost my baby girl due to a late term miscarriage oct 1 2011 it was rough since then I tried not to get pregnant but recently I got pregnant I was so happy i was gonna go to the doctors to have a checkup and see how the babies doing but the coronavirus came around and made that hard so to no surprise I had an early term miscarriage I just hope they are in a good place!!!
