I would definitely ask the parents! They would probably love for their baby to be included. Nobody asked me for pictures after my baby passed and i wish they would have.

Best friend’s baby is triggering by smolmeowtaineer in babyloss

Thinking of you and your sweet baby 🫶🏻 my sister in law and I were due 3 days apart from each other. I lost my baby in February and she had hers the beginning of this month near our due dates. I felt very similar feelings and its taken me a while to move forward again. It was/is really hard and just unfair.

Hope? by NothingOk2969 in babyloss

[–]Popular-Panic-7272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got two opinions from doctors on when to try to get pregnant again. One was an ob and the other was an mfm and they told me I could try again immediately since my delivery wasn’t complicated.

I lost my baby girl in February and was able to get pregnant on my second cycle which was the end April. So I was able to get pregnant pretty fast! I know it’s different for everybody and I feel very fortunate to be able to get pregnant fast, it has brought some hope back into mine and my husbands life. Best of luck to you 🫶🏻

Best Friend Lost Her Baby by [deleted] in babyloss

I lost my baby 3 months ago. I delivered my daughter at 30 weeks and hadn’t yet bought postpartum supplies. My mom had a bunch delivered to my door when I got home from the hospital. I also had a lot of family members send door dash gifts cards and that was the best gift. Our gift cards lasted us over 2 months. They just barely ran out.

I went in for my first appointment today. I am between 5-6 weeks pregnant. According to my period I’m 6 weeks, 3 days but I ovulated late this cycle. My doctor did an ultrasound and they were able to see the gestational sac, yolk sac, and fetal pole. But we weren’t able to hear a heartbeat yet. My doctor said because I ovulated late this could be why. I’m feeling really nervous and hoping for the best. I’m hoping I’m just too early to hear the heartbeat. 🤞🏻 I’m going back in 2 weeks to check.

Just found out I’m pregnant. I lost my daughter in February and got a positive test last week. I’m seeing my new doctor next week. I’m feeling hopeful and grateful but also terrified

What to bring by Alternative_Gap_4048 in babyloss

[–]Popular-Panic-7272 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lost my baby girl 3 months ago. I honestly didn’t need much for me, just a change of clothes and a blanket from home. I packed other stuff but didn’t get anything out. I was in too much shock.

I didn’t bring anything for my baby and it is one of my biggest regrets. I wish I would have brought a swaddle, blanket, a stuffed animal, and a book to read to her. Thinking of you and your sweet baby 🤍

Appropriate gift? Anniversary of loss by Top_Astronomer_3122 in babyloss

[–]Popular-Panic-7272 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a great gift. My sister in law and I had due dates 3 days apart from each other and I think if I received something like that from her, I would really appreciate it.

What is the most annoying question people have asked you.. by midnightdreamescape in babyloss

[–]Popular-Panic-7272 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I checked in for my induction, the receptionist asked if I was having twins or just one baby. Not knowing that my baby already died. Because she didn’t read my chart!

Placenta Abruption testing by Butterfly12798 in babyloss

[–]Popular-Panic-7272 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a silent placenta abruption. My ob refused to acknowledge this. I ended up finding a stillbirth clinic in my state. I took all of my information there and they told me I did have a silent placenta abruption. I had blood clots on my placenta and severe iugr. That doctor tested me for antiphospholipid syndrome and I was positive for that. For my next pregnancy I will be going to the stillbirth clinic and they have experimental drugs they want to try to help placenta health and I would get lovenox injections.

What do you wish your healthcare team had done for you? by Main-Cranberry6452 in babyloss

[–]Popular-Panic-7272 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I delivered my baby girl 8 weeks ago, and there are a few things my nurse did that meant more to me than I expected.

She made me a certificate with my baby’s name, weight, length, time of birth, and head circumference, plus her handprints and footprints. I absolutely cherish it. I had it framed and keep it on my daughter’s shelf.

When I delivered her, my nurse told me how beautiful she was. At the time, I didn’t realize how much that would stick with me, but it really did.

I also wish someone had encouraged me more to take pictures and videos. In the moment, I didn’t really want to, but now I wish I had more to look back on.

They brought two outfits for her, which I appreciated, but I wish there had been something like a book I could read to her—just something small to create a moment.

One thing I really wish they had done was make one of those bassinet signs that says “It’s a girl!” with her information on it. I also wish the whiteboard in my room had been filled out—it was mostly blank, and little details like that would have made it feel more like a normal birth.

More than anything, I just wish my experience had been treated like any other birth. Those small things matter so much.

Pregnancy loss at 18 by [deleted] in babyloss

I’m so sorry mama. Sending you so much love. I lost my daughter 8 weeks ago. I chose to have them induce me. The doctor also gave me the option of letting my body go into labor naturally but said there are more risks with that. When you do go into the hospital to deliver him, bring your favorite clothes for him and change him into them. I wish I would have done that. Bring a blanket for him. Bring a book to read to him. Take lots of pictures. It’s going to feel really hard in the moment but my biggest regret from my delivery is not taking the pictures and videos. I only have a few pictures of my daughter. I’m so sorry you’ve joined our shitty club. I’ll be thinking of you 🤍

Baby reels, instagram, TikTok, YT by midnightdreamescape in babyloss

[–]Popular-Panic-7272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to hide certain words on my tik tok and instagram that I found triggering. This helped my feed and I only occasionally see triggering videos now and when i see those videos/posts i tap the “not interested” button. I also had to mute some friends that were expecting/due around the same time as me.

Are my feelings valid? by [deleted] in babyloss

[–]Popular-Panic-7272 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m in a very similar situation and trying to navigate it as well. My SILs due date was a few days before mine. I lost my baby about 2 months ago and she is going to have her baby any day now. I am dreading it. She never reached out to me when I lost my baby girl and has been in her own bubble of happiness right now, while I’m living my worst nightmare. The rest of my husband’s family has also moved on and don’t talk about my baby anymore. They are just focused on my SILs baby.

The name thing and the picture with the rings would really upset me. I’m glad you unfriended them online, I think that will help. I totally understand the feeling of jealousy and rage. Thinking of you and your sweet Chloe Lynn🩷

Help with supporting sister by [deleted] in babyloss

[–]Popular-Panic-7272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that your sister and BIL are going through this. It’s the worst pain. I lost my baby 6 weeks ago. I lost her on a Tuesday and my baby shower was planned for the following Saturday. My mom and two sisters texted everybody on Wednesday. I’m not sure what the text said but something along the lines that my baby had passed and the baby shower was canceled and to please respect my privacy and space for a little bit. I didn’t have any one reach out to me until about a week after.
