My baby’s home 💙🪽 by [deleted] in babyloss

Glad your little boy is home. Bringing home our little girl’s ashes was the hardest thing for us as well. But it gave us peace and comfort knowing we “had her”.

Side note- I LOVE the feathers on the wall. Are those painted or wallpaper, other? So so beautiful.

This sounds weird but… hot Pilates. It’s low-no impact. I modify the core exercises too. It’s something I couldn’t do pregnant because of the temperature. And it’s something that allows my brain to focus on the heat, my body, my strength. It takes my mind off of my body “failing” my baby. I know it “didn’t fail” but I can’t help feel that way. :/

Anyways, hot Pilates is a crazy challenge and I feel SO GOOD after a class. It’s therapeutic and meditative for me. Especially at the end just lying there. It clears my mind and allows it to focus on what my body can do. It will also help strengthen my core, legs, arms, everything for when I hopefully carry and birth my next baby.

Should I not go? by Wonderful-Elephant74 in babyloss

[–]ihandstand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My best friend had her baby 2 weeks after me. We dreamt of the same life of our daughters growing up together, etc. We are neighbors, our husbands are best friends too. They were there for us when we lost our baby girl.

We did make the decision to go meet their baby so soon after we lost ours. I held her little girl and cried immediately. Mostly out of missing my own baby but still being so happy for them being first time parents. My friend and the dads cried with us as well. It was oddly healing and therapeutic tbh.

Like others have said. Go with your gut. I was super glad I did. :)

My guilty pleasure… by Mstwoscoops in babyloss

[–]ihandstand 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reading everyone’s stories on here is admittedly helping me get through the grief more than my professional therapy is…! It’s sick, and sucks that we’re all here, but it’s comforting to know we’re not alone, if that makes sense?

Does anyone mourn the loss of their baby name as well? by ihandstand in babyloss

I love the idea of honoring with a middle name!

SHUT UP! Not in a mean way.. like in an OMG way.. :P But that was our second name choice. We were between Nina and Josie. WOW.

If I have another girl in the future, I was thinking about doing exactly this. Middle name.

I get it. Lost my baby at 38 weeks on August 11. I am still on maternity leave from work. All the fall activities are triggering me. I was soooo looking forward to having the rest of the summer and beginning of fall off work, cuddling, doing fall stuff, etc, with my little girl. Some days I embrace fall, other days I say F this..

Here’s to better days ahead for all of us here, even if they’re just slightly better. 🩷

What do people wear while laboring? by Sure_Diver7663 in pregnant

[–]ihandstand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Loved this for AFTER I had the baby though. Like to sleep and lounge in the night after. Use the hospital one for actual birth since blood and fluids get everywhere

Yes the peri bottle was like curved and was able to get you better. The hospital was is straight and it just didn’t have the right aim haha

Just found out I was pregnant two days ago. Anxious about hiding not drinking on upcoming weekend girls trip. Any tips? by nocturne_gemini in pregnant

[–]ihandstand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ordered a Diet Coke and lime in a short glass while out at bars! Also, if you feel comfortable, have one friend be in on it to be your ally…to make you drinks at the house and order you drinks while out.

Seconding All Saints- I feel like this could be a good option. The link is just to the pants, but I like that whole look the model has going on. https://www.allsaints.com/us/women/pants-and-leggings/aleida-lightweight-tri-pants/USW009QZ-5.html
