It's not up to you to decide who gets to call their babies angel or rainbow. It's also not your place to judge what is and isn't medically necessary in someone else. If this girl wants to consider her aborted baby an angel baby and her next one if she chooses to be the rainbow, that's her business and not yours.
Baby's after an abortion Angels and Rainbows.
My niece is pregnant after a miscarriage. she has been speaking with one of her friends about her Angel baby' and her "Rainbow baby"and explaining what those terms mean, apparently the friend had an abortion for medical reasons (the abortion was not medically necessary) but I believe it was for mental health reasons? (Not 100% sure) would the baby be considered an Angel baby and would her next child be a rainbow baby? I looked the topic up but haven't seen it on here and I don't know because I've never been in the situation
I welcome all comments but please be respectful of others opinions.I know that people will have differing opinions and beliefs that's fine but please don't be nasty.

Then I apologize. I'd blame my pregnancy hormones and lack of sleep but truth be told it's just hard to interpret some of the bitchy/sarcastic comments from the others. 💁🏾
zö
I read what you said and I understood. I was speaking generally.
Jm
Another person who can't understand the written English language it clearly says one comment above yours that I think mental health is a medical reason so yeah 🤦🏾♀️
I think it's up to only that woman to decide. My opinion doesn't mean Jack shit really. If she wants to call it that, she is able. She did suffer a loss. Just because it's different from others, that doesn't lessen any struggle she may have gone through. We don't know her story so yeah.
Jm
Ok thanks

Yeah I get it. I'd just say it's up to her. I know someone who has had multiple miscarriages and went through a stillbirth and she does not use the term "rainbow baby" at all. It's just up to the individual.
Jm
That's what I thought but when we looked up the definition of rainbow baby it neither included or excluded. I guess she just wanted to know if she could say it without judgment. Not that I was judging her but 🤷🏾♀️
Idk about the rest. Are you asking about the terminology being used? I've heard angel baby used for all babies really. and Rainbow baby is a baby after a loss of pregnancy.
Jm
Ok thank you.
oo
All I know is Rainbow baby is a baby that follows a loss of pregnancy.. "the rainbow after a storm"
Jm
Yes specifically the terminology, if she wanted to call her baby a rainbow baby it wouldn't make a difference to me I just haven't heard of it for this situation? For lack of better words.
No i don't believe they would be
Jm
Ok understandable thanks

I don't believe there is a term for these situations. When she would give birth that would be her first child nothing more. I just don't believe it counts since the attachment isnt there like there would be with a miscarriage i also don't believe miscarriages before a certain point should necessarily count but that's for me personally
Jm
Ok can I ask why? Or is there a different term for these situations?
I terminated for my mental health (suicidal after rape), and if I would ever want children I would consider that my "angel baby". But that's what I would personally do in a situation where I at all cared to be a mother. It's really just how she feels about it.

No worries!:) I hope your pal can rest easy as well
