What do I say?

Question

Ok so quick background  I have had 1 misscarige (7w) and 3 stillborns (13w 18,18w). (One set of twins). I am currently 32 weeks pregnant with my rainbow boy. And alot of my friends keep asking me how meny kids do I have. And i dont know what to tell them. Do I say just 1 on the way or do I say 4 with 1 on the way?

Answer

I always include my stillborn. But I do this because they tend to add their own advice about giving birth since they think it’s my first. This generally makes me angry. I don’t know if would to you or not. So I just say this is my second child and my first was a stillbirth.

Answer

I always respond “I have 4 children, 1 ten year old, a little boy who I lost in a miscarriage, a little girl I lost at 36 weeks in a stillbirth, and 1 on the way. I’m 27+ weeks now, so please pray for me!” And they usually just respond “okay” or “I will” or “I’m sorry” and wander off. I always include my two angel babies though

Answer

I say 1. I've had a miscarriage too and just had my rainbow baby in April. 
I say one because I dont want to have to explain or see the look ppl give of sadness or pity. 
I know I have 2 kids. But 1 is watching over us until we all meet again. 
But you say what you feel like they need to know.

Answer

When asked if I have kids I say that I only have 1 angel baby but I haven’t had my rainbow yet so I’m not sure what I’m going to say when we actually have one. I guess say what your comfortable with. Its all up to you.

Answer

I agree with the comments it’s totally up to u either way is right. I have 7 children and am expecting 8 but i don’t tell everyone that I’ve lost 7 and this is pregnancy number 15. I definitely don’t forgot all of my loss but I don’t like explaining it either so it’s totally up to you. Sorry for your loss and congratulations on your 🌈 rainbow
