Name for baby after infertility?

Jeanine

saw a post on Instagram and it totally verbalized what I had been thinking

It said that there is a missing vocabulary term to describe the infertility journey those of us are taking. I think it is great that the term rainbow baby is getting talked about a lot more, which means women aren't as ashamed anymore and are speaking out to support each other. However, I find myself thinking I cannot truly understand what you all are going through who have had miscarriages. Technically, the symbolism behind rainbow babies is the storm before the beauty of a rainbow, which couldn't infertility be categorized as a storm as well? I by no means wish to offend anyone or pretend to understand the loss that is a miscarriage or say the pain in feeling with infertility is the same or worse. Just opening up the conversation since I think we need the language to support all who grieve and hope while struggling to conceive/carry a baby.
