Is she a Rainbow Baby?

Question

In 2017 I terminated a pregnancy because the baby had genetic abnormalities.. I made the decision to terminate but it was one of the hardest decisions to make. My husband and I even went to therapy.. in therapy we’re told that it was an abortion but it was still a loss because of what everything we went through and how we felt.
I’m pregnant with a healthy baby girl and i was wondering if she’s considered a rainbow baby?

Answer

I think thats up to the mother to decide.  But there's also no real need to HAVE to call a baby a rainbow baby after a loss.  I prefer to give my baby her own identity,   without holding onto the past.

Answer

Yes!
I'm so sorry for what you went through. Congratulations on your rainbow! 🌈

Answer

It’s up to you mama! Your loss is devastating just the same as any mothers loss. If you want to call it a rainbow baby than do it. If you don’t want to than don’t. If that happened to me I would hold it so close in my heart I probably wouldn’t want to talk about it all except to hubby. But that’s just me, I’m a very private person

Answer

First off sorry for your loss and congratulations on your rainbow baby and I wish u a healthy nine months.

Answer

I’m in the same boat and consider my current pregnancy a rainbow baby. I didn’t feel like I had a choice in terminating my last pregnancy because baby would not have lived outside the womb. It was a devastating loss for me and my husband, no different than a miscarriage.

Answer

Sorry for your loss. To me a rainbow baby is a baby that comes after a wanted baby passed. Even though you terminated the pregnancy for health reasons, it was a wanted and desired baby. So in my eyes, this baby is definitely your rainbow. Sorry for your loss, and congratulations on your new pregnancy.

Answer

Consider the baby a rainbow one if you want to, it’s a made up phrase so it’s entirely up to you. Sorry to hear about your difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy in the past, that must have been a hard and brave thing to do. Congrats on the pregnancy :) x
