In 2018 my heart literally crumbled to pieces after losing our first baby, no one knew we were pregnant. I told my parents, close friends, siblings and in laws after we got the horrible news. I heard to hurtful responses, though most were not intentional. We are now nearly 40 weeks, and this time around we waited until the 3rd trimester to tell our parents. No one else knows.

Based on my story, how would you announce your rainbow baby when no one knew about either pregnancy / losing my first?

I plan to post on social media, though I’m not much for attention or any of that. Rather I hope to give someone else suffering with the same circumstances within our family or our friends, a person to relate to, maybe someone to confide in , and a sense of hope.
