rainbow babies?

Was wondering if there are any other mommas expecting a rainbow baby? I'm pregnant with my fourth baby who will be a rainbow baby. I lost my third daughter from sids at 7 weeks old I'm so happy that we are expecting again and I think if my daughter was here she would be so happy to have a younger sibling I'm also EXTREMELY nervous to have another child I keep thinking worst possible scenarios.

I am working on my rainbow baby right now. I am 22 weeks exactly.  I am not high risk or anything. We are doing perfect. I think about my other baby all the time and wonder what he or she would have been like. I miss that baby and I never even really knew the baby but I am one excited mom-to-be now.

I'm so sorry to hear about the death of your baby :( Reading that literally brought tears to my eyes. That has to be hard, but congratulations on your new little one and best wishes to you.

I love this. Congratulations and thank you for sharing this term. I miscarried very early in my first pregnancy and was very worried for most of this one. We are now 37w+5 with a very healthy, strong little boy. Definitely my rainbow baby.

Mine is a rainbow baby. I miscarried my last pregnancy at 13 weeks. :( now that I am 26 weeks in this pregnancy I am much more relaxed. Getting through the first trimester was tough for me. I wanted to be excited but I would also be terriffied it would happen again.

"Rainbow Babies" is the understanding that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm. When a rainbow appears, it doesn't mean the storm never happened or that the family is not still dealing with its aftermath. What it means is that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds. Storm clouds may still hover but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy and hope."
