I'm so excited for you too! But, what is a rainbow baby?
A rainbow baby is a baby who is conceived and born after the death of a baby.. whether it be miscarriage still born or death after delivery etc..
"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."

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.
Oh wow! Dats so beautiful. Ddnt know too. Congrats
I'm nervous about my pregnancy as well but not as nervous as about after the baby's here , its scary not knowing why you lost your healthy baby at seven weeks but I'm trying to embrace everything about this pregnancy.. congrats you on your pregnancy @choeyoojin

My Son Is A Rainbow Baby. We Believe Our Little Girl Is HisGuardian Angel
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.
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 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.
Congrats. That's such a beautiful thing.
I will have a rainbow baby in October I miscarried my last pregnancy in October 2013 at 17 weeks.
I guess mine is a rainbow baby then... never heard that term. I had two miscarriages before this one stuck. This will be my first child.
My Baby Is Also A Rainbow Baby. I've Had Two Previous Miscarriages The Most Recent Being November 13, 2013 @ 11Wks. This Will Be My First Baby. I'm So Happy Excited And Nervous Rolled Into One. Good Luck To All Of U Ladies!!!
Oh my gosh, that's so beautiful (: I'm so sorry :/ this literally made me cry when I read it, looking over at my 5 day old son I couldn't imagine losing him.
I've Never Heard Of That But Mine Will Be A Rainbow Baby! I Had A Miscarriage Last May At 6 Weeks And Now I'm 30+6 Weeks (Due In May) :)
That is a beautiful saying and meaning.. Good luck with your little miracle xx
Mine is also a rainbow baby! Miscarried after a car accident... I love that term!
