It is my hope here to make connections for mamas in this new world they are forced to live.
A world where our baby didn't get to come home with us.
We will support any 2nd or 3rd trimester stillbirth or loss mamas. While some definitions don't consider birth before 20 weeks a stillbirth, I like to think if you had to labor and give birth to your baby... even "late miscarriages" qualify as stillbirth.
Please fill out this form and I will do my best to connect you to other mamas who are in similar situations. My hope is that you can connect to be able to walk through the milestones together with others who are right there with you.

Bereaved: I felt these words and their corresponding definitions were perfect for the goal of these loss mama connections. Bereaved... we are, in and over itself, bereaved (noun). We are suffering the death of our baby, AKA a babe. We are women, AKA babes. We are inexperienced (at first) in this world of loss... and we were probably naive to the fact that it could even happen (especially to us). All together, we are Bereaved Babes. In every sense of those words. |
My Bereaved BabesI have a group of girls I assembled in a Facebook group chat... we all lost our babies within a few days of each other in December, and we were all in our 3rd trimester.
I love getting to chat with these women, because we are going through the same milestones together. We get each other and can share anything with no judgement. We wrestle(d) with questions like... Is your milk still coming in? When are you going to start trying again? Has your cycle returned yet? Is it wonky? Are you going to find out gender next time around? Do you want the same or different gender than your baby you lost? Are you going to ask for more scans next time? What kind of urn are you getting? What should I put on the headstone? How are you feeling today? How are things with your husband? How are your other children doing? Etc. And you know what... It's not fair. It's not fair we have to think about these things now. And none of us want to be here. But we are. And we will support each other. Even if it is not fair. |
