Supporting Through Our Rainbow Years
Pregnancy after loss is a minefield.
It can feel like a constant battle and a balance between hope and grief. The anxiety and worry can outshine the blessing of being pregnant and for 9 months you hold your breath just hoping everything will be okay this time.
We can help you.
It’s a very difficult time for many reasons and it's completely normal to feel lost. You no longer fit in the 2 categories that you are familiar with; baby loss groups or ‘normal’ pregnancy groups.
The conversations that fill these two groups don’t comprehend that you have either suffered a loss or that you are carrying new life again so it is common for you to find it hard to relate to the ‘normal’ pregnancy community. By carrying new life again, you also don’t feel like you fit in the baby loss community as well as you used to.
Luna’s parents found the pregnancy after loss journey extremely challenging. The hardest part being the worry and doubt that consumed their thoughts. They describe their pregnancy after loss experience as being mentally and emotionally draining.
During their pregnancy, the time they felt the happiest and most at ease was during ultrasound appointments. So much so, that they booked monthly private scans in order to see their rainbow baby happily dancing away on the screen with their own eyes.
The scans were mini milestones that felt achievable and hopeful. Thanks to this reassurance and the impact it made on their mental health, Luna's Fund offer this service free of charge for other anxious parents to gain reassurance during their pregnancy.
This is why we created the Story Raine Project
Named after Luna's rainbow baby brother, Story Raine Conroy, Luna's parents have utilised their own experience of pregnancy after loss to create hope and support by reassuring others who are in a similar position.
The aim is for us to virtually hold your hand, mentor, support and guide you through this complex but life changing journey with the reassurance of being able to see your baby 3 additional times.
We hope this will positively aid your mental health and well-being during this anxious time.
We are here Supporting you Through Our Rainbow Years.
