Episode 28: Our Rainbow Baby Birth Story

Rainbow Baby - A podcast by Taylor Bates

My husband, Hunter, and I reflect on the birth of our rainbow baby, Jonas. Admittedly it’s been much more difficult for me to find time to record and edit this podcast while taking care of a newborn full time. We recorded this episode three months ago and I am just now getting it out after finding little pockets of time during naps to record and edit. Though I want to continue to share about my postpartum and parenting after loss experience, new episodes moving forward will be more intermittent—I hope you understand! Episode includes: -How I cultivated peace on Jonas’ birthday-How I coped with fearful thoughts leading up to his birth-How this birth experience compared to our first baby Ellis’-The importance of finding a great team and hospital for your rainbow baby’s birth-The things we did to make Jonas’ birthday extra special-What we brought in our hospital bag-The emotions we experienced at the birth of our rainbow baby—To connect with me visit taylorashleybates.com and find me on Instagram @rainbowbabypodcast And please share this podcast with anyone you know who is walking through life after pregnancy loss, whether they are trying to conceive, currently pregnant, or parenting after loss.
