something I wanted to share

I've just been through my most recent miscarriage in April of this year, the pain of the loss is still there even though I conceived again 3 months later. I found this little article and found alot of comfort in it....... I thought maybe it might help some of you, too.

Young children often describe memories of pre-existence. The July/August 2002 issue of Mothering Magazine includes an unusual example in an article titled "Spirit Babies."

In an excerpt from her book Baby Catcher (Simon & Schuster, 2002), nurse-midwife Peggy Vincent tells how her twelve-year-old son Colin comforted her as she mourned a miscarried pregnancy. Her son then explained to her about "Spirit Babies" and why the same soul would return to her if she became pregnant again.

Colin said that every woman has "a circle of babies that goes around and around above her head, and those are all the possible babies she could have in her whole life." Every month, one baby is first in line to be conceived. If the pregnancy miscarries, that baby goes back into the circle, but "it becomes a Spirit Baby and all the other babies give it cuts" so that it is always first in line. Colin said that he knew about Spirit Babies because he himself was one, and had returned to his mother after a previous miscarriage.

Hi,

Thank you SO much for sharing this. It put a smile on my face because it made me feel like my little one that I MC'd back in December is now my spirit baby that has returned to me. I am now 29w6d PG and can't wait for this little guy to get here.

I still mourn over the loss of my first baby. In fact we were at Walmart the other day and they have all the Christmas stuff out. My DH and I were looking at it saying we can't wait for Christmas because our little guy will be born around then. All of a sudden I started to cry SO much. I said to my DH remember how horrible Christmas was for us last year? I had my D&C 5 days before Christmas. It's so strange how things work out. Last year was the worst time of my life and this Christmas we will be blessed SO much.

Thanks again.
