List of the most popular hashtags for theme #STILLBORNBABY

My page started with Onyx. Anyone who follows my page knows that I post photos of Onyx. I tag photos of Onyx with relevant tags and try to be cautious of not tagging general pregnancy or baby related tags as to not have the photos pop up in a general feed. This limits how often Onyx’s photos pop up in non-baby loss community related feeds. I do this to limit contact with those who make rude comments about what babies are/aren’t “acceptable” to see. ⁣ ⁣ Well yesterday I was informed that one of my photos on Instagram has been deemed “sensitive” (I’ve since learned that several are blurred). The photo has a warning before it reading “This photo contains sensitive content which some people may find offensive or disturbing”. The photo is of Onyx in a standard looking hospital newborn hat, snuggled into a little blue blanket. Someone reported this photo and Instagram’s team decided it is offensive or disturbing to the point where it should be blurred. While I am all for content warnings, this is not okay. There is nothing “offensive” or “disturbing” about the photo. Yes, Onyx was only half way developed when he was born, but there is no blood or anything “graphic” shown in the photo. ⁣ ⁣ I know that some people who have lost a baby themselves have issue with seeing photos of miscarried and stillborn babies and that’s okay. You aren’t obligated to share your own baby or like the photo of a miscarried or stillborn baby that you come across. But please don’t report someone else’s baby as “offensive or disturbing”. You can simply unfollow, block or continue scrolling. ⁣ ⁣ I will be contacting Instagram regarding their policy. I’m sure it is going to be a battle but it’s one worth fighting. Our babies aren’t offensive. Blurring them is.

The expectations I had for my baby before he was born were of any wanting mum all the things we bought for him everytime we spoke about him to other people I worked nights in a dementia care home so had a little bit of a rough pregnancy then had a fall at 26 weeks that led me to go on early maternity as my ankle was sprained so badly, after that fall I felt like I was constantly trickling water but when seen was told everything was fine on more then one occasion, we were so excited to see this little boy couldn’t wait to see him with his siblings to see what he looked like if he was more like his daddy or me as his brother is a spit of his dad, i got to 11 days over due and we New we were to be induced the next morning so I did what a lot of other expectant mums do I got the house completely Spick and span so had my mind on other things I can remember him moving as I had a little bounce on my gym ball and felt as tho he was having a little boogie in my belly so this is how I no my poor baby’s heart beat stopped while I slept that night, my heart breaks everyday knowing I could have prevented this if I didn’t fall asleep that night what if I didn’t clean the house and just relax I would have known, and I’m not going to deny this the longer the time goes on I’m finding it more difficult I’m not getting stronger I’m not finding it easier to live with the loss of my baby more and more people are coming home after giving birth to there beautiful babies which I’m happy for them but I’m jealous that’s not me and my son he will be 5 months old on Friday how has this time passed,Ryan’s so good he gets up and goes to work everyday I work 3 shifts a week 12 hours each shift and I’m finding it hard but I don’t want to say anything to Ryan as I don’t think he will understand he probably would but I just don’t no why am I finding it harder then him o no I felt his little personality as I grew him in my belly I felt his little hiccups oh how I miss this so very much. So what do I do how do I be happy again am I being silly should I be stronger now I just feel the grief hole taking delight in swallowing me whole and I’m struggling to get out

Remembering my Harvey today... It was hard leaving him in Utah but we do have the first headstone that was made for him. It was rejected by the cemetery for a stupid reason, so it sits in our backyard. I can't wait to have a house of my own and to plant a cutting garden so I can make pretties for my little boy. For now, cuts from the bushes in our yard will do just fine... Beautiful grave maker from @quiringmonuments #stillborn #stillbornstillloved #stillbornbaby #stillbornbutstillborn

I don’t care who or what you pray to, but y’all, start praying if don’t ⠀ ⠀ It doesn’t have to be religious- it can be spiritual asking the universe for guidance during a rough time ⠀ ⠀ I would consider myself to be both religious (A relationship God...should I do a post on this?) & spiritual. ⠀ ⠀ After loss you are rebuilding your whole mind, body & soul and sometimes it takes the help from a higher power ⠀ ⠀ Here’s a simple prayer asking for peace:⠀ ⠀ Dear Universe,⠀ Please help guide me to a path of peace today. In the middle of the storm, please provide some sort of sunshine, and I’m open to receiving positive vibes ⠀ ⠀ Comment ✨ if you incorporate prayer into your grief journey ⠀ ⠀ As always I’m here to connect. Please DM me to receive a free self care guide ❤️⠀ ⠀ xo Ashley ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #grief #grievingquotes #grieving #griefsucks #grieving #grievingprocess #grievingdaughter #siblingloss #widow #stillbornbaby #dearuniverse

Still a MM. 11 months later, my heart still hurts for you as it felt the first day of losing you. I always wish and think “what would life be like with you” - I still remember that first day seeing that stick turn positive and my love for you was there that day and I knew you’d be mine. My favourite place is the cemetery, my favourite spot is yours. My love for you will always matter because your forever my baby boy. Missing you so much Cohen, everyday I do. As the 7th creeps up another monthly milestone we should be sharing with the world, photos of you growing up and I don’t get to have that with you. I love you with all the stars in the sky with my whole heart. My perfect angel up above, where ever you may be I know your will always be by me. ☀️ • • • #stillamom#stillbornstillloved#stillbornbaby#stillborn#angelmom#angelmomssticktogether#stillbirth#stillbirthawareness#stillbirthbreakthesilence#babyloss#babyloss#babylossawareness#forevermine#firstborn#mylove#hesstillmybaby#beforeandafter#pregnancyloss#pregnancyandinfantloss#memorial#11monthsold#myangel#bigbelly#39weeks#stillamommasboy#saytheirnames#myhearthurts#postloss#postpartum#mysonshine#bornsleeping

These words really resonate with me this morning. I started this instagram page last September. 2 months after I lost my first baby through stillbirth. I needed a safe place to share my story, without fear of judgment. And there were so many fears. Fear of sharing too much or too little. Fear of being perceived as someone who couldn’t ‘move on’. Fear of sharing too much depressing content. Fear of no one wanting to read what I have to say, and in turn feeling even more alone on an already lonely journey. Too many fears, too many stupid fears. And so one day in October, after only one month of sharing. I stopped. I thought that if I stopped sharing and writing about my loss, that maybe it would help me ‘move on’. I wanted to focus on bringing a rainbow baby into the world. And so I turned away from the pregnancy loss world and tried to adapt back to ‘normal life’. In December I fell pregnant with my rainbow. Life seemed almost perfect again. Sure the pain was still there, but I was keeping my head above the water. I shared our pregnancy journey on my personal Instagram @jacsainsbury . I had tried to forget about this other world. The pregnancy loss world. Why would I want to take myself back to such a dark place when my future seemed like sunshine and rainbows? Then the darkness found its way back in. We found ourselves drowning in the same ocean. We lived through one of most traumatic losses ever known, a second time. We experienced our second stillbirth. So here I am today. 2 days postpartum. Once again trying to keep my head above the water in an ocean of baby loss grief. I would like to think that losing my two boys is meant to bring me some kind of purpose. I have survived the unimaginable, twice. And I have the courage to share my story. It seems like a natural thing for me to write about. I find writing therapeutic, and if sharing my story helps not only myself, but other families to process their own loss and feel a little less alone in their grief, then I have found my purpose. So there it is. I am not a victim for sharing my story. I am a survivor setting the world on fire with my truth.
