A child born after loss is commonly referred to as a 'rainbow baby,' but this term can be problematic.
Meg Konig, a photographer and mom in Colorado, first heard the term shortly before she miscarried her daughter, Hope. When she delivered her son, Everett, after her loss, Konig said she wasn't"in love" with the idea of calling her newborn a rainbow baby, partly because she doesn't want to define Everett in relation to Hope.
"When I think of losing Hope and then of having our son Everett I think of it as two separate events," Meg Konig shared."For me the term aligned with the idea that we wouldn't have 'tried for another baby' if we had had a successful birth with our previous pregnancy," Konig said."It's been many years since our miscarriage, but when I think of losing Hope and then of having our son Everett, I think of it as two separate events.
Her baby Hope was not"a kind of tumultuous event that we had to overcome," Konig wrote. She wasn't the storm:"We want to remember her, herself, as the rainbow."
