Rainbow Babies
Grab some tissues. This story goes deep.
Full disclosure Melanie asked me to share this story - A true trooper.
Melanie had lost 4 babies to miscarriage before she was 25 yrs old. She had the same partner since she was 14. They were childhood sweethearts. Melanie was 31 when she came to me (and yes she is still with her sweetheart Stuart).
At age 26 Melanie suddenly left town with Stuart and disappeared. She had told everyone that her and Stuart were going to Japan for 10 months to travel. They had packed up and put everything in storage.
10 months later Melanie returned home with a healthy baby boy in her arms named Harrison.
Let me fill you in …
Melanie found out she was pregnant for the 5th time. She was still mourning the loss of her other children. She had a belief that she would loose this baby because everyone would tell her to “be careful and protect herself in case she lost it”. Especially her mother who was always verbally affirming to her that she was not good enough and her husband was the bum that destroyed her future … These thoughts tormented her.
Rather than face the torment of another loss her and Stuart decided to completely disconnect from everyone. Renting a flat interstate as a safe haven. The whole story was planned an executed perfectly. Melanie had a pen pal in Japan and asked her to send her photos. From there Melanie would place them on her social media every week or two with an update for her family.
Melanie had a perfect pregnancy with Harrison. 2 years later she fell pregnant again. This time Melanie didn’t run away. She found out it was a boy and had a photo shoot with her pregnant belly where she revealed his name - Patrick (after her husbands grandfather).
Everything was perfect. Harrison was growing and curious about his baby brother. Stuart was excited to fly home from work and started looking for a job locally so he could be home with his family.
At 26 weeks all is going to plan. Melanie has tractions during the night and goes to the hospital. After a few hours suddenly … nothing …
Patrick was still born …
This family had already lost so much and now this …
Melanie came to me as the grief this time was to much to bear. Stuart stuck by her but things were not going well. I took Melanie through the rainbow babies process. Connecting her with the miscarriages and stillborn. Guiding her to release the emotion and anchoring a better outcome. I also taught her and Stuart about the importance of love languages.
Melanie asked me an odd question at the end. She asked me if I had a baby girl, what name represented strength I said Julia. Like Julia Roberts from Pretty Woman. A character that could survive anything by being true to themselves.
To this day it is Melanie, Stuart, Harrison and Julie. She was pregnant when she came to see me but didn’t want to admit it to herself for fear of loss.
Hypnosis is the best way to relieve the emotional trauma of miscarriage, loss and/or abortion.
