The Rainbow Connection
THE RAINBOW CONNECTION is a podcast for mothers navigating the sacred, often silent path of pregnancy after loss. Each episode holds space for real, vulnerable birth stories—from women who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, TFMR, or infant loss. Some are holding their rainbow babies now. Some are pregnant again, and others are still trying to conceive after loss. All are sharing the truth of what it means to keep going after life-shattering grief.Here, you’ll hear stories that aren’t often told—the ones full of fear, strength, heartbreak, and hope. These are not your typical blissful birth stories. They are stories of angel babies and rainbow babies. Of cesareans and unmedicated births. Of belly births, vaginal births, and everything in between. Most importantly, they are stories of resilience. Of courage. Of a love that endures.We believe a rainbow isn’t just a baby born after loss—it’s a bridge: a connection between what was lost and what may still come. A symbol of strength, love, and healing.If you’re pregnant after loss, trying to conceive, or searching for hope after pregnancy loss, this podcast is for you. You’ll walk away feeling less alone, more seen, and deeply validated in your experience.

In this tender and emotional episode, Lindsay Jackson shares the story of her daughter Amelia, who was born still just one week shy of seven months. Lindsay walks us through her pregnancies — a miscarriage, an ectopic pregnancy, and finally her long-awaited baby girl — and the moment everything changed at her anatomy scan. Through fear, intuition, medical trauma, and the sacred weeks she carried Amelia against all odds, Lindsay offers an honest and deeply human look at pregnancy loss, stillbirth, and healing after heartbreak.
We talk about:
• Lindsay’s first miscarriage and the difficult, drawn-out process that followed
• Navigating an ectopic pregnancy and the emergency decisions she was forced to make
• Becoming pregnant again after loss and the terror of every ultrasound
• The moment her anatomy scan revealed devastating news
• How Amelia continued to hold on for six more weeks
• Hearing “there’s no heartbeat” and walking into labor with a broken heart
• The physical trauma and multiple surgeries that followed her loss
• How she and her husband are beginning to consider their future — including surrogacy
• What hope looks like when life keeps dropping you to your knees
• The ongoing process of healing while still honoring her daughter’s life
This episode is a tender, powerful reminder that grief and beauty can coexist — and that birth, even in loss, can be sacred.
