Is it possible to communicate with 'spirit babies'?

[LittleTipple]

I'm way out of my depth with this one, but I've been reading a few articles about spirit babies. People report sensing a child waiting for them before even conceiving and having visions where they see their future child. I find the idea interesting, but have never meditated or attempted to tap into my spiritual side.

We have two DC's, but DH and I can't decide whether to go for a third. I keep going back and forth, head and heart conflicting. I do have a sense that someone is missing from the family. For example we were all sat on the sofa and my lap was empty. I instantly felt like someone should be sat on it, or I see my DC's playing and it feels like a third should be with them. Don't know if this is just me wishful thinking?

Does anyone have experience or stories about spirit babies?

I don't have any stories myself MamaButton but heard someone tell about overhearing a child talking to his baby brother and saying "I wish you could tell me about heaven because I'm forgetting"

Oh my goodness Vitalogy!

Not exactly the same thing but I've had similar.
I have four children. When I had two I would always feel like their was a child missing and when out and about would turn back and look for my "invisible" child.
Once when sitting in the living room I got the feeling like their was another child just outside the room and I wouldn't be complete until the child joined us.
I was sterilised after my fourth and I don't experience anything like this now. I feel as though my family is " done".

Sorry, but no. There's no reliable evidence that one can communicate with spirit babies. Anacdotes of people having a 'feeling' or 'experience', whilst may be compelling for you to hear, are nothing more than stories, either fictional, misunderstandings or people who genuinely believe they experienced something. The latter group being subject to a trick of the mind or wish thinking.

No, OP. This is just you being ambivalent about another child, and looking for some ‘spiritual’ mandate for making an important decision. Good luck with it.

I don't believe in reincarnation or predestination so I don't think this could be possible. I do believe 'deceiving spirits' could con those who wanted to believe though.

No.

There is no evidence that the 'soul' or any kind of energy exist outside the physical body. There is no giant spiritual repository of 'humans in waiting' that babies are somehow plucked from.

I know it can be difficult to face that, but anything else is just wishful thinking.

Indeed Vitalogy

Got any answers for the questions people keep asking you on numerous threads?

Didn't think so.

Blowing a kiss your way.

Vitalogy, perhaps you have some evidence for a soul which you'd like to share?

Will people please stop asking people who have a faith based existence for evidence. The whole point of faith is the absence of evidence - it's the great get out the argument free card and cannot be bested

Problem is, there's a lot of people who think they do have evidence for their faith based positions making them justified in believing.

But we all know that when challenged the 'evidence' crumbles to dust, or can be explained more rationally in an alternative way.

Yes it is. Before my last cycle of diui I had a spirit who smelt of baby milk hover around me. That cycle was successful after 5 failed.

Also had my best friends little brother who was an ectopic hover aswell.

If your tuned in then it's easy to pick up.
