From funny parody videos to sweet baby photos, viral posts make us laugh and smile each and every day – but this powerful picture really struck a chord with us and women all over the world.

 

A stunning photo of seven women has made waves around the world, and it’s all because of their sweet and precious ‘rainbow babies’.

 

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the term, a ‘rainbow baby’ refers to a child born to a mother who has previously experienced miscarriage or still birth.
