Should reborn dolls be made normal?

[Anonymous]

I have a medical condition called polycystic ovaries and I have had 3 miscarriages since I lose my little ones everyone tells me it's not mean to be and to get over it my reborn doll (Ava) helps me get on with my life but when I took her out a lot of people just kept pointing and looking as if it's not normal I understand that some people will look. I just don't get what the big deal is

Yes

No to creepy

Simply put, yes, I believe they should be normalized.

I sympathize with people who use them.
Fortunately, I have not gone through miscarriages, but I know many people who have and many people who do suffer with conditions that prevent them from carrying children.
I think reborn dolls are therapeutic and can help people cope with the losses of their children. They also have other uses as well, so I am in support for normalizing these dolls.
It’s recommended for Dementia/alzheimer’s and special needs patients also use reborn dolls (or regular baby dolls) as a way to calm or soothe them when they are agitated. A part of their brain remembers or connects the knowledge that babies have to be swaddled, cuddled, and taken care of.. It calms patients down. Similar concept would be used for those who have gone through miscarriages or deaths of their infant/young children.

If this helps you cope with the reality that you can't have children of your own, then don't listen to what other people think. I know that it isn't the same, but have you thought about adoption? Or, if your eggs are still working, could try surrogacy?

It will just delay your acceptance of reality harder and postpone it.

When you believe a lie for longer time it becomes reality to you.

And that's not really helpful.

If it gives you comfort that's fine but I wouldn't take it outside if you don't want people to think you're a weirdo.

I didn't have a miscarriage but I do have a creepy doll.

Lita! :)

I personally believe that the realistic dolls instead of help can further make the situation worse. As it is a mental problem that needs to be helped to get out of not more in dealt with. If you were hurting and needed help you just helped yourself become psychotic in the process with now you won't only need therapy for the initial problem but will need therapy and help with the new one you just created.

if it is helping you cope then dont worry about what others think, at least you didn't turn to drugs or alcohol

um you need some serious therapy, i get that it's a difficult situation for you but it's not healthy to do something like this. if you can't have children, adoption is always an option.

[SnakeBoop]

Because it isn't normal.
I'm so sorry for your experiences, but a fake doll isn't the same, never will be, and is a unhealthy coping mechanism.

Very cute. But what happens if you get attached to her? Is this meant to just be a temporary thing or more long-term?

[tponderingundead]

if she's a sort of therapy to you and makes you feel alright, then don't listen to what others have to say.

[Pete671]

Ava sounds like she is very therapeutic for you,

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, they should be made reborn

[Iron_Man]

What exactly is a reborn doll

[Bgurl2_0]

It is a doll that's made to look like a real baby for those who are coping with the loss of children or helping them cope with the reality that they can't have children.

Thank you so much for explaining

[Bgurl2_0]
