I recently experienced my first loss in February. I have not conceived yet so I don't know how my feelings will change if/when I do. But I think it would give me comfort to think that a new pregnancy, even if it's a year from now, will be of a different child who could not have come into the world as he is if not for the miscarriage. It's certainly possible that you could be pregnant again at this time had your older child lived, but it would not have been this baby. My DNA and my husbands could have come together to form a different baby, but not this one. I will never fully understand why this happened to me and another baby cannot take away the pain or explain the reason for it, but I do think that it could still be a good that came from it.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10449189050973961508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776768376583820519.post-27063700917134163702015-04-13T11:44:55.023-07:002015-04-13T11:44:55.023-07:00Praying for you as you approach this time.

I have to think He is aching and grieving with you though...and listening intently to all the prayers your children are offering on your behalf. Sending hugs and continued prayers for this child within you.MCHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13440072854625467223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776768376583820519.post-36121004364229609742015-04-13T10:15:19.313-07:002015-04-13T10:15:19.313-07:00I totally hear you..my first would have been 2.5 w...I totally hear you..my first would have been 2.5 when my second was born (or 2 if you go by his due date). Which is probably why it's so easy for me to picture our family with him included, even 5 years later. Those thoughts and feelings probably will never go away, but they do fade and aren't as painful (with the occasional cryfest that comes out of nowhere, it seems).<br /><br />Just said a prayer for you! Will keep praying for a smooth and anxiety-free pregnancy.

My first and second would be 26 months apart, but I only have the second here with me :-( we actually have friends with a daughter born 2 days before our miscarried baby was due, and a son a week younger than Maria. While she is such a blessing, sometimes it makes me sad that she is not playing with her older sibling.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06914343351803930748noreply@blogger.com
