    Lost a child
    Have you ever been pregnant and lost a child? I did and I was devistated I still cry when I see people with babies that are happy and healthy when my baby didn't even have a chance. My baby died inside of me. I had a misscarriage. Could I still have misscarriage and what is my risk

    What was the reason for the first miscarriage? What does your Doctor say? I have been in your shoes and it's not easy.

    The reasons for miscarriages are rarely known. Many doctors put it at a genetic factor stating that the fetus would have never survived outside of the womb.

    I had to medically terminate a pregnancy for similar circumstances. It was the right thing to do, and I am fine with it.

    And I've been there 4 times - with no answers, although now I'm told that "today" testing procedures are more advanced and "could" make a difference. Sad business all the way around, no matter what the reason is. My Doctor pretty much said, "enough."

    Tests are only done if the baby weighs a certain amount of grams. If they are under that weight, testing is usually not done.
