My sympathies also.

My first child made us run to the hospital a dozen times in scare of miscarriage.

I guess the only thing worse than the anticipation is it actually happening.

Alittle story about my wifes and my experience:

In 1993, we started to "try" to have a family, ie, she went off the pill. Over the next 2 years, 3 miscarriges later.. (one that was 2nd term!) we began to realize that we may not be able to have children.  The wife was really bummed out, so one day I came home with 6 dozen roses (got them relatively cheap via an aquaintence in the flower business) and a card that said "TO every cloud there is a silver lining, if we are fortunate to have children one day, we'll be rich with love! If we are unable to have children, we'll just be PLAIN RICH!".  She laughed for a good 5 min.  10 months later our first child was born. :D:D

Rip...

Wow....those must have been some tough times for you and your wife.  Lana and I feel very fortunate that this didn't happen to us on our first attempt at having a child....I would have been a nervous wreck on subsequent attempts.

The only issue now is going to be whether we will actually try again.  We are still waiting for some test results to determine the odds of a re-occurance...but from what the doctors say it appears unlikely.

Without getting into the details of what happened the reasons behind it are wrapped up in chromosome donation..

When a couple have a child 23 chromosomes are donated by each parent..22 go to the physical makeup of the child and the 23rd determines the sex of the baby.  Somehow one of us donated an extra chromosome13, which is one of the worst case senarios.  The genetic coding was screwed up from the beginning and the baby had severe developmental and physical problems.  The doctors were surprised that she was able to carry the child as long as she did....the chance of life for the child was zero percent even if it made it to full term.
