Miscarriage Q&A | Miscarriage sisters 

I had a miscarriage in October at 11 weeks with our first. It was so difficult. We are now expecting again and are 16 weeks along. Today would have been our first baby's due date. It is much more difficult than I had anticipated it being. However, I can't imagine what it might be like if I hadn't conceived again yet. Miscarriage is more common than most know and I think what you are doing is very important. Starting the conversation is the first step! Thank you!

Thankyou for this, when you said it would he harder if your first loss is your first baby, that really hit home with me and I really understand now and don't feel silly when I have my moments. I never thought if you had another baby while your grieving that that would make it easier.

I find myself saying over and over as I watch this "A person's a person no mutter how small." So I say yes, your loss is just as important as your sisters, it may be different circumstances but you still invested your heart and love in pancake. Your pain is important, your loss is important, you are important! :)

Thank you so much sorry for ur losses I just miscarried a 5 week baby and they think it was twins it's hard but dad by day it helping watch this thank you again

Thank you both for sharing your stories. We have our oldest daughter, Michelle, who will be 5 this August. We got pregnant again about her first birthday but lost the baby at 11 weeks. 7 months later pregnant again but lost it at 7 weeks. Its sad to know that these would have been my children if they have made it full term, I will never get to know them, if they were a girl or boy. After those two loses I waited about a year, to let my body rest before trying again. And it seems to have worked. Chelsea turns one this June. We are planning to have one more baby, late next year and I am scared it could happen again, but only time will tell.

It's intresting how a loss/miscarriage of a sibling can still be have an effect on you. My birth mother had 7 children all to different men while still being in a relationship with my birth dad, they've been together 35+ years (since the oldest child was 2) so I don't have any full brother's or sisters. After I was born my birth mother had a miscarriage and 20+ year's later I still wish he or she had survived and think about that sibling that would have been the only full sibling I would ever have in my life. I often wonder about them and if we would have looked similar, if we would have gotten along, if we would have been there for each other and how different life may have been. Which sometimes I find strange because it wasn't my child that was lost but at the same time I kind of understand why I feel the way I do, because that little human was my only full sibling, the only other sibling that shared the same mum and dad. In my eye's life would have been so different (in a good way) if he or she was alive today♡
