Yes. I miscarried in July of 2009. Found out I was pregnant with my baby Izzy in November of 2009...I ended up delivering Juky 2010, within days of my first miscarriage.

Had I carried the first baby it would have been born in February of 2010. I've thought many times about that first baby, given that I have a friend who had a baby around the same time. I saw her kid and Izzy together a few weeks ago and it shocked me how close in age they really are.

I usually feel really guilty to be honest, if that baby was here, Izzy wouldn't be, but I do still wonder how much they would have had in common, if that baby would have been a girl too, etc.

My son was conceived a month after my miscarriage. I wonder about it sometimes but my son is so amazing that I don't look back with a great deal of sadness over my miscarriage at this point, since without it, I would not have him. Of course, it turns out the doctors think that first miscarriage was actually an ectopic pregnancy so there was no hope in any way for that pregnancy to have turned out well. But I wonder about it sometimes. I mean, I had another ectopic in January of this year, and am currently a bit over 5 weeks pregnant. This pregnancy wouldn't have happened without that loss, as I wouldn't have been trying to get pregnant.

I am actually alive because my mom miscarried the pregnancy before me. She talks about it openly, and I think about it sometimes too. Its never a conversation about regret, just what ifs and simple facts. So it is interesting to me that you brought it up as it's something I grew up knowing about myself.

Me, too. It is interesting, isn't it? My mom was a bit overprotective, which she always explained as a result of her difficulty conceiving and carrying a pregnancy before me. That used to make me mad when I was a kid, but I can understand her a bit better now.

My son was conceived about 6 months after our loss. I still feel like there is somene missing in my family. I thought the addition of my son would make that feeling go away but I look at him and think that the other baby would be just as fantastic.
