TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

An ounce of hope is gone

I went to our local market on the way home.  There was a mom and her family there.  She had a little boy who was about 5 and a little girl who was about 3.  Both kids had down syndrome.  It's suppose to be rare for it to happen twice in a row.  We lost Miller to downs.  I lost an ounce of hope, if they can have two in a row with downs, so can we.

Re: An ounce of hope is gone

  • I know it's really hard, but as someone who has worked with Downs kids for 10 years or so now - they are some of the most loveable, happy children on this earth.

    If your next baby were to have Downs, love, it wouldn't be signing a death sentence.

  • I know we will love a child with DS, no matter what.  I have worked just a little with DS kids, I had a good friend in VA that had a horsemanship program for them.  They are awesome kids.  But I will admit that's not what I desire and I"m scared to death that we would lose another DS child.

    Completely understandable.  I think anyone who has had a specific loss like that would have the same worries.  :(

  • I think you've already used up all of your bad luck, "against all odds" statistics.  I pray for sticky babies for you!
