Melissa, I lost a baby in Oct, 2004, to Trisomy 18. I was 16 weeks pregnant with Joshua when I had blood tests with an abnormal positive. After consultation with a geneticist, I went for an ultrasound. Sadly, my little boy had died in the few days between the blood draw (when I had an US) and the day of my consult. Joshua was my second loss. In Sep, 1996, I lost Sarah, full term cord death - still birth. I have had 6 healthy babies and one additional miscarriage, in my second month.



I know that questions like yours are asked for a reason and I will offer you in prayer this evening. I (now) know that all three of my angels are with the Lord and joyfully await our reunion. My children that are with me also "know" their siblings.



May you find peace, if it is your need. Blessings, Cathy
