I thought my days of being pregnant were over. I have a 10, 8, and 5 year old. I work full-time and for the first time this year I did not have to worry about child care during school hours. I was comfortable with our family size but my husband wanted more. Sept of 2011 I found out I was pregnant with my fourth. This came as a complete surprise. I was happy and anxious. Unexpectedly at 20 weeks I found out during a routine scan that there was no heartbeat. We were devastated to say the least. I had just started to come to grips with the fact that I was going to have another baby and then I lost it. Ozzie was born Feb.4th 2012. He was so small but still beautiful and perfect in every way. We had every test done the hospital offered including a full autopsy. All tests have come back normal. I keep wondering if maybe it had something to do with my age. I am 35 and haven't had a baby for 5 years. Now I am struggling with what to do next. I know I can not replace my son, but I feel so empty. I thought my family was complete but now it feels like someone is missing. I do not know if trying to conceive again is a good idea. I would like some advice from some other moms out there who may have been through this same thing. I feel like the only thing holding me back is my age and the fear of this happening again.
