I've been pregnant 3 times, and had 3 healthy, fullterm babies....now aged 13, 26 and 28. I'm also the stepmom of a 21 year old, who I've known and loved since he was 4 years old. I was born to be a mother....biologically, sure, but I mean emotionally. It might be my most natural role in life. I truly can't imagine a satisfying life without parenthood.
My son and his new wife are almost 4 months pregnant with their first child, our first grandchild. They received the news yesterday that they might lose this baby to miscarriage. They're bewildered and overwhelmed....they seem numb. She's confined to bed, and seeking the help of medical specialists.
I've heard that spontaneous miscarriage happens routinely, but there's nothing routine about losing one's unborn child or grandchild.
It feels sad to lose a precious child you never got to know.
