I've been amazed, too, to discover that the "no child at the end of this" has become my #1 fear, too. Replacing all the other neurotic ones I've had for years (scary terminal diseases, becoming a bag lady, etc). One "good" lesson learned, I think, is there are so many amazing, normal people out there dealing with this -- IF/pregnancy loss seems to not really discriminate. I never gave it any thought before. Maybe it'll make me a more compassionate person ultimately, too? I LOVE this post. I’ve been amazed, too, to discover that the “no child at the end of this” has become my #1 fear, too.

This post, at least some ot it makes me WANT to cry. First I understand that severely disabled fear. I am a nurturer. Hubby is too! But that DOES give me pause.. I don't think we are emotional equipped. But what gets me IS that the prochoice thing DID change for me a bit after my pregnancy at 45. I was so connected to that child . STIILL AM! Regardless that the pregnancy wasn't viablle. I MISS 'her" I REALLY DO! I didn't always feel that way! And I regret earlier decisions I made in my life. oh oh oh.
