I have an almost 5 year old and we tried to have another for several years after she was born with no success. I've had 3 miscarriages since she was born, the latest at Easter this year. I'm 43, I've come to terms with only having one, and the last miscarriage is still recent enough for me to dread it happening again. But I know its going to, and I almost want it to, to get it over and done with. I can't be happy, just hacked off I'm going to have to go through it again. Fair enough to anyone who says we should have used contraception, I just figured I was too old now, seems I was wrong! My daughter will be 5 1/2 if this baby does make it through to being born, that's a huuuuge age gap, and she's so used to being an only, I'm not sure she will cope.
Aaggghh, I just wish I could go back to that excitement I felt the first time I ever saw two pink lines on a test and not feel a sense of dread instead.
