Dear Island Girl, sorry you are going through a tough time. I can relate to your concerns and desire to have another child. I had 5 miscarriages, one of them was alive for 4 hours but could not sustain life. After months of grieving and attending support groups, I get pregnant again and had to stay 5 months on bed rest, all sown up too! I was beyond myself as I was finally able to fulfill my biological, maternal role for the first time. Two years later I was surprised with a second pregnancy. Despite all the risks my body presented, I held the pregnancy by staying on bed rest again for 5 months. I was blessed a second time but it was not an easy journey.
Motherhood is a state of mind and many women want their own biological offspring. But it is in the willingness to give love, nurture, etc that we can decide if it is really necessary to have your own biological product. With so many kids in the world longing for a loving home, have you considered adoption? If you are driven by a desire to give love and nurture a child's live and not just a maternal instinct that you wish to satisfy, adoption could be a good option to consider.
