Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Haven't experienced that myself but just as my 5 year old was diagnosed, I found out I was pregnant.
I had had an earlier ectopic pregnancy - the due date would have been the exact date T was diagnosed. Not sure I ever would have coped with that AND a newborn. I am a strong believer though in everything happening for a reason.
We had been wanting another for quite a while and it just hadn't happened but as I was having a weepy moment in hospital following diagnosis, I clearly remember thinking 'Thank God we never had another...' Little did I know, I was already pregnant!
I did wonder how I would manage always wanting to 'prickle' the new babe to check, and I'm sure the poor girl will frequently have needles brandished at her whenever she has an out-of-the-ordinary tantrum, but we'd cope. Awful as it sounds, because I'd never ever wish it on anyone, it would be no hassle now.
I cried a lot during the first year; I never know if that was the grief, the shock, the harsh reality of our new 'normal' or the bloody hormones! Probably a mix of all of them but it has certainly calmed down and I haven't burst in to tears at the unfairness of it all for quite some time!
Sorry for the rambling post but just wanted to say I (kind of) know how you feel and to take heart really; it won't always feel like this.
