We never told Tyler that we had a m/c. He knew we were going to have a baby, but at his age time has no meaning, so he's a bit clueless. We figured we wouldn't say anything to him and when we get pregnant again, he won't know that it took a bit longer for the baby to get here. Yesterday I felt so sad for him. He is totally expecting a baby brother. I bought a pair of rain boots for Isabelle and decided to get them in a dark colour rather than pink. I found these cute Winnie the Pooh dark blue boots with a red sole. Tyler picked them up and asked who they were for. I thought he wanted them for himself and explained that they were Isabelle's + they were too small for him. He just said: "THey have red on them, they will be perfect for the baby boy". I just wanted to cry. So I've got to try really hard to time it right so we conceive a boy! I know I will be happy with boy or girl, but Tyler will be so disappointed if it's another girl... When Isabelle was born he refused to believe it, he actually told me that there have to be twins. That's how bad he wants a brother.

Ahhh That's so hard. How old is Tyler?

My 12-yr old asks a lot of questions about everything. I'm glad we decided not to tell him about the pg until the 2nd trimester, or he'd still be bringing it up.

Tyler will be 6 in May. My DD is almost 10 and she took the loss really hard. She had told all her friends already and was really excited. I think I will definately wait this time untiil 12 weeks to tell anyone.

Awww. My stepdaughter wants a little sister so bad too. She has a little brother by her mom and stepdad. Then we had Wyatt. She was so disappointed. I finally sat her down and said it was probably a good thing because she would have to share all her toys with a little sister. And she said, "Yeah, that wouldn't be fun and she would always take my stuff." So hopefully I didn't screw up anything if we do have a little girl in the future. Good luck though!

Oh Trish, I'm so sorry!!!! I think you shouldn't tell Tyler about the loss...just because he'll take it extremely hard...he already seems to be very strong minded!

I'm sorry girl!!!

Oh no. I honestly don't know what to say. It's horrible.

I told ds there was a baby in my tummy and for about 2 weeks after I miscarried he was still patting my belly and giving it kisses. If we get pregnant again we're not going to tell him for awhile.

I know that had to be hard for you. Hopefully your DS will have a baby brother soon. I really hope you get your BFP soon. My DD is 10 soon to be 11 on May 16th and she also took my M/C really hard. She is an only child and has been wanting a baby brother or sister for a long time and when I told her I was pregnant she cried and I asked why she was crying and she said because I am just so happy. I wish I hadnt told her but a M/C was never something I thought would happen I mean I had been spotting but I still didnt think I would M/C. So I told DH the say as you I am going to wait until I am 12 weeks before I tell anyone. I will tell DH and my DR of course but I will not tell anyone else. I may tell my sister but I havent made up my mind about that yet.

Wow. My kids are young we told them mommy and aunt Andrea were both gonna have babies. She was due 4 days before me. So now we told them Aunt Andreas baby will be here and then later mommy and daddy were gonna have one cause we are trying to find the perfect brother or sister for them. They have no clue where a baby comes from or what pregnancy looks like so it has worked.
