I was wondering if anyone after having their MWS, child suffered any misscarriages trying to have more children. The reason I ask is my son was diagnosed a year ago with MWS. We unfortunately lost him on Dec. 18 2007 because of heart failure, he was 2. His genetecist told us there was a one in a million chance of us ever having another MWS child, and it should be safe to have more children. We just started trying again and I just had a miscarriage because of a blighted ovum. The fetus didn't form, most likely due to a chromosomal abnormality. I am wondering if anyone has been in this position and gone on to have healthy children. I am looking for some hope. Thank You.

My heart goes out to all of you with all of your daily struggles. My son was a joy to be around. He had a hard life but he was always happy. His smile made it all worthwhile and he had the best smile. Every moment of every day I wish I could have him back. He was the true defenition of love.

Dear Noahsmom,

Sorry to hear about the loss of your little boy. My son Nason was diagnosed in Sept 06 with MWS. I did not suffer a miscarriage but in Oct 2004 my husband and I had a beautiful baby girl that was health as a horse until she passed away last May at the age of 2 1/2 from a tragic accident.

I hope that helps.

Again, I am sorry for your loss.

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to both of you for the loss of your children *hugs*

My mom had Kelly and then 14 months later had me. 7 years later she had our younger sister and only Kelly has MWS. I don't think my mom has ever had a miscarriage but I'm not 100% sure.

I do believe there are 1 or 2 families that have had 2 kids with MWS but please correct me if I'm wrong.
