Thank you for your response. You are right, Im not trying to replace my daughter, I always wanted to have 3 children so I cant just sit and think about what if all the time.

Thank you for your comment. Yes it very uncommon and not that many doctors know about the symptom. With the blood work from my daughter, ( havent done our blood work yet), doctors thinks I dont have to worry about having another mentally challenged child.

I think that as long as you are working with your doctor and he says it is okay why not. You seem like a wonderful mother and you loved it why not do it again.

Thank you for your response. Doctors tells us that we shouldnt have another baby with disability. We are talking more and more about having a baby again.

i'd take a few months or so to heal (emotionally), or i'd wait until i was absolutely comfortable with trying again.

I'm sorry you lost your daughter. When you want or dare to trie mayby you can go to your doctor first. He or she can tell you about the risk and help you from the begining to the end. I hope you can make a dissicion together.

Thank you for your response. We talked to the doctors and they think we are going to have only 4 to 6 percent of having a diable children. We are talking about trying for another one soon.

only you can search your hearts for this, the memories of your daughter are precious and will always stay with you. A new baby would bring you new memories and a chance for happiness. I would try again, love is strong and although it's scary I would say well worth the risk. Be brave.
I will ask the Angels to watch over you.

If you and your husband want more children then when you are ready, try to have another one. Don't push it too soon. Also remember that Septo Optic Dysplasia is rare. You had a very special daughter. I am very sorry for your loss. I wish that I could send you peace.

I know it probably hurts a lot to have lost a child, but there isn't any harm in giving it another try if you feel comfortable.
