    I lost a baby in later miscarriage before my BC diagnosis.  Found out later it was because of Trisomy 18.   Since my diagnosis,  I have heard of a lot of people that have had downs babies or other birth defects babies before they had BC.

    My Doctor says there is no known connection though?  Anyone else heard of this sort of thing?

    I'm sorry about your loss.

    Have not heard this but I lost a baby at 19.5 weeks due to placenta issues (not sufficient), no genetic defects.

    My "guess" was that there could have been an estrogen connection having been pregnant and suddenly stopped.

    Mine was 10 yrs prior to bc.....so probably to far out that it would matter...

    Well, not sure, these are my thoughts, nothing that I read somewhere.
