Was it the pregnancy scare that caused the conversation or what? I can't imagine just telling my child that they could have had a sibling. What possible good does it serve? The only thing I can see is if the child asked directly about it and was of an age to understand all of the ramifications. I don't lie to my children but you do have to make sure you aren't just putting your guilt feelings on a child that wasn't part of the decision.
