is it safe to fall pregnant after a misscarrige?

Question

i misscarried 2 months ago, and i am very cautious that it will happen again, it was my first and was devasted, when would be the best to start to try and concieve as im very wary! any-one else been in this situation

Answer 1

First, I'm sorry for your loss. It is devastating to loose a child, no matter what stage it is.

I would suggest waiting 3 months before trying again. You need to let your body get back into a normal pattern, and for your hormones to go back to normal. Until that time, use condoms or other forms of birth control.

I have miscarried twice and had a still birth, so I understand your loss. If you need to talk, please feel free to contact me.

Good luck!!!

Answer 2

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Yes, I have been there also.

It's safe biologically, but pysiologically, it depends how you feel. I personally wanted to keep my mind occupied and started trying again almost immediately - there is no time scale set in stone anywhere to say how long you should wait.

It is only natural that you are wary. After 7 loses, I was wary right up until I heard my daughter cry at birth - she's now 6 but that doesn't stop the nagging doubts that something might happen to her.

You're just a natural worrier like me which is understandable after our experiences.

All I can say to you is relax & stay positive. You may find it difficult to get pregnant if you are stressed.

Be patient and go with what your body is telling you.

I wish you the best of luck :-)

I mis carried last January and then fell pregnant again 6 months later.....only to experience another miscarriage. I was told it was just one of those things, mothers nature way of saying "not this time" and I've every chance of concieving when I try again. I have been advised the next time I conceive I am to make sure I inform my doctor of my previous miscarriages and I will have close surveillance and may even have to go sick from work for the whole pregnancy. It's an awful thing for us to have to go through only those who have experienced it will know but we must keep telling ourselves it happens for a reason and when the time is right all will go swimmingly well. Just tkae things easy, look after number 1 and if you are in full time employment, just remember your baby takes priority and not your job. Good luck :-)

Answer 4

Everyone is different babe, you need to make sure you are fully over the fact that you misscarried, then you can move on to starting again, don't rush into anything.
Sorry to hear of your loss, as I am a mum of 2 who has not experienced such a tragic loss, and I wish you all the luck for the future, just remember if it is not meant to be then it will not happen and at no time should you ever think that it is your fault.

Answer 5

My partner miscarried twice before having our middle child but then we had him hes now 3. We found that if you dont try so hard (if you know what i mean lol) you are more likely to concieve. It worked for us and if you can try to be relaxed about it all it will maybe only slightly but reduce the risk of miscarriage next time. Yes it is safe though to try again within a week or so after healing.

Answer 6

no offence but make sure your over the loss before trying again! 2 month is quite short if you were devistated, at the same time try not to worry as stress may not help if you do fall preg, not saying that will misscarry though, just take it nice & slow. good luck x

Answer 7

I miscarried two years ago and my doctor told me to wait three months for the uterus and the lining to heal.
Don't stress! If you decide to get pregnant again they will watch very carefully. I waited and concieved 5 months after I miscarried and the doctor told me I could not have sex for the first three months. She wanted the embryo to be firmly implanted in the uterus lining. Good luch

Answer 8

go for a check up and ask the doctor if your body can handle it yet - we can offer guesses and suggestion ive seen many say 3 months, but it's your body so it depends on how healed your body is yours might be fine now or it might take you 6 months, got a medical OK that your body is ready to try to get pregnant...and if all goes well you will be a happy mother in time (till there a teenager then not so happy)

Answer 9

My best friend had a miscarriage, and tried again 2 months later. She's now on her 3rd pregnancy since. If the doctors know you've miscarried, they tend to keep a closer eye on you than normal.
Try not to worry too much and take it one day at a time.

Good luck!!!!

Answer 10

I miscarried and was pregnant again just a few weeks later. Carried perfectly and now have a gorgeous 2 year old daughter.
They say wait 3 months, but if you and your body feel ready, you don't have to.
