Answer 1

I lost a baby at 4 months and was told to wait 3 months before trying again. I got pregnant a month later and I am glad to say that he is now 16 years old and healthy so I guess it all worked out fine.

Answer 2

I would just like to say how sorry I am for your loss. Don't try to replace your first child with another one. Just remember to let your body heal before you try again. Doctors usually recommend three months before you try again.

I had five miscarriages through a period of 4 years. I thought I would never get my baby that I so desperately wanted. My dream was to be a mother someday. I never was on birth control either. I tried and tried and still had empty arms craving to hold a baby. My husband and I tried until I was about 26 and then we quit. A Year later I found out I was pregnant. I was trying not to get to excited because of all the previous miscarriages I had. At my 12 week check up, I could see the heart beat and see my baby move a tiny bit. My heart wanted to become attached but my mind forced myself to not let it. Once it hit my fourth month, we told everyone we were expecting. I was nervous but I wanted to spread my joy. I am currently eight months pregnant with a baby girl that I had been waiting for so long to have. Six years later, I am finally going to be a mother! My dream is coming true. I never was on birth control or tried to use fertility pills. I was about to loose all hope because I had the hardest time trying to have a baby. Just be patient. Good things come to those who wait! God Bless!

Answer 3

I miscarried in December of 07 (final yr) after making an attempt given that July of 07 and acquired pregnant once more in May of 08 - this being pregnant is healthful and completely satisfied up to now! A lot of ladies have miscarriages, and quite often pass directly to have natural pregnancies afterwords. I used to be advised that plenty of instances a primary being pregnant can lead to miscarriage in view that the frame is not used to wearing the brand new child.

Answer 4

First off, I'm sorry about what happened. I miscarried around the same time as well. I would say that from my experience, I did not have problems having a baby again (3 months later and only because I wanted to wait and heal). I would not recommend you to get pregnant right after a miscarriage. You need to strengthen your body and get your hormones back to normal. Your body has gone to a lot of change during the pregnancy and it needs to heal and restore itself.
I feel as though I should have waited even longer (like 6 months) to fully heal. The reason I say this is because I had a few complications in my pregnancy after the miscarriage. I started bleeding very heavily in my fifth month and I started contracting. I was in the hospital for 3 days until the contractions stopped and the bleeding slowed down. I was really scared. I think my uterus was not ready for it because my placenta had detached itself from the top a little. I was on bed rest for 3-4 weeks and I gained weight like anything. Soon after I was off bedrest, I started swelling severely. My blood pressure was fine and the doctors could not explain it. I was told to drink 1 gallon of water daily. It's seemed as though the water wasn't flushing out because I gain 20 POUNDS in my 9th month alone. I'm not sure what happened (even my doc couldn't explain it!) but I have a instinctive feeling as though it was very closely linked to the miscarriage before.

I know that we think the best way to heal mentally is to have a baby as soon as possible but I would not take that route again. Wait a little, it's ok to grieve. Spend lots of time with your family and friends. Take this time to really take care of your body. Take your vitamins, exercise, eat healthy foods and just spend some time for yourself. Once you are physically ready and emotionally healed, go for it!

Good luck, woman. I know you can get passed this! Stay strong!

Answer 5

Most doctors recommend waiting for about 3 months to get your hormones stable again. It is hard to wait and I am not sure how many women actually do wait. There are a lot more miscarriages than you may realize. So many have gone through this and there are a lot of different support groups that may help you. You may get pregnant and have more children, but you will never replace or forget this baby. It is OK to allow some time to grieve over this precious child. Best wishes.

Answer 6

Miscarriages are usually caused because of abnormalities in the fetus. I know its hard but sometimes your body knows best. There is no garantee this wont happen again you have to decide if you can handle the possibility of losing another baby as all women do when we decide to start having children.

Having said that... I dont know your age or circumstanses but if you are a teenager and having unprotected sex with different or even the same man.. you need to be tested for STD's first and second you need to enjoy your youth and think about babies in a few years when you are stable enough both emotionally and financially. If this doesnt pertain to you, then good luck.. I wish you well.
