I was 27 weeks pregnant (1 week shy of 7 months) and i found out that my baby died last week. I was forced to go into labor as any normal pregnancy and deliver a 'stillborn'. It was a boy, we named him Spencer. He looked just like my husband. Its been really hard for the both of us as you can imagine.
My husband and i both wanted this baby so bad. We had everything ready for him. Its been 1 week today since i delived the baby boy and my hubby is already talking about me getting pregnant A/S/A/P.
How long should i wait to have intercourse after birth? (remember this was a 2lb baby, so no tearing or stiches) When hould we start having another baby?

first: i'm trully sorry for your loss.
that happened to us too. I had a still born at 21 weeks. I started going into labor so early due to an amnio centesis test i had.
my doctor sayd to wait three period cycles. they are treating my birht, and of course yours because you carried longer, they are treating it like a normal 9 month delivery, so we should wait like 3 months
my baby was a boy too and we named him Isaiah

I am so terribly sorry for the loss you and your husband have had to endear!
My friend lost her baby boy last sept (2week's BEFORE her due date!) She is now due in 5 week's with another baby boy! I really think it depend's on you and your husband. But normally between 2-6 month's you should wait, you need to give your body time to get back to normal after that! Again I am sorry for your family's loss,but keep the faith! Good luck!

i'm fairly sorry on your loss. My sister-in-regulation went in the process the best same undertaking basically she grow to be basically approximately 5 or 6 months alongside -- she had a boy. This got here approximately in November of 2004 and he or she grew to grow to be pregnant lower back in July of 2005. They waited some months to grieve and cope with the dying of their 2d toddler earlier they tried lower back. that they had a healthful toddler boy this previous April. From what i'm examining, some are asserting which you may wait till you have an entire era, yet I say be emotionally and bodily waiting first. there is not any could rush lots. you're physique may well be waiting, yet you won't be (not yet besides). stable luck and lower back, my private sympathy.

I had a full term stillborn baby boy and I got pregnant 4 months later. Let your Dr be your guide. You still have allot of emotional healing to do!

I am so sorry for your loss.. I can't even imagine what you guys are going through!
Are they doing an autopsy? Do they have a reason why your baby's heart stopped beating?
First whenever you guys are ready to get pregnant.. and second.. doctors usually suggest waiting 3 menstral cycles to start trying again....
Again I'm sorry for your loss.. and good luck getting pregnant again.

I am really sorry for the loss of your baby Spencer. You need to talk to your doctor as they will know when it is best to start trying again.

I am so very sorry for your loss..........my sister had her baby when she was about 27 months and Mia is wonderful but she does have quite a few disabilities.....she is blind in one eye and a little deaf and even though she is 2 yrs. old she still eats baby food but i know they are still so happy to have her in their lives. I can understand how your husband wants to try again so soon but i think i would heal first and then ask your dr. if it's ok to start trying again...............good luck and i hope you'll have a beautiful healty baby real soon..................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm deeply sorry for your loss. It must've been so hard. We can't give you the best possible answer to this, but your doctor can. Go and ask to see just how long you'll have to wait. You're in my prayers

I'm so very sorry for your loss.
Give your emotions time to grieve for the loss and your body time to heal from the stillbirth. There's no set time table, but maybe in 6 months.
