science has shown that the time right after a miscarriage seems to be a very fertile time for women, they way I look at it is why would our body be extra fertile if it was really that dangerous?? the baby aspirin could help prevent depending on exactly why the miscarriage happened. I know you are going to be a bundle of nerves until you hit that 12 week mark, but also my OB for my first child said to us that once you see the heart beating on the ultrasound that the chances of a miscarriage go way down, take heart and best of luck to you

I had a miscarriage 2 1/2 years ago at 12 weeks...that was on October 30th...I got pregnant again right at the beginning of december...I was also told by my doc that I should be fine...My baby turned out fine and perfect and I gave birth to a beautiful 9 lber at 41 weeks and now im pregnant with my 3rd baby at 20 weeks....Just because u have one miscarriage doesnt mean that u will have another and u are not at a higher risk then a woman who has never had a miscarriage...U had your miscarriage so early on,it was prob something that had to do with the chromosomes and something u couldnt have prevented no matter what u did.
Your baby is ok,dont worry =)
Good Luck and Congrats!!!

I lost my baby at 7 weeks gestation and before that I had lost a baby on Mother's Day I was around 9 weeks gestation there. I am pregnant again and this time I have made it to 11 weeks. I get regular ultrasounds and I was told that since my child's heart beat is roughly around 174 beats per minute that I have nothing to worry about although I am terrified that I'll have to go through what I went through another time. Just try to keep the stress down and take it easy. This time my husband allows me to relax most of the day and he does all the cleaning, cooking, etc...
You should be alright but like I said if you are nervous just take it easy and if you feel any cramping (if it is severe) or experience any type of bleeding I would go into the doctor.
Good Luck and I know how hard it is to lose a child.

One of my cousins had her first child successfully and then got pregnant 3 years later with twins and had a miscarriage and then got pregnant again a few months following that and her child came out perfectly fine. I think some people may say that you're not safe because after a a miscarriage some women can be at risk and may have developed a health problem. But if your doctor has checked you out and knows that you will be fine, than you should be. Unless, something unseen happens.

I am sorry for your loss in Jan. This baby should be fine. I have a friend that had a miscarriage and about 3 weeks later became pregnant again she delivered her son 9 months later. At first he had a few breathing problems and reflux, but within a few months everything was fine. He is now a beautifull 7 year old very smart in school, and very greatfull to his mom for having him.. He tells her all the time that he was a special gift to her from god after the loss of the other baby.. "She is open with him about how he was created..."

First, let me just say that I am sorry for your loss. I know how heartbreaking a miscarriage can be.
Now, let me assure you that you will be fine. You are telling my story from a year and a half ago (and I will be celebrating my daughter's first birthday soon!)
It is soooooo scary, I know, when you get pregnant after a miscarriage. I was a nervous wreck! Always pressing my breasts to make sure they were still sore, and freaking out over the tiniest thing, like not being fatigued after waking from my nap. (Check out some of my journal entries below if you want to see how TRULY looney I was.)
They best advice I can give you is to take this pregnancy one step at a time and enjoy it for what it is - time to spend with your growing precious little one. I found that breaking my pregnancy into small milestones - first dr. appt., first sonogram, etc. really helped me not to be quite so overwhelmed.
As my doctor told me, "all you can do is say your prayers at night, and let it [your worry] go." It's hard to do sometimes, but it really is ALL you can do.
Good luck and congrats!

There's always an "official" answer to everything...including how long you should wait after miscarriage, how long you should go off birth control before getting pregnant, and how long you should wait after giving birth...to get pregnant again.
So, yes, the official DR answer is, wait a couple of months before getting pregnant after a miscarriage. Since you're already pregnant--don't worry about it! If you miscarry again (god forbid), then it's most likely NOT from getting pregnant so quickly. (I got pregnant immediately off birth control pills...and didn't wait the 3-6 months...I have a healthy boy now.)
Stop worrying, everything will be fine!
(I'm due in Nov too!)

It is very common to become pregnant after a miscarriage. Your body is very fertile at this point. Unless you have a condition in your body that is specifically causing reoccuring miscarriage, you should be fine. Only 1 in every 5 pregnancies ends in a miscarriage. I havent experienced this personally, but, it happened to my mother. Take it easy, try not to stress, an listen to your docors instructions. I will be praying for your healthy pregnancy. Good Luck!

I miscarried triplets at 16 weeks in Dec. 2005....I had to wait 6 weeks until we could have sex again, but was pregnant again within 3 months. My baby girl is now 10 weeks old and absolutely perfect!
Just take it easy, eat healthy, drink plenty of water and take care of yourself! Good luck and Congratulations!
