I am so sorry...I just miscarried last week. And my doctor told me after any pregnancy, whether it be a miscarried, abortion, or live birth- you should not try to get pregnant again for 3 months (or 2 normal menstrual cycles) Your body is so depleted from nurturing a life, it cannot handle a pregnancy right now. You need a couple months to replenish your nutrients, so the next baby has everything it needs. I'm so sorry, but I understand a little bit. I also want to try again right away, but just wait the 3 months... think of it as giving your next baby the healthiest start possible. Spend the next few months focusing on getting strong and healthy. Good luck

First off, I want to say that I am sorry for your loss. It can be very difficult to lose a child, especially while your sister is about to have one too.
I think it might be best for you to heal and mourn the loss of your baby first. Go out and buy a special candle or baby outfit to remember him and honor him.
By immediately trying to get pregnant again you might end up masking your feelings of loss and it could develop into a depression. You body also needs to heal to minimize the chance that it might happen again with a subsequent pregnancy. Studies have shown that it can take up to 2 years for the body to fully heal and replenish after pregnancy.
Do you even know the reason why you went into preterm labor? This might be a major indication as to whether or not it would be safe for you or a new baby.
Seek out some support groups in your area for moms who have experienced pregnancy loss and talk with those families about they processed their feelings and emotions and how they came to the decision to try again. It could very helpful for you to talk with others who are experiencing the same thing as you are and give you additional insight.
Good Luck.

I'm very sorry for your loss... i know that it is better to wait atleast 3 months before trying again to get pregnant just because your hormones from your last pregnancy are still all over the place!! If you get pregnant again to soon you may have the chance of having a chemical pregnancy where your body thinks your pregnant because of the hormone levels but all you have inside of you is a sack... so i say just take your time and you say when you and your body is ready for the challenge again!!!
Good luck with the next pregnancy!!!

I am so sorry to hear that this has happened. I encourage you to check out the resources available to you. I have volunteered with the March of Dimes for a few years and they have fantastic information to offer. You can go to www.marchofdimes.com to find info about prematurity and pregnancy and everything that you would want to know. Also look at www.shareyourstory.org it is a community of people who have been affected by prematurity. There are blogs and short stories and also a parent to parent center to have your questions answered. There are people on there who have been in the same situation as you and who are are willing and open to sharing their experiences. It is nice to be reminded that you are not alone. Best of luck to you. . .

I think the rule after miscarriage is that you can try again once your cycle returns to normal or about three months to insure a healthy pregnancy.
After giving birth you usually wait 18 months.
I don't know which applies in this case though.

I am so sorry..I know the feeling. I lost my baby at 3 months and its been 3 years and I still so badly want to hold her...my advice is don't jump right into it because honestly you need time to grieve and let yourself be angry because this new baby cannot replace your first one and I know how badly you want a baby, trust me so do I. But you have to give yourself...not to mention your body and your heart time to heal. I'm so sorry.
