Forum : Pregnancy

These things happen everyday, But what you have to remember is that even though you were only pregnant for six weeks this took alot out of your body.
My sis had miss at eight weeks and got pregnant again after two months and has just had another miss this time at 15 weeks. They have told her it is possible that not having enough time off from being pregnant has meant that her 'stores' well depleated and also because of the deppression due to the first miss her body wasnt ready.
I know it hard to hear but you should wait at least six months before trying again, this will not only give your body time to recover but gie your partner time to get his head around the idea.
Think about it carefully, if you werent thinking about kids is your relationship ready?
Hope this helps.

i had a misscarage a while ago and my partner was the same,he did not want to try again,later he opened up to me and admited he was scared of it happening again,i think we waited about 6 months but when i had my misscarege i was told by the doctor and the hospital that if it was an early misscarege befor 12 weeks i hade to wait until i had a compleat period and then try again this just makes sure that your body is back to normal and everything is working,but if it was a late one then i would have to wait longer,good luck for the future.

i had a m/c last sept and my partner was adamant that we wouldn't try again 4 @least a year!!
we argued about it so much for about 2 months after it happened and so i jst gave up putting pressure on him.he just didn't seem 2 understand how much i ached to hv a baby!!
then in march(6months after my m/c)HE suggested trying again!we sat and talked 4 hrs and he confessed that he was scared of having to watch me go through all the heartache again!he told me he'd never felt so devastated!i now feel awful about all the arguments we had,as i accussed him of not caring !!every1 forgets how the partners lost their baby too!
i'm now 17 weeks pregnant and we are both v anxious.
my advice to u is to stop putting pressure on both u and ur partner-he'll tell u when he's ready.i know it feels like ur not in control of ur life at the mo,but u need to greive properly and not rush into another pregnancy!i know it's such a cliche-but time really is a healer!!take care.

hi,sorry to hear your news.I had a miscarriage in december 2006.i had a feeling something was wrong,don't know why and went for a scan at 11 weeks.I was told there was no heart beat and i came home and waited to lose our baby,the bleeding started later that day.My husband said he didn't want to try again and was too scared of it happening again.I knew i couldn't replace our baby but i felt a desperate need to be pragnant,i think its natures way,a man does not feel that maternal urge.I didn't pressure him and left him to think it through in his own time.All i said was i didn't want to miss the opportunity of having another child because we were scared,and it would be a shame to get too old and then have regrets.5 months later we became pregnant and now have a 6 month old daughter,she was worth all the worry and heartache.I still remember the baby we lost and the day the baby was due,but am so pleased we didn't let what happened stop us from having our beautiful daughter.Good luck and let me know how you are xx

sorry it didn't show my name,by the way i'm Ali

Good luck hun. x
