How long...

Must I wait before TTC again? I know that I must give myself time to heal since the birth of my sleeping angel Laila (12/12/12), but I find myself thinking I can't wait too loing. It's been 2 1/2 wks since I lost her and I'l giving myself time to think about thing and grieve. I feel that I'll be ready by next year but I don't want my kids to have a big gap inbetween them. I'm not sure if it's because my lost that has me wanting another baby. How soon is too soon to try again?\

Just asking for your opinion. TY

Its honestly hard to say, never having been through that heartache, but I think for me personally I would need awhile to grieve. Also more time to heal.

I think at least a year or so. But again, I haven't been through it so I do not know how I would react. I am very sorry for your loss dear. I couldn't imagine.

Only you will know when your ready. Id personally wait a year or so. Grieve first, then try. Don't try to have a baby to fill the void, ya know?

I'm so sorry for your loss.  

When you and your partner are emotionally ready, then you can try. How far along were you? How long did your doctor suggest waiting? I wish you the very best, hun.

I get the text4baby texts and the other day i got one saying its best to wait 18 months after giving birth before getting pregnant again to give your body time to heal. Sorry for your loss mama

I would def think you should wait at least the six-eight weeks. I know they say that it is best to wait a year for your body to fully recover but I know plenty of mamas that have had their babies back to back or gotten pregnant immediately after an MC.

I was just about 20 wks and I haven't been told how long to wait yet

Medically, up to a year---depending on how far along you are.

Emotionally, whenever you are ready and can accept that nothing can replace your lost baby.

I understand and I wouldn't want to have one in spite of my lost of my daughter but I have this strong feeling that I'm ready whenever that time comes.

I felt like that when I lost my baby this past May. I had this longing because I was so ready and then it was ripped away. I am now almost 12 weeks...so I got pregnant a little over 5 months after losing my daughter. I feel like this was a good time...I still cry over my angel baby and long for her, but I am getting excited for the baby due in July. I am glad I waited a little while though to grieve my daughter. I needed that and so did my body. Good luck on what you decide! I am here if you need an ear!

TY, I'm gonna wait it out and see how I feel month by month. I know I'm still trying to get myself back on track even though I know it will be hard, I have to. I cry from time to time but I've gotten better with it. So, I'm proud of me. I so know that longing feeling. It didn't hit me that I lost my baby girl till they took her away and I was like, "Did I just have another premature baby that isn't coming home with me?"..For this to happen to me twice, it took a huge piece of me. Especially with some of the negative things my family & friends were saying to me.

I lost my son at 23 weeks n I was told to wait at least three cycles. Trust me I was ready to try after a month. Just take time and heal

Sorry for your lost hun and it's such a hard thing to go through, believe me. I go for my 4wk check up tomorrow and I was told already that I dilated too prematurely and randomly so if I ever become pregnant again, it'll be a lot I'll have to go through just to ensure that I have a pregnancy that makes it over 26wks (since that's the longest I've held on to my son before having him). I hope this yr is full of luck and something good happens because we all need it. I'm always here if you ever wanna talk.
