Don't Wait After Miscarriage to Get Pregnant Again

About 15-20% of women who know they are pregnant will have a miscarriage.  The loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks is considered a miscarriage. Many women suffer grief and shock after a miscarriage and fear there is something wrong with them or that they did something to cause it.  But the reasons for miscarriage are usually not known.  Women are often told to wait "a few months"  to get pregnant again to let their bodies recover.

A new study published in the British Medical Journal looked at over 30,000 women who had a miscarriage in their first recorded pregnancy and subsequently became pregnant again.  They found that women who conceived again within six months were less likely to have another miscarriage or problem pregnancy.  They were even less likely to have a cesarean section, preterm delivery or infant of low birth weight.  These women were more likely to have an induced labor.

The researchers wrote, "Women wanting to become pregnant soon after a miscarriage should not be discouraged."  These women had the best reproductive outcomes.

One of the best sites I have found that gives a great deal of information about miscarriages is women's health.

Yes it is better to concentrate on getting pregnant again rather than thinking about miscarriage.

I got pregnant 4 months after my first (and only) miscarriage. I had to have labor induced. This study is right on!

Can I make a suggestion? I think youve got something good here. But what if you happen to added a couple links to a page that backs up what youre saying? Or perhaps you could possibly give us something to take a look at, something that might join what youre saying to one thing tangible? Just a suggestion. Anyway, in my language, there will not be much good supply like this.
