The lost of a child is very difficult,he was my first child i made all the necessary preparations for him only to hear that he wasn't going to make it. I have no idea of the weight and height of my baby,I hope i will be able to get pregnant again soon! Thanks for the response.

It's incredibly hard to wait. My son also passed away. He passed a healthy 8lb 12oz 22in sweet baby due to a tragic accident during birth. He was my 3rd c-section. My uterus was very thin and I asked what my doctor's opinion right away on trying again. Everyone is different. My doctor at first said only my uterus is too thin. After some time he wouldn't say we couldn't try again. He told us to not even think of trying again for 6 months. I don't listen well at all. The hole in my heart for my son was unbearable. I longed to have life within me again. I tried as soon as I could. It didn't work, in fact my cycles stopped. I was diagnosed with a tumor at the base of my brain and it was affecting my hormones. I was able to take meds to control hormones enough to get a cycle back. We got pregnant on the 3rd cycle. 7 months since my last c-section. Although I am considered high risk because of 3 sections and a brain tumor. It's so far a whirlwind of emotions. No one should have to have a child pass away. The idea of another opportunity to bring life back into the world is great. My advice listen to your heart. Your doctor is speaking medically and giving the best advice they can. Your heart will lead you. People always told me in time it will happen, very true. Best of luck!

From experience I can tell you definatley wait u had my 2 and 3rd daughter 11 months apart with csections and it was hell on my body. I let 3 yrs go by until I got pg with this one and I feel great.

Go with what ur doctor says. She knows ur Med history and should be educated in the subject

[Fancysher]

She said to give it at least 18 months!!

Does "within a year" mean a few weeks, a few months, or almost a year?  I think many women are told to let the uterus heal for at least 6 months before trying again.  What did your doctor say?
