23 yrs old wanting to conceive soon.

my husband & i just lost our first baby april 15 & it's been a nightmare..... i wanna try again in a few months. so it'll probably be 5 or 6 months after my misscarriage when we start tryin again. i'm really nervous it'll happen again... but i know without takin the risk we'll never have the opportunity to have a baby. anyone have any encouragement or a similar situation & can help give any good advice on tryin again? even things not to do. thank you!

My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage Feb 2007. Got pregnant again 6 weeks later and delivered a healthy little girl in December 2007. I was worried that my second pregnancy would end in miscarriage again and I honestly think that all people feel that way since miscarriages are so tramatic. Two years later I got pregnant again and that one continued as normal as well. I can't remember where I read the statistic but its pretty common for first time pregnancies to end in miscarriage and then to not have any more problems.

My first pregnancy ended up in a miscarriage that was in april of 2010 and it took me about 8 months of trying to actually get pregnant again. I am now going on 29 weeks and I couldn't be any happier knowing I'm finally gettn my family . I tried so hard that I guess I had a mind block that was preventing me gettn pregnant but once my husband and I stopped trying it happend on its own. :)

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know exactly how you feel. I had a miscarriage last July, my first pregnancy. It was really hard deciding when to start trying again. My husband was ready long before I was, but he waited for me to be ready. We started trying again in November and I got pregnant in December. I'm almost 29 weeks now. Good luck with everything and I hope it all works out for you!!

In June, I lost my pregnancy and it was rough. I did read that 80% of pregnancies are lost before the second trimester and it doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you. Your body can detect something which causes it to abort. However, I agree - if you don't take the risk you won't know whether or not it's going to happen. We decided to try for a baby in July. I didn't get pregnant again until December. I'm 30 weeks pregnant now and also 23..... That was the longest 5-6 months I think I ever had but it was worth it.

Try not to let the thought of losing a baby get to you while your trying to conceive. Stress is not a good thing for that. You'll stress enough already with trying and it may not work right away. It's hard. Very hard. But what you can do is take folic acid every day starting now. It'll help give the right environment for when you do get pregnant. If you don't want to take plain folic acid, chew two flinstone gummies every day... or start taking prenatals... Every little thing can help. Just try hard to stay away from stress.
