pregnancy after miscarraige

[Serenitydawn85]

i just had a D&E amost 3 weeks ago. I was 15 weeks and went into an ultrasound and they found that the baby had acrania. i could have carried until 9 months but the baby would not live there was a 0% chance of life outside the womb, so we decided to terminate. Am i going to have a miscarraige if i get pregnant before i have my first cycle, i dont think i could handle it

Hi, im looking for a little advice. its been four days now since i had given birth to a 15 week old baby my doctor told me that the bleeding would stop within the week which it did yesterday and of course as lots of people do i decided to drink alcohol as a bit of celebration dedicated to the little boy we had just lost, but i think i had a little too much. anyway one thing leads to another and before i knew me and my partner were having intercourse. now everything was fine there were no spotting or bleeding  until i woke up this morning i am bleeding again and having stomache cramps. im worried incase i have harmed myself is there any advice you could share?

Hi!
You poor sweetie!  I am sooo sorry.  Have been through something similar, and its very difficult.
We usually recommend that you don't "try" until three months after a procedure.
There is a slightly higher chance of miscarriage if you conceive within that time.
In the cases that I have personally seen, most pregnancies seem to be "gifts" and most have continued to term.
Keep taking your vitamin, and give yourself some time to heal.  You have just lost a very important person, and you need to grieve.
Hope this helps!
