Can i fall pregnant again

[oscar1986]

Hi i went into premature labour 6 weeks ago 8/8/11 and i lost my beautiful baby boy he was 24 weeks plus 2 we called him Oscar and he fell asleep shortly after. Am finding it so hard to talk about it. I miss him so much. He was just so perfect. He must have been to good for this world, thats the only explaination i have. I havent been told why this happened it just happened. Me and my partner have been wanting a family for a long time. I want to start trying straight away, but am scared it will happen again. Also it wasnt easy to fall pregnant we have been trying for 4 years. Do you think it can happen, i really hope it can happen again. I feel everyones pain, and can relate to everyone of yous.

of course you will. it will happen....keep the faith. I don;t know when you can start trying again....I am new and inexperienced to advice u but it happened to my sis-in-law and she has the cutest boy I have ever seen. Think positive and tell your self it's alright...it was not ur fault. Good things happen when u think positive. Good luck and lots of baby dust to you.

Hello,
I am sorry to hear all this but yes you can conceive again and you can start conceiving as soon as you get your first period after the third trimester miscarriage. Sometimes ovulation returns earlier than the periods and hence you can start trying after 6 weeks of the premature birth because uterus takes atleast 6 weeks to return to normal after a pregnancy.

I hope it helps. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

i am so sorry to hear all of this, i have no words to console you as really what could anyone say to make it easier, this happened to a friend of mine early this year and of course she was devasted. she also decided to try again straight away. she says she felt guilty at first but she knows she doesn't want to replace her baby, just fulfil a dream of being a mummy. She says the hardest thing was leaving hospital without him,
But aparently your most fertile after a pregnancy, but its not something you shouldn't rush into if you not ready, but i would say to you , just because it happened this time, doesn't mean it wont again, i wish you all the luck in the world and pray you come through this, RIP to your lil man x
