pregnancy after stillbirth

[chantelleAlyce]

So as you all no I had a still birth at 19 weeks 4 days. Which I'm devestated about. Rileys funeral will be held next week and I'm getting his name tatooed on my wrist iv got him a baby book filled out with as much aw possible and his certificate is on our wall, iv got photos and I'm making him a rememorabila and a photo album, it was so devastibg and I love my boy so much.
I no a lot of you will call me crazy however I do not plan on going on contraceptive after this, I think in some ways a baby will help ease the loss of my poor little boy, I want another boy and I want his middle name to be Riley. I was wondering my doctor did say it was safe after iv finished bleeding to try. But I'm affraid that I won't fall pregnant or will misscary or have another still born they said its not likely to happen but I'm still so worried. With Connor he was conceived on the pill and was a healthy baby and pregnancy and birth and riley I conceived within the first month and they say it was his placenta that didn't attach and develope properly causing him not to get enough blood supply and oxygen I think it may have been due to the placenta previa I had. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Please no judgement in saying its to early to try we grieve in different ways. And a new baby will help me.

i went through the same thing in May.I lost my baby boy at our 20 Week ultrasound and delivered him stillborn like you. I also thought getting pregnant right after would help. my husband didn't think i was ready yet but i convinced him after 6 Weeks, and got pregnant on the first try.i'm now 27 Weeks along with our little girl. it won't make the pain go away, and up to about 2 Weeks ago i would try to forget i was pregnant, just so i wouldn't get attached incase it happened again.point is, you need to understand that after going through was we went through the innocence in pregnancy is gone. it will be very stressful and scary, but in a strange way might also help.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I have been thinking about you the past few days since you posted about your concerns. I agree with the others that given doctor consent, you should choose whatever you feel is best for you. This wasn't your fault, or related to getting pregnant right after stopping contraception. These things happen and are extremely unlikely to happen more than once to the same person.

I miscarried at 5 months, my Dr said to wait a year after to try again. I think it's more about your body healing & hormones returning to normal so that u start the next pregnancy at 100% healthy. I decided immediately that I wanted a new baby to help with the pain, and for me, it did help. I waited the yr first tho. As time goes on other things will take focus in your life and each day does become a little easier. Best of luck.

As long as your doctor says it's safe to immediately try again, and you feel ready emotionally I dont see any reason why you shouldn't. You may or may not get pregnant right away, but if you're okay and ready to try, then thats what I would do. No one can tell you when you'll feel up to it or even when you should. Just know that you, have a great support system with the ladies on this site!
