Pregnancies After a Loss ?

ashleylb_84 - 11:28am Mar 19, 2009 EST

Hi Everyone:

I just wanted to start a conversation about women who went on to have children after a loss. I loss my first son due to an incompetent cervix/pre-term labor. have any other women experienced this and went on to have other full-term pregnancies after. I dont know what to do, when to try again, if I'll always have to do bed rest with a cerclage etc. I know each pregnancy is different, I just dont want to be scared to death to try again.

Ashley

you can do it!!

Hi Ashley,
I lost my first baby. he was born at 27 weeks due to pre-term labour and then died 8 days later of sepsis/meningitis.
I went on to have another baby and it was so tough, but I made it to 34 weeks and had a healthy little boy. I was on bed rest and had so many ultrasounds, and I worried a lot. It was hard but you can do it!! All of my worries and stress seemed like it would never end but I wouldn't go back and trade it for anything because I have my little boy.
take care and good luck on your journey.
Lisa

Hello

Hey I lost my son just this past Feb, and its only been only 5 months and now we are starting to plan another, but for us we have a very long to take and when the time is right you will know and I know that for me I want children and I have to take Folic Acid pills, so there are lots of things that I have to do before me and my Husband to start to have another, but for know just go to your Doctor and talk and see what he/she says and yall can go from there, but in the mean time just stay strong
