Next Pregnancy Experiences After Loss

stacyat - 04:31am Jan 26, 2010 EST

My husband and I lost our twin girls Emilyn and Hailey on November 30th, 2009. When we talked to our Doctor about trying again, she told us she wanted us to at least wait 2-3 months and that I needed to have one period before trying again. As of this coming Saturday I will have met both requirements, 2 months and a period. So we are planning on trying again. I had a couple of questions for everyone here.

1) How long did you wait to have a little brother or sister for your angel baby?

2) What was your experience with your next pregnancy and how well did you cope with it and the loss of your baby?

Thank you!
Stacy

I am so sorry for your loss. My son Holden also died that same day, 12 days after his...

Thank you, I am so sorry to hear about your loss as well.

Yeah, sometimes I feel like now the Doctors don't always know what they are doing. They can give recommendations, but even if you follow all of them things don't turn out how they are supposed to....obviously I guess if you look at how many moms have to come to this site. Yeah, I continued taking my prenatal vitamins as well. I was anemic before birth, and really anemic after (though not enough for a transfusion) but my levels have already jumped back up to normal.

We are officially TTC now, so scary and exciting at the same time!! Sending baby dust your way when you feel you are ready!
