i think its perfectly fine as long as you are stable financially and emotionally. babies are hard work but if you are ready then why not? its normal as well for you to have felt attached to your baby and after loosing him you may want to try again

best of luck to you and my name is suzy
im here if you ever need to talk
im 16 yrs old and 25 weeks 3 days pregnant

No one can tell you what's right or wrong for you. Only you can decide that. You should consider the following though:

-Money. Could you support a child's basic needs?

-Housing. Do you have a stable place to raise a child?

-Bills. Goes along with money.

-Future plans. Do you want to go on to university? Do you have a dream job? Are you planning to stay home with your child (and are you able to do that?) or will you rely on using a nanny/daycare and work instead?

-Relationships. Is your partner ready and willing for a child? Are you hoping to marry some day? If you and your partner split up, are you prepared and okay with being a single parent?

-Emergencies. Goes along with money as well. Do you have a "rainy day" fund you could draw from if there's an emergency?

-Support system. Do you have people you can rely on to help you through your pregnancy and afterward with your child?

-Emotions. Are you trying to replace the child you've lost? Do you feel truly prepared to end your "childhood" and become a mother?

There are other factors to consider as well, but I'll leave you to consider these first. Either way, I wish you the best of luck, and I invite you to stay around and listen to other women as they talk about their pregnancies, babies, and lives with children. Best wishes.

I'm with everyone else. I feel that 18 is old enough where IF you can support it and *want* it, go for it!

Aside from that: having a desire to become pregnant again after losing one is very very common.
