Q: Wife Wants to Get Pregnant After Stillborn 1 Month Ago

My wife and I lost our baby on dec. 3, 2006. She was 23 weeks pregnant when it happened. Jayden was stillborn at 2:34pm and our lives were turned upside down. Now it has been just over a month since that day and we want to become pregnant again. How long should it take before her body is ready? Our doctor said to wait three months after her first period but that seems like a long time. Our doctor seems to be very conservative. She even advised us not to have sex during the last pregnancy. Has anyone else been told that??? How long has everyone else waited to become pregnant again???

Thanks

I am very sorry for your loss.

People who are at high risk during pregnancy are advised to abstain from having sex. I was advised to abstain for the first few months as I had had 2 miscarriages before. It is adivsed that you wait at least 3 months becuase her body needs to return to "normal" it is possible to get pregnant right away but it could carry a higher risk of miscarriage or something. I would wait at least a couple of months. Give yourselves time to heal before jumping right back in.

My first pregnancy was high risk and I became pregnant 4 months later. Our second daughter was stillborn at 32 weeks. This is tough for any parent to go through. I would wait till her body heals at least. But no one can tell you when is the right time. I know what it's like to yern for another child.
