ttc | pregnancy | birth after loss > Pregnant too soon?
Hi Ssk,
Mine wasn’t late term, but second trimester...21 weeks. We weren’t trying, but apperantly I ovulated later than I thought. I got pregnant 3 months after I had our baby girl. I’m 32 weeks now. I’m due 2 weeks after she was born. It’s a mixed bag of emotions for sure. I definitely wouldn’t rush into anything, this pregnancy has been very trying and being on bedrest for the last 15 weeks has been incredibly hard. Best of luck!

Hi Stacy,
Thanks for your response!! If you do not mind me asking... why are you on bedrest? Is it do to your previous loss?

Hi Ssk,
Yes it is. With our little Natalie, we went into our 20week scan and found out I had an incompetent cervix and my membranes were bulging. We did an emergency cerclage, but it was too little too late and we lost her a week later. I did a preventative cerclage this time and started shortening. At 17 weeks, and I actually funneled to the stitch at 24 weeks. So, I’ve been on bedrest since week 17. It’s a huge sacrifice, but I know this is our last baby and I will do anything I can to try and make it to full term.

P.s. I don’t mind talking about my loss...it’s helpful as I fell most people are afraid to talk about it or her. :)

SsK, I'm right there with you. I lost my son at 34 week, he was our first. At first we were told to wait at least 3 months. Then the doctor said he suggested waiting at least 6 months. I did have a c-section, so that is a factor as well. However, September 7 was my 3 month mark and my husband and I have started trying. We are trying to take it slow and let whatever happens just happen. That's hard though; I want to be pregnant so bad.

Hi B,
I completely understand. I am currently right around the 7 week mark PP. I've already had my period as well. My husband and I have DTD even though i know I'm not fertile yet (maybe later this week i will ovulate) I haven't decided if we will officially "try" yet.
I had a vaginal birth so i was told 3 months. However I do know others with vaginal births that got pregnant 6-8 weeks PP. I am thinking about trying and seeing what happens. But we will see. ..
BEST WISHES

I was told to wait 2-3 cycles to start trying again. However, I do not think I can even wait that long. Has anyone here been pregnant again quickly after a loss?
Thanks
