Getting pregnant after miscarriage – What you need to know

Once a woman has gone through the trauma of an interruption to her pregnancy the decision of conceiving and getting pregnant after a miscarriage can be a daunting one and it needs careful planning by the couple who have had the misfortune of losing a baby. It is a stressful time for both partners because a life has been lost and the emotional and physical strain can be enormous.

If you have been through a miscarriage but have not given up on the dream of having a baby then you have come to the right place. I have been where you are: over the years, in the efforts to become pregnant, I have been through several miscarriages and a pre-term birth and finally gave birth to a wonderful boy!

It is vital in the painful moment following the loss that the couple keep their communication open and talk about their concerns and fears. They should also make an appointment with a health care professionals and have a health check done. The health check will assess if the woman is ready for another pregnancy, it will also assess the cause of the earlier miscarriage. Several factors could have caused the couple to lose the baby:

• Physical causes: The woman may have had an infection that brought about the death of the fetus. There are also other health disorders that can prevent the pregnancy and these are hormonal imbalance, bleeding in the mother and weak reproductive female organs.

• External causes: A sudden traumatic injury especially in the abdominal area can also bring spontaneous loss of the baby it could be a motor vehicle collision or an accident at the home.

• Emotional causes: There are some women who are not psychologically ready for the pregnancy and some emotional factors like anxiety, depression or a stressful situation can also cause miscarriage to occur.

• Age related: Women who are over 35 have a higher risk of miscarriage. The risk is around 12%-15% in women in their 20s’ but raises to 25% when a woman is over 40 years of age.

As we see there are many causes of miscarriage and a great number happen when the egg is not properly implanted into the uterine lining due to some weakness of the reproductive organs. Strengthening the uterus with iron, calcium and other nutrients will help the woman carry the pregnancy to the end therefore the great news is that getting pregnant after miscarriage may be just a matter of some lifestyle and nutritional changes.
