I had a miscarriage on January 6, 2013. We are doing okay and everyday it gets a little easier. I know it will take time to cope and it is something that will get better but it is something that we will never forget. We are talking about trying again but I'm scared. Currently we are just using the pull out method. So I guess if it happens it happens. I know that I want to be a mother but I'm so scared that I'm going to go through the same thing again. We are 20 years old and I will be graduating from college in 6 months. I know that we are young and I think that is why this happened to us. We were scared that we were about to become parents but we were getting excited about it. The idea just took a little time to sink in. I know that I will never forget our little angel and I don't want a new baby to replace out baby but I think having a baby will help the healing process. What do you guys think, am I crazy?
I don't think it's crazy to think ro feel that way. Having another baby can certainly heal old wounds- be it pain from a loss, a traumatic birth, etc.
I would give your body a little time. Get into a good routine of taking a prenatal vitamin every day, incorporate some exercise into your routine (even if it's only 30 mintues extra walking at the grocery store), and make sure your partner is ready, then start trying! The healthier you are before conception, the better the odds are of having a healthy pregnancy. :)
Quoting DevanF:Quoting Pandapanda:Not crazy at all. :)
You don't think it's crazy?
No, I don't think thats crazy. If you and your partner feel ready then give it a try. Don;t let fear take over you, in life a person has to live n the present moment. Good luck

You're not crazy for wanting another child, no. Though I highly doubt "being young" is the reason behind your loss. Just take the time to heal emotionally before you jumping into another pregnancy. Lots of good thoughts.

There is no way you guys brought it on yourselves. It just happens sometimes. Hugs.
Good luck ttc!
TGIF! What are you doing this weekend?
Are you a first time mom? If not, how many kids do you have?
