Stillbirth 21 weeks..when to try again?

Question

Hi there. 
I delivered my angel last Wednesday, December 13th. The only conclusion anyone has come to has been placental problems. We are truly devastated at the loss of our son. We are wanting to try again as soon as possible. Has anyone had placental issues cause late miscarriage and go on to have a healthy pregnancy? I am so scared this will happen again.

Answer

I'm so sorry for everyone's loss. A loss is so hard. So many hopes and dreams die with our little ones. I lost mine at 23 weeks due to IC. We waited 2 cycles. I delivered naturally, so the post partum bleeding was the first cycle.  Second cycle my period returned only 4 days later than normal so we decided to start trying. I'm now in my two week wait. The only thing I want more than my rainbow baby is our daughter, whom we lost. So we're trying our best to move forward. You'll know when you're ready, but the advice varies between 1 cycle and 3. Some doctors even recommend 6. Find out from your doctor what he suggests. Take your time.

Answer

I lost my last at 17 wks in June. Dr didn’t see it but when dehydrating her placenta we saw that there was an issue with the cord. 
It took awhile for my cycle to become regular but I got pregnant again after 3 cycles. You can try when you’re ready.

My husband and I just lost our baby girl. I was 35 weeks pregnant. We also want to start trying again asap. Seems to help me cope and ease the pain a bit.

Answer

Hi, I'm so sorry and dont really have words for you other than it gets better. I lost my baby at 14.3W to a probable placental abruption (heartbeat was fine a few hours before and too much blood to be much else). Other than really focusing on extra good nutrition, low stress to keep BP low, and no high impact accidents (car accident, falling down stairs, etc.), I haven't found much to do to prevent placental issues.

Answer

So so sorry for your loss. I lost a baby at 22 weeks for different reasons.. But we waited 3 full cycles before trying again. It's so difficult but time definitely helps heal.
