Some couples believe that trying to get pregnant after miscarriage must be very difficult decision because they can't get over the pain of losing the baby. However, some women want to get pregnant again. The most important thing that you need to keep in mind is that it was not your fault for your miscarriage. Many women also thought that what happened was caused by something they did.

It is not totally understood why women miscarry. Miscarriages that occur in the first twelve weeks of a pregnancy are believed to be the result of a random occurrence of chromosomal abnormalities present in the foetus, and this inhibits its normal development and causes a miscarriage.

However, getting pregnant after miscarriage is not all that difficult. It's deciding how long to wait that's the hard part. This situation is completely undesirable for any couple; on the other hand many people want to get pregnant right away without thinking further. Sometimes couples get confused between what to do, and keep going back and forth. At times like this it is very necessary for these couples to take out time and be able to make the right decision for their future.

Some other health agencies described that miscarriage usually occur during the 13 weeks of conception and it often happens without the knowledge of the woman. This is due to the fact that it comes out during the menses in form of bleeding and so for that fact it makes it difficult for the woman to realize.

Risk Factors Affecting Miscarriage

There are a number of causes and reasons for miscarriage; most of them deal with how safe your body is during the pregnancy. Two major factors include hormonal problems, infections or maternal health problems, as well as an unhealthy lifestyle (i.e. smoking, drug use, malnutrition, excessive caffeine and exposure to radiation or toxic substances.)

Take care of your emotional health

Trying to relax after a miscarriage might seem easier said than done, especially if you're still going through the maze of loss. However, there is a lot you can do to reduce stress the next time you conceive. It's perfectly normal to feel scared, pessimistic, or worried that your next pregnancy might not turn out well. But it won't do you any good to deny these feelings or keep them bottled up inside you.

Finally, as we all know that pregnancy is a very complex stage, you will have to be more careful because there are two people that their life is involved and that is your life and that of your baby. Those are few things you have to understand before getting pregnant after miscarriage. You may also feel less inclined to immediately tell friends and family that you are pregnant again. Many couples choose to delay telling anyone until they are beyond the time when they miscarried previously.

It can also help to find groups that get together to discuss pregnancy and miscarriage. These types of groups have many couples that have experienced very similar situations that you can relate to, and can be very useful in easing the amount you worry.
