Jesus, I had my 6 week postpartum checkup yesterday. IT was awful, not the exam, it was seeing other happy expectant moms.

She told me I could try again when I'm ready, the thing is, I dont' know if I'll ever be ready. How will I ever relax? I'm not worried about the chance of early miscarriage, I'm worried about delivering another dead baby.

Well, yes, maybe you can try again, but really you need to take some time and heal and physically recover a bit more. Your uterus may be back in shape, but your heart might need to get some distance.

And that's okay.

Did she suggest any further tests to figure out why it happened? Any suggestions to prevent it from happening again?

I got news for you, STAY AWAY FROM TARGET! It's like a magnet for pregnant ladies. After my mc, I cried every time I went to Target.
At least my OB scheduled me for the last appt of the day so there weren't happy, expectant women there when I showed up.

I didn't wait very long before we tried again. I got pg 3 months after the mc & had a perfect, beautiful little boy. But, you go at your own pace. When it feels right to you, you'll know.
