    I'm so sorry for your loss! I have had 7 miscarriages myself, but all in the 1st trimester. I have 2 children though even though this has happened. I say talk to your doctor to find out why he suggests to wait that long for 1 and see if you can find out cause of death so it won't happen again, also make sure you have had enough time to grieve and make sure your husband is also ready to try again. If you have both felt in your heart you have grieved long enough and your doctor changes their mind then try. If it was me though and I lost a full term baby I would wait 6 months to a year at least not just for my body, but to grieve, but that's me and everyone handles a loss differently, so ultimately it's up to you and your husband.

    Some people get pregnant right away after the loss of a child.

    I would find out what caused your baby's death before getting pregnant again make sure its not genetic. But once that has been resolved I see no reason not to try again its not too soon now you have healed.

    I would suggest following your doctors directions and then after his time frame has gone by, whenever you and your spouse are ready!

    I would ask your doctor why he wants you to wait? Is it because he wants to make sure you are emotionally ready? Is it because he wants to figure out what went wrong with your first pregnancy before advising you to move forward with the next?

    when your doc says your body is ready but mentally when ever you are ready. Trust your self

    unless you want another dead baby, then I suggest you follow your Dr's orders! You'd just be plain STUPID no to!
