Hi IM's
I Iost my daughter at 21 weeks last month & I was wondering when other Mum's started TTC again?
Were you 'high risk' throughout your pregnancy and what was involved?
Did you have regular ultrasounds, bloods, check ups ect?

Firstly I am so sorry for you loss! We lost our little girl at 23 weeks, and decided to try again after we got the all clear from our doctor at 6 week checkup. Less then a year later we gave birth to a very healthy baby girl.. And had what they consider a low risk pregnancy, although it didn't stop me freaking out over every little thing! We ended up having only 1 extra ultrasound other then that was a very routine pregnancy. I have no regrets in our choices, but do make sure your mentally prepared as you are still grieving for your little angel!
best of luck, hope all goes well for you x
My daughter past away at 37 weeks last year in April. We didnt even begin to think about having another child until around 6 months after her passing. By nine months after her loss we conceived another little girl. My pregnancy was high risk due to cord compression being what they thought caused her passing. I had to give myself daily injections into the stomach until 1 week prior to induction at 37 weeks. Being induced was also another way they thought would help reduce the risk of losing another baby as I have quite big babies. My pregnancy was very difficult emotionally and psychologically but with my super supportive medical team of inhumane, specialist sonographer etc they kept an extremely close eye on me. I had quite a number of extra ultrasounds to monitor the cord and blood flow through it. Right up until induction and having her in my arms I was extremely anxious and very paranoid. Please if you need to talk to someone about your daughter and pregnancy I'm happy to chat to you. An now I have a happy and very healthy 3month old little girl.
