Pregnant 2 weeks after miscarriage?

When I had my last miscarriage, I started trying again immediately, and was part of a long running thread on baby and bump with over 100 regular contributors who all did too!

It is a very very common reaction to pregnancy loss to want to start trying to conceive again immediately, so much so that about 2 years ago medical advice was revised and women are now told that there is no medical reason not to do so if that is their choice (in the absence of other factors such as the need for an ERPC or a molar pregnancy).

I think you are running the risk of losing a friend to be honest if you are letting even the slightest hint of this mistrustful attitude show in real life. Miscarriage is an incredibly painful thing to experience, pregnancy after loss is also very tough and women are incredibly sensitive to any hint of unkindness or criticism in such circumstances, including any hint they have been a drama queen over their loss/fabricated their former pregnancy/rushed into a new pregnancy unwisely.

Why on earth would you think I'd mentioned anything at all to my friend?

I hadn't realised that it was biologically possible to get pregnant so quickly. I asked here instead of saying anything to her!!

Just wanted to wish your friend good luck with her pregnancy and to all the others who have recently had good news. After having previously undergone fertility treatment many years ago(3 healthy boys) I know how devastating it can be to suffer a m/c. xx

Physically, no. But in terms of mental trauma? I'm sure it would work very similarly in my mind -

A miscarriage very early on is nothing like losing a full term baby, and you can't be sure of how you'd feel unless it happened to you.
