How do you know when you're ready to start trying for another baby after a loss? I'm scared of feeling like I'm trying to replace what I lost. Is this a normal fear or am I just still not ready?
I've been 100% ready ever since it happened. I'm not 100% confidant anymore, but that's to be expected after a miscarriage.
You could try NTNP like PP said, and see how you feel. You said you were scared you'd feel a certain way. If you start actually feeling that way, you can prevent for a while until you feel ready.
