Hi everyone,
I had a stillbirth at 23 weeks just 1 month ago. My daughter passed away due to incomplete cord formation. I had an uneventful vaginal delivery.
I started af yesterday so now dh and I are talking about ttc. My ob didn't give me a time frame to wait. She just told me to come in as soon as I get my bfp next time.
Emotionally, I feel ready. I worry how long it will take as my cycles are 35 days. I suffered 2 losses last year and want my rainbow baby so badly.
How long were you told to wait and why? Did you follow doctor orders?
Re: How long were you told to wait after stillbirth?
I am happy to hear another doctor who is okay with not waiting. All the reading I am doing us making me nervous because it says 3-6 months. I just don't know if I could handle another loss, though I know nothing is guarnteed.
I am now 11 weeks pregnant, 6 months after my son's birth.
Little boy due July 31st 2016
It IS extremely hard on my emotions , but I don't think it would be too much different if I waited the 6 months. It will be hard regardless, but just try to stay positive
I had one doctor who felt I had an abruption, but my regular ob says it was secondary to my daughters death. It's so hard not knowing, but I know I will worry jo matter what. I do bbt charting so maybe I'll wait to see how this first AF plays out.
I saw a different ob and he told me "to do the right thing and wait 3 months". So far I am just over 6 weeks out and I haven't ovulated yet. I will likely let this cycle end and then start trying. I'm just so broken and anxious.
