Understanding Risks After Miscarriage: A Medical Perspective

Question
hi i had a miscarriage on april 6 2004 it wasnt confirmed until april 15 and i think i conceived again on april 13 what risks am i taking in keeping this baby?

Answer
Hello Kylee. As long as this current pregnancy proceeds normally, there are no risks to continuing it. You just need to relax and allow things to proceed. If your body is not ready to carry a pregnancy, this one will also abort. If that happens, use birth control until you have had at least 3 normal periods before you attempt conception again. I would also suggest a consultation with a naturopath about your food plan- sometimes changes in your food will allow your body to carry a pregnancy. All the best- Cheri.
