I had a miscarriage at 4months and I want to know the grieving process, also are you supposed to get a d&c b/c the doctor said one wasn't necessary in my case. Also how long does it usually take after a miscarriage to get pregnant again?

I'm not sure about the grieving process, but about getting pregnant again. I think you should wait a few months to give your body a chance to recover. Relax and enjoy not being pregnant. Then when you're ready to try again, good luck!

I had a miscarriage about 3 weeks before i got pregnant again..I am now 6 months pregnant. I think the only way to get over it is to accept it and know that it was a baby and it was YOUR baby ..and dont ever forget your baby when you realize that it will be all better. Give him or her a name and keep your ultrasound. You may not have had to have a d&c if it was a complete misscarriage in which most are. The doctors will tell you to wait about 3 months before trying again..I started after a month and it has all worked out so far!

Grieving is different for everybody - you'll just have to go with your own process. It's not always necessary to get a d&c with miscarriages but at 4 months it would have been a good idea because of the size of the fetus at that point. If it's been a while and there've been no complications so far, then you're probably just fine without one - your body has cleansed itself on its own. You usually have to wait 3 months after miscarriage before trying again.

I just had a miscarriage, too. I had some trouble with the d&c and my doctor said it was fine, not to worry about having it come out on it's own. About the grieving process: First I was so sad, then I was irritated that the missed miscarriage wasn't expelling, then I was okay with it, but now I get sad again, especially when I look on the internet. My doctor told me to wait 3 months to try again. I haven't started my period yet, so I'm not sure how trying will go. My thoughts are with you. It completely sucks to miscarry and I was/is devasted. Good luck trying again. I'm sure you'll be fine.
