Conceiving a baby and having a miscarriage is probably one of the most traumatizing experiences in a mother’s life. Trying for another pregnancy after a miscarriage can be quite daunting emotionally.
But research suggests that a pregnancy that follows a miscarriage often helps to lessen the grief among couples. Although there is no ideal waiting time, many doctors suggest waiting for a few months to ensure a healthy pregnancy. During this wait time, the endometrium lining gets time to become stronger and the uterus gets enough time to recover.
Once you feel physically and mentally ready to take on, it is best to consult your doctor to understand where you stand. This becomes more important when you have had back to back miscarriages in your attempt to get pregnant. Sometimes, a miscarriage may happen even when you are not aware that you are pregnant. Therefore, it is advisable to take some precautionary measures and some tests to confirm your readiness.
Depending on your health history your doctor may suggest some tests. Here are 5 tests you must know about in case you are planning to get pregnant after a miscarriage. Knowing about them makes you aware and mentally prepared when you get there.
Blood tests:
A blood test is normally suggested to check your hormones and the health of your immunity system. Based on the history of the miscarriage, your doctor will suggest relevant tests. The blood test ensures that the hCG levels (the hormone that is secreted during pregnancy) have returned to your pre-pregnancy level of zero.
Ultrasound:
An ultrasound is normally done to check if all is ok with your uterus and cervix. The ultrasound can be done either internally or externally. This is to make sure that the miscarriage is complete and there are no traces of pregnancy tissue or blood in the uterus.
Chromosomal tests:
If you want a safe pregnancy following a miscarriage, you must promise yourself to alter your lifestyle, eat healthy, stay fit and visit your doctor regularly to ensure that all is well with you.
Miscarriages, during the early part of pregnancy is very common. Most women suffer a miscarriage even without knowing that they are pregnant. But the fact that you got pregnant in the first place is an indication that if you try again you will conceive and this time it will be a healthy one. Be aware of the tests and the list of do’s and don’ts. Getting pregnant again certainly helps you tide over the huge loss you’ve just experienced.
