No Wait Needed After Miscarriage
Women who try again soon after a miscarriage may be more successful and fare better than those who delay trying to conceive, researchers found.
In a population-based study, women who conceived within six months of their initial miscarriage were 34 percent less likely to miscarry a second time compared with those who got pregnant again six to 12 months afterwards.
A short interval between pregnancies also was linked to lower risk of ectopic pregnancy and cesarean or preterm delivery for these women, Sohinee Bhattacharya of Aberdeen Maternity Hospital in Aberdeen, Scotland, and colleagues reported online in BMJ.
