It has always been the case that women unlucky enough to have a miscarriage were told to wait for at least 6 months after the event before they tried again for a baby. It is often the first question that a woman asks after this unhappy event - "when can I try again?" and it is true that it can be a real help to a woman who has lost a baby in this way, having something to focus on and the joy of having a healthy baby to look forward to. Well today in the news, apparently medical experts have changed this advice and say that there is no reason to wait the six months, women who have had miscarriages can go right ahead and try for another baby. There is nothing that will make up for the pain of losing a baby but being able to go ahead so soon afterwards may be a valuable aid to getting over the heartache.
