For pregnant expectant mothers, sometimes it's easy to cause miscarriage if you are not careful. How long can you get pregnant again after miscarriage? According to research, you can get pregnant again after 6 months of natural abortion, so expectant mothers and fathers who want to have children must not be too anxious!
It is generally believed that after abortion, you need to rest for a period of time. The longer you recover, the more likely you are to be pregnant again and have a baby. However, a new study published in the Journal of the European Society of human reproduction and embryology, human reproduction news, found that a second pregnancy within six months after a natural abortion could reduce the risk of a second abortion by nearly a fifth.
In order to find out the specific impact of second pregnancy within six months after abortion, Dr. Sophie Middleton batachya, a researcher from the University of Aberdeen, UK, and his colleagues analyzed the results of 16 studies involving 1.04 million women. The results showed that the rate of recurrent abortion decreased by 18% within 6 months after spontaneous abortion. One of the key reasons was that the folate level in women was still very high during the period after abortion, and the second pregnancy could be used by the fetus. The study also found that pregnancies within six months of spontaneous abortion reduced the risk of premature birth by 21%, but the incidence of low birth weight infants and stillbirth did not change. In addition, the risk of preeclampsia (pregnancy induced hypertension) did not increase in abortion women who became pregnant again within 6 months.
A 2010 study by Dr. batachaya and his team also found that the likelihood of a second miscarriage within six months of a natural abortion was low. According to the analysis of scientists, the greater risk factors of abortion include: old age, induced abortion, post-traumatic stress disorder caused by abortion, etc. In contrast, it is safer to conceive within 6 months after a natural abortion. Of course, before you get pregnant again, you must go to the hospital for an examination to make sure that your body has recovered before you get pregnant.
