But when it comes to emotional readiness it is possible to be on the rebound so to speak. In other words, a woman might think that if she gets pregnant again right away, that will somehow help compensate for the baby she lost. I believe that if she is still crying most of the day, having trouble sleeping and not eating right, she probably is not ready to face another pregnancy. But there are factors like fertility problems or the biological clock which may prompt someone to try again sooner rather than later. It is very important to talk with your health care provider about the chance of another pregnancy loss.
Many women are at no greater risk of having another loss than anyone else in the population.
As for any feelings of guilt, I think most women should know that it is very unlikely that they did anything to cause the loss. She is not necessarily considered high risk although that definition is used in different ways by different people. As I mention, I was not considered high-risk despite my late loss, and many women will not be considered high risk either. Other reasons for a high-risk status include someone with a history of placental problems, such as placental abruption or someone who has had two or more miscarriages already. Some people like to say that ignorance is bliss.
