KAM, I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious daughter. Honey, it's OK to want to be pg again soon after your loss. I think after our losses, we just want a healthy baby to hold in our arms. It's such a natural feeling. Your little girl would only want you to be happy hun, so don't think you are disrespectiong her because you want another baby.
All the very best in TTC hun, I hope you get your BFP soon.

Recommented reading would be great, if you could let me know the name and author of anything that has helped you with the loss of your babies, TTC again and pregnancy after loss, I would appreciate it.
I was also wondering do you ever know for sure when your ready or does the fear mean there is always uncertainty.
Thank you for your support and kind words, I know that if I'm going to do this I will need a lot of that along the way. So thank you.
"When a Baby Dies" by Nancy Kohner and Alix Henley (SANDS publication) - very informative with information from doctors and counsellors, and lots of parents' stories.
"Our Babies Have Died - Stories of Miscarriage, Stillbirth and Neonatal Death" also a SANDS publication (no author given) - this is an Australian book published in 2008 which I have found to be very helpful but it makes me cry so I can only read it in short bursts.
"A Silent Sorrow - Pregnancy Loss: Guidance and Support for You and Your Family" by Ingrid Kohn and Perry-Lynn Moffitt. I only receive this last week but so far is very interesting reading. This has a section on becoming pg again.
"Trying Again - A guide to pregnancy after miscarriage, stillbirth and infant loss" by Ann Douglas and John R Sussman. This is the book I am always coming back to at the moment.
I got all of these books on-line at Capers Bookstore in Yarraville, Vic. I think also take orders over the phone. They were very quick with delivery. They have stacks of other books which might be helpful as well. PM if you need any more information. I hope you find it helpful.
Hi Kam, I am so sorry for the loss of your precious daughter. After I lost my daughter in Oct 08, I wanted to try straight away as well. I think a lot of us feel the same, don't want to disrespect our baby and want others to know that we are not replacing the lost one. But I do think its a natural reaction for most to want a baby straight away, so know you are not alone there. All the very best to you. If you do decide to start trying, please join us in the thread next to this one 'ttc after late loss / stillbirth.' Big hugs.
