After having a miscarriage can I have a baby of my own?

This type of early loss that you've experienced does not mean that you cannot have children. In fact, it is not medically considered a problem (such that you would need to see a specialist) until you have experienced three losses. Emotionally, it is very difficult, but medically, it does not mean you have a serious problem that would prevent you from having a healthy pregnancy & beautiful baby. Your chances of having another miscarriage depend on the cause of the miscarriage. About 90% of women who have had one miscarriage have a healthy pregnancy the next time. However, if you keep having miscarriages, it's possible you have a problem that needs to be addressed, such as an abnormal uterus, a genetic abnormality or an immune system reaction. The general recommendation for attempting pregnancy after a miscarriage is to wait about two to three months before trying to conceive again. There is nothing you did wrong, nor is there any way you could have prevented this act of nature.
For most women, a miscarriage is a one-time event. For these women, conceiving after miscarriage is no more difficult than it was the first time. There's nothing special you have to do. If your miscarriage was due to a medical condition, your odds of conceiving again may be different. You'll need to talk with your doctor about your specific case. In general, though, if you have a chronic disease like diabetes, getting it under control increases your chances of having a successful pregnancy. Quitting smoking and cutting out alcohol can also improve your odds. So can eating right and maintaining a healthy weight.
It is understandable to be feeling apprehensive. Discuss your concerns with your physician & significant other but only you will know when YOU are ready to try again. Family & friends helped me through my dark days, & yes, I did have children after my miscarriages. There are also many support groups out there. I wish you all the best ...
