Want to ttc after mc but parents disapprove?

Hi all, I had a miscarriage two weeks ago and it has hurt me so bad but it has made me really want to ttc. The mc was an unplanned pregnancy but I couldn’t have been happier. My family disapprove of me trying for a baby with my partner and keep saying things like ‘you need to get your head straightened after the mc’ and ‘you have your full life ahead of you.’ But I feel empty like something is missing and I am yearning for a baby now. The excitement and happyness I felt when I was pregnant will never be replaced until I fall pregnant again. Please tell me what I should do? Listen to what my heart wants or listen to my parents?

Update:

Forgot to add. I won’t be trying for 2 months because the doc told me not to

Update 2:

I have a very secure stable relationship we both have good jobs with good income and are living in a 3 bedroom home

  • If it is love you feel and not just instinct your first consideration will be about how good and secure a life you can give your child. Or are you willing to end up a drab on benefit?

  • My partner and I had a similar situation an unplanned pregnancy sadly ended at 9 weeks with a miscarriage, my gf and I were devastated but it made us realise how much we wanted to start a family, we kept it to ourselves that we had decided to ttc and after waiting the 2 months the dr recommended and another 2 months of trying we got that bfp and were over the moon we told my mum first as she was so supportive the first time and she went crazy telling us it was a mistake and that I had put my gf at risk by allowing her to get pregnant so soon after the mc, after a couple days she apologised and explained it was just out of concern for us as it had hurt everyone when we mc not just us, but she was fantastic and the pregnancy went fine, what I’m trying to say through the waffling is, ur parents were probably just as hurt as u were when u mc’d and they are just concerned for you, they will come round, good luck ttc

  • When we were TTC my first, the last straw came 8 months in when yet another good friend of ours announced she was pregnant. At that point I was devastated, so my DH said were going to stop charting, planning, etc b/c it was all too stressful. Low and behold two months later we were pregnant! So, stress does play a huge role in TTC. I don’t think you need to give up completely, just take it easy for a month or two.

  • Same happened me my pregnancy was unplanned and I miscarried and it made us want a baby even more.. You need to wait 3 cycles tho your body won’t be ready for another pregnancy it could reject that baby to.. I was devastated when I miscarried so I wanted to wait a few months anyways we stated trying 4 months after it and on the second month we conceived and were expecting our little girl in August.. But wait 3 months don’t mind your family it’s your life but they do have a point you need to deal with your lose first and let your body heal goodluck x

  • Neither listen to your body. Your body is not ready for another pregnancy right now. There is a reason you miscarried. Believe me you don’t want to go thru it again. I was pregnant and miscarried 3 weeks after finding out. Me and my husband got pregnant a month later and got in 3 months with twins and miscarried again because my body wasn’t ready. believe me you don’t wanna suffer twice so close together. We were told to wait about 3 months before trying to conceive again. We waited like the doctor suggested and I got pregnant right away. We now have the final addition to our family and she will be 1 next month.
