Is it okay to get pregnant immediately after a natural miscarriage?

Patient's question:

After being pregnant for three months, I had a natural miscarriage. I've always wanted a baby, so I'm preparing to try to conceive again. Can I get pregnant right after a natural miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you clarify this. It is not advisable to get pregnant immediately after a natural miscarriage. You need to wait at least one year before trying to conceive again, as the endometrium requires a certain amount of time to fully recover. If you get pregnant before this period, you may experience another threatened miscarriage. Within one month after the miscarriage, you should avoid sexual intercourse and tub baths. Rest as much as possible, avoid overexertion and stress, and do not catch a cold.
