Deciding whether or not to try for another baby after a stillbirth or neonatal death may not be easy. The decision may depend on many things such as the mother’s health, her age, the couple’s relationship and how they are feeling. Parents who have had IVF may need to decide whether they have the emotional and financial reserves to go through the process again.
Sadly, for some parents, there is no chance of having another baby. But if another pregnancy is an option for you, we hope that the information below will help you to reach a decision that is right for you. We also hope it will prepare you for some of the feelings and experiences you may have during and after another pregnancy
