Early conception after miscarriage ‘safe’, study confirms

In fact, conception less than three months of miscarriage reduces the risk of major perinatal complications, say Curtin University researchers

Women can safely conceive within three months of a miscarriage, according to Australian researchers whose study challenges international guidance to wait at least six months to avoid perinatal complications. 

The findings, based on data from nearly 73,000 births, suggest the longer interpregnancy interval is unnecessary and does not reduce the risk of preterm birth, small for gestational age (SGA), or gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
