Ok so this may be a long explanation/question, but I'm confused and looking for thoughts, input, experience and advice.

I'm a week post d&c with a missed mc at 9.5 wks. I had a previous mc, natural at 6.5 weeks last July. Each time it has taken us 7-9 cycles to get pregnant, we've had some testing, no male factor infertility and everything has checked out with me, hormones and hsg.

I went to see my psychologist today, as I'm still getting through this mc and she mentioned that she strongly believes that I should be on bed rest for the first trimester to prevent this from happening again. Her reasoning was that she knows many women who have needed this to have successful pregnancies and that I had just told her that today I was having triple the bleeding and cramps than I had yesterday and that today was my first day back to work and that yesterday I spent the day on the couch, she says there must be something going on that I would be bleeding more while up and active.

Anyways, apart from the fact that my psychologist should not be giving me medical advice, which I didn't really like and dh didn't either, do you think she could be right?

I know I won't get any testing until I have a third mc, but I'd like to avoid that anyways. I know that two mcs is fairly common, and statistically speaking could/should go on to be able to have healthy pregnancies,.....

I'm going to ask the gynocologist and my family dr if they think that I should be doing things differently next time, or if there is any reason I should be on bed rest, but wanted to ask the bees first, as my appointments aren't till next week.

So, do you have any knowledge or experience with women needing bed rest to carry a baby to term, esp in the first tri?

Do you bleed more during AF when you are up and active?

Did you do anything differently for your next pregnancy to be able toget your rainbow baby? Did your dr recommend anything in particular?

Am I just crazy?
