Knowing how easily you can be stressed, I would like to suggest to give a serious thought before ttc that you are ready for harboring only positive attitude and not to stress littleone with previous loss. You should look at the new pregnancy as a new life, new hope and a great positive change in life than remembering how mourning it was to loose pregnancy before this. Yes, this is most important.

No trips, by car or by air for you, until completion of 34 weeks, stay at one place, and bed rest in first trimeser and only a mild house activity in second trimester. Depending on progress with ultrasounds in second trimester, you will be advised on walking and other mild exercise.

I have known cases who lost three to four in a row and then gave birth to healthy baby, so tell yourself there are many who been through this situation and these sort of difficulties are fixed by taking more care than a routine prenatal practice, sure you would have to be with a high risk pregnancy specialist.

You can exercise as much as you want but only up to the end of cycle that you don't want to try. From the cycle you want to try no exercise.

I strongly recommend once again preconception checkup by a high risk pregnancy specialist so that s/he will do all possible tests before hand. Of course they will not investigate on the cause of loss of your previous two pregnancies, as by practice they have to have a patient lost three pregnancies in a row.

We are here to help you with available information and moral support.
