LONDON — Women who suffer a miscarriage may have the best chance of having a baby if they get pregnant again within six months, new research says.

Doctors in Scotland followed nearly 31,000 women who went to the hospital for a miscarriage in their first pregnancy and subsequently became pregnant between 1981 and 2000.

Among women who got pregnant within six months, 85 percent had a healthy baby.

Among women who waited more than two years to get pregnant again, the rate was 73 percent.

The study is published today in the medical journal BMJ.
