After having a miscarriage, is your next pregnancy considered high risk? Is there any difference in doctor's appointments, like do you have one more often? Are there any special precautions that the doctors take during the pregnancy? Thank you!

When speaking of a normal miscarriage, one that is before 12 weeks no there is no difference in Dr.s appointments unless you are very nervous and the schedule more ultrasounds to reassure you. You are not considered high risk after the normal miscarriage. You are considered high risk however if you have had several miscarriages or had a miscarriage over the 12 week mark.

No you wont be considered high risk. Miscarriage is very common, more common than you think. But if you keep having them then the doctor might give you baby aspirin next time you are pregnant and might do an earlier ultrasound, maybe as early as 6 weeks. I know cause i have had 3 miscarriages. But I luckily have had 2 healthy babies since then. Good Luck next time!

I got pregnant right after a miscarriage(2 months) and everything was the same as far as appointments(I had 2 children prior, 2 since). The only thing they did was make a note in my file and if I needed to call about a problem/question they would have that to reference.
Good luck and best thing is not to worry too much.

I had five miscarriages before I had my son. I was considered high-risk, but I didn't have any problems throughout my pregnancy. I had a miscarriage 2months before I conceived my son and I'm 23 weeks pregnant with a little girl. I did end up with a C-section but everyone is okay.

It depends on the cause of your miscarrage. If you had low hormone levels (low progesterone) they will need to see you right away to get you on it and you will have a couple more visits at first to keep an eye on your HCG levels and make sure they are going up. You will get an ultrasound around 7-8 weeks then if everything checks out you go to your normal every 4 weeks apointments until 24 weeks then every 3 weeks then every 2 weeks at 30-32 weeks then every week or more often at 34-36 weeks. Good luck!

that's a way your body is communicating to you, its not ready to carry a baby, it depends on what happened, thing may be the same as far as doctor appointments and your care and some thing may have to change it just depends on the cause of the miscarriage, best advice should come from your doctor

Unless you have 3 consectutive miscarriages (like I did) they don't usually change anything. A high # of women miscarry the first time and go on to have a uneventful pregnancy.
