My grandma was supposed to have a miscarriage with my mom but it didn't happen. then my mom almost had one with my brother? Will this affect me when I decide to have children?

About one in four pregnancies end in miscarriage, although that rate drops down a lot after the six week mark. So just mathematically, a woman who has three babies probably had a miscarriage along the line somewhere. Usually it's due to a genetic abnormality in the fetus that is incompatible with life, and it's totally flukey.
If your mom and grandma had later-term threatened miscarriage, some of the problems that might have provoked this (diabetes, uterine malformation, fibroids, hypothyroid or uncontrolled high blood pressure) are inherited. But the odds are you and your pregnancies will go just fine, with perhaps a little extra management from your doctor if you are known to have a medical problem.

It depends... on numerous factors. What made your grandma and your mother almost miscarry? My mum miscarried with my sister, because she couldn't give birth naturally. When I now go to have children, I have to discuss the possibility of not having the baby naturally for the same reasons my mum couldnt. Please see a professional about this. Before making any big decisions. Only they will be able to tell you for sure. Good luck xoxo

No
Miscarriages aren't a genetic disorder, actually on one's fist pregnancy, the odds of a miscarriage are very high, it's around 30%.
Keep that in mind.
