Is it likely to have one mis-cariage after another?

Question

I already have a 2 yr. old son, but in october i had an early mis-cariage and i am pregnant again is it likely for me to have another mis-cariage?

Answer 1

no, the odds on a healthy wonam having another miscarriage are low. 90% of women who have had 1 miscarriage go on to have healthy pregnancies. Don't worry honey, im sure u will be ok. Good luck

Answer 2

Since you have already given birth to a healthy son then you know that your body is able to carry to term. An early miscarriage usually is a result of something being terrible wrong with the embryo (the one I had was a blighted ovum). I have 3 healthy children and suffered only the one m/c.

When women have repeat miscarriage there is often more to the story...either their body is rejecting the pregnancy or they and their partner together create some genetic problem etc...

But when you do get pregnant after a miscarriage you will be more on edge that pregnancy. I KNOW I was. After I saw the heartbeat I relaxed...because that is a really good sign that you will have a healthy pregnancy. Then when you pass the first trimester...that is a sigh of relief. Or course then I had the 20 week u/s and his head measured big so I started stress that he would have something wrong with him...but no...he was just a big healthy baby!!!

The other mom I know who had an early miscarriage...then 2 healthy boys after a healthy first boy...said she rented the fetal doppler just to check the heartbeat at home. She said it really eased her mind. So being nervous is normal but the baby is happy and healthy and growing even while you are driving yourself nuts :)

So relax and enjoy the pregnancy.

Answer 3

If you already have one healthy child, it isn't necessarily going to be the case that you will continue to have miscarriages. Most of the time, miscarriages are caused by defects in the embryo. It is natures way of not carrying on with a defective pregnancy. I would talk to a doctor about it. It could be more. These questions are truly best answered by a medical professional. Good luck!

Answer 4

Having a miscarriage doesn't always put you at a higher risk for another one. Every pregnancy is different. Sometimes miscarriages are because there would have been something wrong with the baby. Other times it may be something wrong with your hormones at the time of the pregnancy.

Answer 5

It all depends on how your body handles being pregnant. I had a miscarriage with my second pregnancy, and had a health daughter after that and now 21 weeks with my 3rd child. But on the other hand,my great aunt hand 6 miscarriages back to back, her body couldn't tolerate pregnancy, so she finally gave up. Talk to your obgyn about this.

Answer 6

I had two in row. One at 8 weeks and the second at 16 weeks. Just pray for a normal healthy preganancy and hopefully all will go well for you. By the way the doctor had no explination why this happened to me they just don't know why this happens sometimes.

Answer 8

Most miscarraiges are due to cellular problems with the fetus, the only way to really know anything is to do regular checkups and take any prenatal care needed.

Answer 9

Yes and No you would have to talk that over with your doctor.

Not necessary likely, but possible. I wouldn't worry too much about it. :)
