Statistically your chances are now lower that you will miscarry. I read a great book after my miscarriage (2 weeks ago) and she said that the chance of a 2nd miscarraige are about 10% and a 3rd 5%.
She also said that almost all women will have at lease 1 miscarriage. Most are before she even no's she is pregnant , some are before 12 weeks and 1% are after 12 weeks. Also your chance of miscarriages are 1 in 6 babies.
Inless thier is some problem with you (which they wont investigate intill you have had 3 miscarriages)then your chances are good. Although this dont help it is commen to miscarry your first baby then go on to be fine. The hardest thing for me is that cause it was my first i have no idea if i can carry to term.
I cant remember the name of the back but i will happily let you no it if you like. Just email me.
Hope this was helpful, all the best

Well, I just went through a miscarriage and this is what I was told and I confirmed it on line. After the first miscarriage your chances of having another one go down dramatically. But with each one after the first one then it increases little by little. It is perfectly normal for most women to miscarry at least once and many of them don't even know they have done it. And it is usually due to a genetic defect with the baby.

Not necessarily. It all depends on if you were able to find out why you miscarried in the first place. If you had a blighted ovum or chemical pregnancy, then your chances of it happening again are not any higher than anyone who has never had a miscarriage before. If it was due to any sort of hormonal deficiency or genetic chromosomal disorder then your chances of it recurring would be higher. Hormonal disorders can most likely be treated prior to conceiving again, and would therefore lower your risk again :)

I completely understand your concerns. I lost my son, when I was 15weeks along, in March 2006. I am pregnant again and 19weeks along(due June 11 2007). I have been a nervous wreck, even though I have passed the date of a year ago. I have felt the first kicks, and that helped. My advice is to talk about your worries to your doc, and trusted family and friends. So that you can relax. A 2nd miscarriage is very unlikely, because this is a differant pregnancy.

Know that you're not alone. If you don't know what caused you to lose your last baby, recognize that many miscarriages and stillbirths don't have explanations. Remember that having had one miscarriage doesn't make you any more likely to have another one. Almost half of women, experience a pregnancy loss at some point in their lives.Try to focus on how well you and the baby are doing now instead of worrying about things going wrong, because the chances are good that everything will be fine.

Not necessarily because you already did, but you may be prone to miscarry.. you need to be very careful and go to your doctor a lot more than is normally required to make sure everything is ok. Don't do anything too strenuous and follow what your doctor tells you. It is possible to have a completely normal pregnancy after many miscarriages. It just depends on WHY you miscarried before.

No. I've had 3 babies and almost miscarried on one but good thing after I bled alot, my cervix was still closed so I didn't miscarry. Just take good care of yourself. Before getting pregnant again, it would be advisable to take multivitamins, not smoke and drink. Get lots of rest. On your first trimester, try to stay at home and be careful. Avoid bumpy rides. Take prenatal vitamins prescribed by your doctor and do see a doctor right away and make sure you go to your appointments all the time. Goodluck!

I doubt that you have a higher chance of miscarrying. I had a miscarriage (my first baby), then went on to have 2 perfect, healthy babies. Good luck.

No, I had a miscarriage 3 months ago after having 2 girls. I had the same concern because I do want to have more children. My dr told me that I am fine to have more children-it was just a way of nature taking care of itself. I also did alot of research on this because I was worried too. It'll happen again-for both of us:) Relax and stay positive!

I know its hard not 2 worry i lost my first baby 22 weeks into the pregnancy however i have gone on 2 have 4 healthy children dont get me wrong i had my fair share of probs 3 of them were very premature only 1 was full term but that has made no difference they r all as healthy as each other. So my advice is not 2 worry 2 much every pregnancy is different. Good luck. xx
