They say 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. Most women go on to have a normal pregnancy after miscarriage. Sadly a few suffer reoccurring miscarriages. Doctors don't usually investigate the reason for miscarriage until you have suffered 3. I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks, my next pregnancy I conceived twins naturally and they are now 3 years old. I suffered another miscarriage last year at 9 weeks. Try not to worry about miscarriage. Focus on the positive. I know its difficult when you have already had one. I'm sure everything will be fine. Most of the time miscarriage is natures way of telling us there was something wrong with the baby.

I just read recently that maintaining a pregnancy after a miscarriage is 95%. Thats good news but the only downside is that unless you have a reason for the miscarriage you will not know if it poses an ongoing medical problem and since they only start testing you after 3 concurrent miscarriages (which I think is really unfair) then you are not likely to know whether your last miscarriage was a force of nature or an underlying problem. Maybe ask your Doctor for an overhaul of blood tests looking for obvious things like Thyroid disease (cause if you dont produce enough Thyroxine this can cause miscarriage) that is one of many tests your GP could do. Goodluck

When i miscarried i read a great book, i cant rememnber the name but its a lady who works in a special miscarriage clinic in london, she said that as long as the miscarriage was not because of some serious problem (which is not investiagted till you loose 3 pregnancys) Then the chance of a miscarriage the 2nd time is about 10 percent , the the chance of a 3rd is 5 percent. The say that almost every women miscarriages at least once in her life although many do so before they even no they are expecting.
I hope this brings a little confort. It did to me. If you want the name of the book please email me and i will forward it to you, it really was a great read.

Once you know you are pregnant, the rate of miscarriage drops to about 25%, by 12 weeks and a detectable heartbeat, the rate drops down to under 5%. One miscarriage does not increase your risk for another miscarriage. It's only after 2 or more, that the chances go up. In fact, my OB told me that statistically, the pregnancy following a miscarriage has an even lower chance of miscarriage because back-to-back miscarriages in women who had blighted ovums (baby never developed.... one of most common cause of miscarriage) is extremely unlikely. If you know your miscarriage was caused by something like a blighted ovum, not a hormonal imbalance or an abnormal uterus, your changes for a good pregnancy are high. Good luck! Also, ask for an early ultrasound to see the heartbeat! It really helped me feel better about the pregnancy.

I was told after i miscarried my first pregnancy that the chances of having another are the same as someone who has never had a miscarriage before. It's only after the 2nd miscarriage that the odds are higher.
I had a miscarriage in Sept 06 and whilst i look forward to getting pregnant in the future i am anxious that it will happen again. Although the odds say one thing, my heart tells me another and its only natural for one to stress about being pregnanct again after going through a miscarriage.
Good Luck x

If you've only had one miscarriage in the past, then your chances for another miscarriage are no higher than the average woman's. It is said that as many as 20% of all known pregnancies will end in miscarriage and 1 in 4 women will experience a known miscarriage in their reproductive years.
If you have more than one miscarriage, then your chances for another increase slightly - but your chances of another miscarriage increase with every miscarriage you have, unfortunately.
I miscarried my first pregnancy at 20 weeks. I am currently 29 weeks pregnant again, and so far, things are going well. Don't worry about your next pregnancy. Worrying won't accomplish anything, and you're more than likely able to bring a healthy child into this world.
Good luck!

The high risk groups for miscarriage are age, (being outside the 20 - 35 bracket) Family history of miscarriage, and smokers. There will always be a slightly higher risk if you have previously miscarried. If you are in a high risk group and can change (giving up smoking for example) you can reduce the risk of it happening again.
Talk to your Doctor who will tell you what things you can do in your particular case!
Try not to worry too much about it either if trying to get pregnant again or if you already are. I know its hard not to worry but it wont help you in any way and could even stop you getting pregnant again. Good luck.

I think your chances of miscarrying again are slightly increased after a previous miscarriage. But I think more often than not people go on to have healthy pregnancies and children. I had a miscarriage then a year later i got pregnant again and gave birth to a healthy baby girl. It depends on what the cause of miscarriage was I suppose. Speak to your midwife or Doctor

Statistically you are less likely to have 2 miscarriages in a row than to have 1 miscarriage. However, it depends on the reason you miscarried. If there is a definite medical reason why you are miscarrying, then the chances are higher than normal. But most miscarriages just happen and are not for any reason.

its like the last person said 50/50. i had 4mc personally and after the first one everyone said ohh ohh thats normal and then i got pregnant again and my hopes were high but not for long. I went through that 4 times this last time i honestly gave up on carry myself and well now im 6mths preg due on april 24th. I believe its all up to the big man upstairs but try not to stress it is very hard but i believe that makes it harder. also dont really stop doing anything you did before unless you positivly know if will cause you to mc. good luck sweetie and i will keep you in my prayers.
