I'm not sure what the statistics are but I had my 4th mc last April & that one was a missed mc. I'm now 32wks pg. Only thing I found was I was more panicky about symptoms disappearing as this was the only clue I had to the mc last year (did'nt realise it at the time though, just on hindsight).
Good luck & congrats!

P.s Ask your EPU for an early scan on/around the time you mc before. Really lessens the worry I found personally.

I'm no expect but if you've had one live birth and one miscarriage you're no more likely to miscarriage than anybody (although it doesn't feel that way - I still check the loo paper at 22 weeks).
I also know that if you mc it's most likely to be in your first pregnancy as your body's not as efficient. I think if you've had a mc in your first, then the statistics of having another are slightly, but only slightly, raised. I think if you've had multiple mcs or are over the age of 40 then it gets raised a lot.
The trouble is with statistics is they're all a bit meaningless if something awful happens to you. Does your EPU do early scans for wmn pg after mc? Mine did and I had one at 7 weeks which made such a difference.
Good luck
