How many pregnancies, how many babies? (TW)

Not starting this thread to scare or upset anyone, so please don't read any further if talking about miscarriage might upset or worry you! Only asking because I've seen a couple of high profile people talk about their MCs recently and it's highlighted to me how common they are and that people just don't talk about them so they feel rare. I sort of knew this in theory, but it's really hit home. It seems there are very few (lucky) people who have had several healthy babies and no losses.

So, if you're comfortably answering, how many pregnancies have you had and how did they end?

I count myself as having had 1 pregnancy which thankfully gave me my little boy. I also had an unplanned CP but it was such an early loss (my period started just 3 days late after 1 faint line) and I was so emotionally unattached that I really didn't feel like I'd had a MC at all, so I don't really count it.

4 pregnancies

2 MMC at 11 weeks
1 miscarriage around 6 weeks
Currently 35 weeks pregnant and - fingers crossed - everything going okay.

4 successful pregnancies
2 early losses
1 currently 10wks but could obviously go either way.

2 live children.

It’s been difficult.

3 pregnancies, 2 children, 1 still cooking at 32 weeks. Been very lucky, although did have a few bleeding scares in all 3 pregnancies.

mynameiscalypso · 13/11/2020 10:16

1 and 1 (and no more). I've also had an unsuccessful IVF cycle before that though.

3 pregnancies, 2 children. One early MC at 5 weeks which similar to you OP I was quite pragmatic about as it was so early. I've been very lucky.

5 pregnancies:
First - missed miscarriage at 11 weeks
Second - missed miscarriage at 7 weeks
Third - healthy baby
Fourth - miscarriage at 9 weeks
Fifth - healthy baby

It's been a rollercoaster emotionally but I'm so grateful for my two healthy babies.

TinyTear · 13/11/2020 10:44

7 pregnancies
2 babies

Persipan · 13/11/2020 10:44

Three pregnancies, resulting in two miscarriages and one baby.

(Prior to the successful pregnancy I also had three unsuccessful IVF embryo transfers, totalling five embryos - legally you're considered pregnant in the time after embryo transfer although I never really thought of it as being pregnant.)

Meomeomeo · 13/11/2020 10:48

Currently pregnant with my first but I have had 2 MC this year. Growing up I don’t think I realised how hard it is to have a healthy baby. You only really hear about people having babies and mostly healthy. Not many people talk about their journeys/ the difficulty to get pregnant or the heartache with MC. It’s more common now to hear about MC but I know there must be plenty of women out there who are not comfortable to share/don’t think they can talk about it.

Amrythings · 13/11/2020 10:51

Three pregnancies
One miscarriage at about six weeks, one now 16 month old, and one that's currently about five weeks so no expectations just yet.

VioletSunset · 13/11/2020 10:53

4 pregnancies
4 healthy babies

I'm very grateful.

bumblingalonghappily · 13/11/2020 10:54

Two pregnancies.

One healthy baby and am currently 20 weeks into second pregnancy- everything looking healthy so far.

Feel incredibly grateful.
