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

3 miscarriages
1 live birth

I had the 3 miscarriages before the successful pregnancy. I feel really grateful and lucky that the fourth one was ok.

Very lucky as my problem was always getting pregnant not staying pregnant. Took me many, many years : 2 pregnancies, 3 babies.

Four pregnancies in total but only two babies born.
Have a 4 year old DS, two losses in between and then a 15 month old DS. It was horrid and I’m very open about it, I didn’t realise it was so common until it happened to me. Wouldn’t wish it on anybody.

Bathwater · 13/11/2020 14:13

4 pregnancies

2 early miscarriages (8 weeks)
1 MMC (11 weeks)
1 - Currently 33 weeks - no bleeding or issues with baby as far as midwives/ medical concerned.

I get pregnant easily (within 1/2 cycles when trying) no known reason found for any of my miscarriages. All pregnancies consecutive, 2nd one broke me emotionally most (body seemed to not recognise loss so needed medication and was the MMC).
No miscarriages known on immediate maternal or paternal side.

2 pregnancies, 2 children. Would like a third child but threads like this make me doubt whether we should roll the dice again...

DramaAlpaca · 13/11/2020 16:07

Three pregnancies.

Three healthy babies.

I'm aware that I've been very lucky.
