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.

1 pregnancy, 1 baby. However, I was fairly far along before realising I was pregnant and had a post-conception period, so it is entirely possible that I may have had previous chemical pregnancies or miscarriages.

Flowers to everyone who has had difficulties.

3 pregnancies, 2 beautiful boys.
The miscarriage was trying for n 3. I am so grateful for what I have, but I would not wish the experience I had (mmc at 12 weeks, complications, haemorrhaging, emergency op) on my worst enemy.

@ImEatingVeryHealthilyOhYes

I totally agree. I was 14 weeks pregnant on my wedding day and I realise now how naive i was. I missed carried my second pregnancy at 13 weeks. Could so easily have happened with the first and my wedding would have been just so hard and awful. I had no idea of the pain and emptiness until I went though it.

This thread has been a real eye opener for me.

1 pregnancy and baby for me.

It was unplanned but wonderful.

doadeer · 13/11/2020 20:15

Does anyone mind answering how old they were when they miscaried?

badg3r · 13/11/2020 20:18

Three pregnancies and three healthy babies, I was lucky. I know a few people of my parents' generation who have had miscarriages but of my friendship groups nobody has talked openly about having had a miscarriage, though some have shared how they have struggled to conceive.
