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.

@doadeer I was in my early 30's with all my MC.

33goingon64 · 13/11/2020 20:32

3 pregnancies, 2 babies born. MC was between them, happened at 10 weeks.

@doadeer

Does anyone mind answering how old they were when they miscaried?
38,39,40 and then. TFMR at 42.

@doadeer I was 21 and it was after my 3rd child .

Slat3 · 13/11/2020 20:43

3 pregnancies, 3 babies (currently 22 weeks pregnant so hopefully I won’t have a loss now anyway).
I’m aware I’m very lucky to fall pregnant so quickly & not have had a miscarriage. I’m an only child due to my mother’s miscarriages after me so it’s always been something in my mind from a very early age.

MrsM36 · 13/11/2020 20:45

3 pregnancies and 3 beautiful daughters. I count my lucky stars every single day.

OrangeBlossomsinthesun · 13/11/2020 20:46

2 pregnancies 2 children. Almost everyone else I know of my age with kids has had at least one miscarriage or has struggled to get pregnant.

Clevs · 13/11/2020 20:48

2 miscarriages then 1 successful pregnancy.

Sunbird24 · 13/11/2020 20:54

FixTheBone · 13/11/2020 21:03

We've had 9 and 7.

5 healthy girls and 2 healthy boys

A little girl at 24 weeks
A little boy at 13...

I once read that most pregnancies end in miscarriage however many occur within days of conception and are never even known about.

Annamaywong25 · 13/11/2020 21:04

My ages not theirs!

Jadem83 · 14/11/2020 00:59

@doadeer I was 36 when I miscarried my twins although I fortunate ( if that the right term ?) to get an answer as to why . It was a very rare And high risk twin pregnancy in which the egg split at the last minute meaning the babies shared both a single sac and placenta and the placenta failed . Im extremely blessed to have had 4 healthy children beforehand from 4 problem free pregnancy’s and was assured the chances of the same happening again are almost nil as this type of pregnancy is so rare . I do of course wonder if age played a part as a I was much younger when I had my children but I guess I will never really have an answer to that

calimommy · 14/11/2020 02:13

7 pregnancies, 3 children, 1 gestating. My success rate was 1:2 before this pregnancy (not 1:4 as is always advertised as the normal for miscarriage) but now I'm 20 weeks with this one I think I've broken that average...🤞

calimommy · 14/11/2020 02:14
