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.

Reading these just shows how common it is, although possibly a biased sample who click on the thread.

Pregnancy 1 mc at 5 weeks
Pregnancy 2 mc at 5 weeks
Pregnancy 3 = ds1 (on meds)
Pregnancy 4 MMC at 10 weeks
Pregnancy 5 = ds2

Eternally grateful we live in an age i had access to meds for recurrent miscarriage otherwise may never have had children.

Flowers for everyone affected. I think the impact of previous miscarriages on subsequent pregnancies should be acknowledged more by midwives/ staff etc as it totally coloured my later pregnacies.
