Has anyone, with multiple children, NOT had a miscarriage?

[Pleasegetmeacoffeesotired]

I'm aware this may be an insensitive question so I'm sorry if this offends anyone. It's absolutely not my intention. I'm just extremely anxious right now and looking for some reassurance.

I'm very early on in my second pregnancy, my first dd was conceived in one "try", and so was this pregnancy. I think the main source of my anxiety is the thought that how could I possibly be so lucky to get pregnant so easily and then be so lucky to have two healthy babies just like that?

I'm very aware of how common miscarriage is, especially with October being Pregnancy and Infant loss awareness month, so I've seen a lot about it on social media recently. That's probably compounding my anxiety too.

I feel like it's "my turn" to have a loss, since my first pregnancy was successful. I know that sounds crazy.

Again, I'm very sorry, if I've offended anyone.

3 pregnancies, no miscarriages. I know I’m lucky.

4 pregnancies, no miscarriages. I have half a womb and one ovary. I have been very lucky.

I’ve been very lucky and had three successful pregnancies and no miscarriages or none I have been aware of as I believe occasionally very very early ones can occur and not be noticed but I am not an expert by any means. I would recommend considering how to reduce your anxiety. Perhaps take a look at MIND UK to seek some advice? Good luck 😊

2 pregnancies easily conceived, 2 babies. In that area of life we were very fortunate.

Me - three pregnancies, three babies, all conceived easily, no miscarriages. I do realise I'm lucky.

I know what you mean. Lots of my friends experienced a miscarriage, my mum had one between my older brother and me.

I got pregnant really easily twice and had 2 babies. They’re now 26 and 23 and I’m aware how lucky I was.

I know miscarriages are quite common and can happen for no apparent reason or some sort of reason. I really hope you’re as lucky as I have her and that baby number 2 is here before you know it.

3 pregnancies, 4 dc, last one twins and no miscarriages. I’m sure I read somewhere thst some people are genetically suited. I had tried with a previous partner and nothing but we both went on to have dc with others with no issue.

2 children both conceived quickly with no miscarriages..thank my lucky stars All the time.

3 pregnancies conceived easily first or second month, all 3 healthy babies. My sister was not so fortunate, so I'm aware of how lucky I am.

4 pregnancies and 4 healthy dc. I'm very grateful 🙂

Around 25% of women who’ve been pregnant will have a miscarriage in their lifetime, which means 75% of women won’t. Miscarriage isn’t uncommon, but there are more women who’ve not had one and only had successful pregnancies than women who have them. No one can say what will happen in your pregnancy but statistics are on your side and it’s more likely your pregnancy will lead to a healthy birth than any other outcome.

No miscarriages for me. 2 DCs. I worried constantly about miscarriages though because DM had 5.

5 pregnancies - 1 a termination as very young and unplanned, then 4 children 3 of which were home births. No MC. I have been very lucky.

Hmm, well stats vary, but many sources indicate a max MC rate of 20%. If 20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, then that's 1 in 5. If you have 5 pregnancies, statistically one will be a miscarriage. If you have 2 pregnancies you have a 40% chance that you will have a miscarriage. So if everyone had 2 pregnancies, each women is more likely (60%) to have 2 successful pregnancies than to have a miscarriage (40%).

Tbh statistics are not my forte but it makes sense to me 😆 If I'm right, you are actually in the majority OP. And many sources indicate that the MC rate is lower than that, so the odds may be even more in your favour.

Three pregnancies, all planned, no miscarriages. DH had the snip after the third, so no risk following that.

Thank you, everyone. This is really reassuring to hear.

I did think the 25% statistic was the chance of miscarriage for each individual pregnancy so that is interesting too.

3 pregnancies, last one twins, no miscarriages, conceived very quickly each time and with the twins was a big surprise. This was aged 30-35 so also in the older category. Some people unfortunately have a lot of problems with conception and pregnancy, others don’t, there’s no need to feel that you will as it could very likely never happen to you.

Same.

I think your statistics are off, for each pregnancy it’s an 80% success rate. I believe that women who suffered more than one miscarriage are statistically more likely to suffer another so having had a successful pregnancy and no miscarriages, OP would actually be more likely to hsve a successful pregnancy so over 80% success rate on subsequent pregnancies,

It depends quite a lot on how old you are.

Don’t get bogged down in statistics. There is no such thing as your time to be unlucky. That’s your anxiety, don’t listen to it.

For me first pregnancy missed miscarriage. Second pregnancy ectopic pregnancy. Third pregnancy live birth. Four pregnancy secondary infertility and needed clomid to conceive. Yes it was a heartbreaking time but that didn’t stop me trying . I got to have two children in the end

2 children, both easily conceived and no miscarriages

I'm 22.

My mum, 4 babies, no miscarriage. It's not that uncommon.
