Has anyone actually beaten the odds?

[~clover~]

I've had 4 babies & not had a loss. My MIL had 6, no losses.
I also have a friend who's had 6 with no losses.

I can't imagine how hard that is to go through.

oh wow! you are all very lucky

[Phteven]

2 boys. No losses.

I had two losses before both my girls. I am pregnant with my 5th but as long as things keep going great it will be 3 for me. Not sure if it is the same as what your after but that is how it is for me.

My MIL did go on to lose 2 babies post birth though.

My first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. Since then I have had three healthy babies.

My Ob told me that the "1 in 3" statistic is a theoretical number. It includes pregnancies that miscarry when the mother doesn't even realise she was even pregnant. For example, if a mother was very early pregnant and miscarried at the same time she was due to have her period she would probably never know she had ever been pregnant. I think he said that of known pregnancies the miscarriage rate was about 1 in 5. So if you already know you are pregnant, your chance of miscarriage has already lowered

I'm also very, very fortunate to have had three pregnancies and no losses.

Three pg's no losses. I know I am lucky, many of my friends have suffered miscarriages.

[Liviam]

I am extremely blessed and have had 3 pregnancies resulting in my 3 beautiful kids

I am so thankful not having any losses

[Tinks]

I have never had a miscarriage.

I was under the impression, according to my fertility specialist, that the 'normal' miscarriage rate is 1 in 6. Ive had 7 losses, 3 live births and currently pregnant (11 pregnancies all up). After my 5th miscarriage my specialist said my personal rate was 1 in 2. Probably near impossible after the last 2 miscarriages but here I am!

3 babies followed by a miscarriage for me

[Three Graces]

3 babies, no known losses. I'm not sure if I was pregnant a month before our last baby/pregnancy as I had the symptoms for a few days and then nothing (?) Never showed up on a home test, but then again our third pregnancy took ages to show positive.

I did have bleeding with all 3 around 6-8 weeks and thought I'd lost each of them. Did the ultrasounds etc. Never worked out why that was.

I'm right with 'average' at the moment. I had one loss, then DD and am now over half way with this one.
