Has anyone actually beaten the odds?

So, apparently the miscarriage rate is 1 in every 3 pregnancies (insane!) and could actually be higher given some women don't know they're pregnant.

I'm currently pregnant for the 6th time and have had 2 miscarriages, on par with the average - all going well this time.

Has anyone actually been lucky enough to have had 3 kids without a loss?

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

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.

2 bubs and 2 losses before each preg, so I'm out...

**MrsFabuloso** · October 13th, 2012, 08:26 PM

I had 2 losses, then three healthy pregnancies/babies.

I honestly didn't realise the rate was so high... doesn't make me feel any better about the pain they've caused.. but being statistically 'normal' makes me not feel so alone!

My mum had six, no miscarriages.

**leesha** · October 13th, 2012, 08:33 PM

I have had three bubs and never a miscarriage..

**megs** · October 13th, 2012, 08:35 PM

I had one miscarriage and then 4 babies. (Although with 2 of those I had threatened miscarriages).

I started a similar thread last year How many times have you been pregnant I have had 3 pregnancies, one of them a twin pregnancy and 1 living child

**mumto4+1** · October 13th, 2012, 08:50 PM

omg blessedatlast, that photo of your boys has be bawling!!

2 losses, so far, I'm currently 11 weeks. Sorry to sound negative, but at this point in time I'm petrified of losing this one, as the previous 2 did not develop. This one we have a strong heartbeat, but I've also had some bleeding.
Just taking a day at a time.
It's funny (not really) but its seems years ago there wasn't as many losses as there is now.
My grandma had 8 kids no losses. She was telling in her day the Dr's kept stressing eating a healthy diet and pressure free life was the key. All her friends had 5+ kids with no losses.

Unfortunately its a horrible feeling after having losses, knowing you aren't going to have the blissful, naive pregnancy that some do.

Yep I've got 3 healthy kids and 0 losses hope all goes well for you

Have had 1 miscarriage, no baby as of yet for me, still TTC.
My mum had 5 children and 1 miscarriage, my grandma had 7 children and apparently miscarried twins before the other 7 where born (of which 2 more sets of twins!!)
