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.
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!!)
I've had 9 pregnancies and 4 losses. My sister has 4 bubs, no losses, my other sister has 2 bubs with one on the way. My mum had 6 pregnancies with 1 loss.
I've had 2 children and 5 mc. (3 of them chems so super early.)
4 of those have been when I've been 40 though so that probably makes the statistics worse. (Although I think my stats must still be worse than 'average'.)
I was reading an article recently that said that recurrent mc might sometimes actually be due to being "super-fertile" i.e the uterus is too welcoming to any old egg, whereas normally it is more selective so less of the defunct ones get through... or something like that. (Although it's been over a year now and I'm still no closer to having that baby, so I don't really *feel* super fertile right now!!! )
I don't know if that answers your question though, I think you were asking for positive stories!!
Well, Ianto was stillborn, so no known *miscarriages*...
My mum's got three live children from 7/8 pregnancies Me, my brother, very early miscarriage, another brother, miscarriage around 12ish weeks, miscarriage around eight weeks, and the rest I didn't know about until a few years later so I have no idea on dates. Apparently she was pregnant at the very beginnings of both my pregnancies too
The reason why 'in the olden days' women didn't have as many miscarriages is that they didn't have super-sensitive pregnancy tests like we do now.
So many women don't realise they miscarriage. I'm pregnant with my second hold and have had 7 miscarriages. None of those seven survived to 6 weeks. I was a crazy testing addict and would get a positive before my period was due and then my period would arrive right on schedule or within a few days. They're called chemical pregnancies. When you see that positive and then it's negative a week later the heartbreak is excruciating because you want your baby so much.
I know, for me, I wouldn't have known about 6 of my miscarriages if I hadn't tested regularly and early.
