2 pregnancy, one resulting in DD.
One very early loss not very long ago.
2 pregnancies, 2 beautiful little boys.
My mum was the same, 2 pregnancies, 2 kids.
When talking about our mums, those of us in the 30's age group - I still am doubtful at how accurate the m/c figures are from those times.....there were no first response or easy methods of finding out if they were pregnant. I am a firm believer that m/c was almost as common, but most of those were early m/c and missed because the women had not had pregnancies confirmed yet. It was a matter of missing one (or even 2) periods before you went to the doctor for a blood test. So how many m/c could have been missed by 10 weeks?
Its still a miscarriage but there is a particular term for it. One of mine was miscarrying a twin in the first trimester.:
I have had 2 known pregnancies, My DD and a m/c at almost 8 weeks.
I have had 6 pregnancies.
1 - Miscarriage
2 - I carried to 24 weeks then Nikita was born alive but due to Necs died 8 days later
3 - Miscarriage
4 - DD who is 22 months old
5 - Miscarriage
6 - Pregnant with another DD and still happily baking.
so far I have a 1 in 5 pregnancies lasting to term chance ...... hoping in 3 months time that will become a 1 in 3 chance :D
Nae x

2. DS - 4yrs
3. DD - nearly 2 yrs
4. DS Hugh born sleeping at 14 weeks
:grouphug: to everyone xoxo
4 pregnancies, 0 babies
That is depressing writing it down.... oh well stats are on my side now I guess.
Four pregnancies, one child. Two of those my period wasn't even late - but the sucky thing about IVF is that you know there's an embryo put back... I get symptoms from the moment of implantation so I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was pregnant and then I wasn't. The clinic's blood tests confirmed trace amounts of HCG.
I remember the night I realised I was losing my first baby (around 9 weeks), I had latched onto that 1 in 4 statistic and was madly counting the women in my belly buddies group and counting the miscarriages and I felt that if the numbers were ok, then I'd keep my baby. Oddly enough, to keep the 1 in 4 statistic, one more baby had to be lost... mine. I'm not known for my rational thinking in times of stress and upset!

Tashybabe - :hug: Obstetric history questions must be one of the hardest questions anyone would ask you. :(
Interesting facts Glamouricide. I got the 1 in 4 m/c stats from march of dimes which is American I think.. (I'm not much of a researcher lol) That stat specifically relates to spontaneous m/c from what I gathered. I didn't read it in detail though.. Either way it's irrelavant because it's not an Australian stat..:
I think the general statistic is that for every 4 pregnancies, 3 result in live births - the reason for the pregnancy not carrying to full term doesn't really enter the equation. I've heard statistics recently claiming that 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in termination (when considering that 50% of pregnancies in Aus are unplanned, and 50% of those pregnancies will be terminated), so I suppose it all depends on where the info is coming from - it appears there's not a lot of reliable evidence because the data collection methods are flawed.
Also an interesting 'fun fact': women who require a D&C following a m/c are for the most part counted as having had an 'abortion' because Medicare uses the same code for the two procedures. Which then skews both m/c AND abortion stats as nobody knows how many of each are lumped into the one category.
Kuraiza I think that too..:
I believe it's more like 60% of pregnancies end in loss, with the vast majority being chemical pregnancies. Possibly even higher because most women don't know they're pregnant when they have a very early loss.
Again very true.. I was paranoid with this pregnancy because I found out so early.. I knew I could still well get my period.. I also know I could have had a couple of pregnancies and not been aware of them, because my cycle has always been really irregular..:
When talking about our mums, those of us in the 30's age group - I still am doubtful at how accurate the m/c figures are from those times.....there were no first response or easy methods of finding out if they were pregnant. I am a firm believer that m/c was almost as common, but most of those were early m/c and missed because the women had not had pregnancies confirmed yet. It was a matter of missing one (or even 2) periods before you went to the doctor for a blood test. So how many m/c could have been missed by 10 weeks?
Also some other good points there with IVF and 'chemical' pregnancies. Stats would be higher, simply because we know more and are finding out earlier.
Thanks again to everyone who answered honestly. I am sorry that many of you would have found this triggering. It's unfortunate that there are not many of us who haven't lost a baby.
Two pregnancies, two losses (one twin loss), one DS.
1 Pregnancy 0 Babies.
TBH, the stats still worry me. Even though I've had one pregnancy and now have my beautiful DD, I kind of feel like because of the stats I'm 'due' for a m/c. So I'll be even more nervous TTC #2 than I was with DD.
