Hi all,
I know that lots of us who are currently in Tri 1 are pregnant after miscarriage and so I thought I'd dig out a thread I posted on here when I was pregnant with Ella 18 months ago.
These are some statistics regarding miscarriage:
http://pregnancyloss.info/statistics/
It outlines that 15-20% of pregnancies will end in miscarriage but that of those:
approx 75% chance of miscarriage occur within 1-2 weeks of conception (before you realise you are pregnant and get a positive test)
around 10% chance of it happening during 3-6 weeks
approx 5% chance of it happening between 6-12 weeks
If you have had a mc in the past but also had a healthy baby then your risk is no higher than the above. If you've had a mc but not had a baby then the risk is only marginally more. So basically we need to consider these pregnancies separately to our history and assume we will be in the the 80-85% of pregnancies resulting in healthy babies.
Hope it helps set other people's minds at rest too. xx
