I know how you feel.  I miscarried on August 18th and am already 11 weeks
pregnant, without having a period in between.  While we were being
careful, and out doctor said to wait one full period, obviously we
were not careful enough.
My doctor told me that my chances of miscarrying this baby were no
more than any other woman.  He said that my body must have been ready
to get pregnant again, otherwise I would not be pregnant.
I am happy to say that we have had 2 ultrasounds and so far everything
looks great.  We even heard the heartbeat a couple of weeks back.  Eventhough
it will be our third child, it is still exciting.
As far as your chances on having a healthy/ normal pregnancy, based on
what my physician said you are no more at risk of having a miscarriage
than any other woman.
Good luck and keep us posted.
