I had a m/c last month and became pregnant all of the sudden, too!  We weren't even trying, in fact we were using bc because my body is under a lot of stress from pain and I take a lot of meds that I would rather not take while pregnant. Even the nurse at the doctor's office looked at me and said "how did this happen?".  
So I am accepting it and hoping for the best.  I hope everything works out for you as well.

The average women will experience 1-2 miscarriages during her reproductive lifetime.  They do not always occur in succession.  Having had one miscarriage I don't think will raise your risk of having another one this time around.  This is why docs wont' even usually consider doing genetic testing and blood work until a woman has suffered 3 or more subsequent miscarriages.  I myself have been pregnant 8 times.  I have 4 beautiful kids, I've had 2 miscarriages and a stillbirth (cord related, NOT common).  I had a normal pregnancy, miscarriage, full term normal pregnancy resulting in still birth, two more normal pregnancies, miscarriage, normal pregnancy and I am 19 weeks pregnant now.

no just cause you had a m/c with your last pregnancy dont mean that your going to with this one..

i recently had a m/c and a D&C and i asked my obgyn the same question and he said that it dont matter your chances are slim
but if you do miscarry then they will test you and your husband to see if something is wrong with his sperm.

hey how did you get preg so fast?? today marks 4 weeks since my D&C and me and my fiance have been trying a weeks after my D&C..
and we want a baby

First, I am sorry for your loss.  I had a miscarriage last year, and when I became pregnant again five months later I asked my OB the same thing.  He said that up to 25% of all pregnancy end in miscarriage and that the in his experience most women who have been pregnant multiple times will experience at least one miscarriage.  It is one of those things that sometimes just happens.  That being said, every pregnancy is it's own experience and that the risk of miscarriage is the same as with any other pregnancy.  The risk does increase if a women has suffered multiple miscarriages, but only about 1%  of women will suffer recurrent miscarriages which is considered by the medical community to be three or more.  Even then many women do go on to have successful pregnancies.

I know it is hard after a miscarriage, especially so soon after.  I have been entirely paranoid through this pregnancy.  I am now at 34 weeks and I am still checking for blood every time I wipe and getting out the little doppler monitor to check his heart beat if I haven't felt him move in awhile.  The feelings of what if and the fear of going through that pain again are very normal.  What I have tried to do is recognize it for what it is and look at all the positives.  I have a slideshow on my phone of all his ultra sound photos that I look at when I start feeling fearful and concentrate on how far we've come.  Before you know it time will fly by and you will have your little one to hold and cuddle.  Best of luck and super sticky baby dust to you.
