Thanks :) me too. I have had two succesfull pregnancies and two m/c one really early and one blighted ovum. Which the Dr. explained was basically an empty sac, the baby stopped developing at about 6 weeks and re absorbed into the body leaving an empty sack that I passed at about 9 weeks :(

I don't think having had a m/c increases your chances of having another one.  In fact, I've read that after having a m/c, most women go on to have a normal and healthy pregnancy.  I undersatnd about being scared tho.  I hope you have a healthy and happy 9 months.
