Help! What are my chances of having another Miscarriage?

Question

Hi there, in November, I suffered a miscarriage, i was 6 weeks into the pregnancy at age 31. This happened to be a 2nd miscarriage, first occured when i was 16. I have had a son in between at the age of 22. I have just found out i am pregnant again...took 3 tests to make sure as i took the tests 6 days b4 period. all tests have come out positive. My LMP was on the 10th December, that was the only period i saw after my miscarriage( was advised to wait 1 month b4 trying again). However I am now so anxious and extremely worried about miscarrying again. Could any1 share similar experiences or know what my chances are of miscarrying again. Thanks so much!

i had 2 MC's within 5 months of eachother and had tons of testing done after the 2nd.  all tests came back normal.  within 4 months from that, i got pregnant again and here i am 33 weeks along today with a healthy boy.  so try to relax, take your vitamins and if you want to ease your mind, ask your doctor to run 2 hcg tests to make sure your levesl are rising:)

Congrats,.

According to the American Pregnancy Association:

What are the chances of having another miscarriage?

Many couples who experience a miscarriage worry that it will happen again. Fortunately, at least 85% of women who have had one loss will go on to have a successful pregnancy the next time, as will 75% of those who have experienced two or three losses. 

Good luck!
