Answer from:
So miscarriage is relatively common in pregnancy and we would normally say that about 10 to 12 % of pregnancies could end in a miscarriage and the risk of miscarriage normally increased with having previous miscarriages. So the chances of having first miscarriage is about 1 in 10 so about 10 to 12% and the risk of having a second miscarriage after the previous miscarriage, doesn’t increase significantly. However after having had two miscarriages, the risk of having a third miscarriage increased to about 20% and the risk of having a fourth miscarriage (so after three previous miscarriages) could increase up to 50% and that is why after three consecutive miscarriages, there is a consensus to start some investigations because the risk of miscarriage increases.

Unfortunately miscarriage is really very common and approximately one in four pregnancies ends in a miscarriage. It’s unfortunately also quite age-related. So, the chance of you having a miscarriage in your early 20s is really quite different to you have chance of having a miscarriage in your 40s. Will it happen again? Well, we have to be honest – we know that women who’ve had a miscarriage before are a little bit more likely to have a miscarriage than someone who’s never had one. On the other hand, most women who have miscarriage, the next time they get pregnant, it’s a healthy and successful pregnancy.
