Dr. Dennis Higginbotham answered

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

No increase: If this was your first miscarriage, your risk is no higher with the next pregnancy than it was for this one. If you miscarry twice, the risk is about 33% that the third pregnancy will alsi miscarry. After three miscarriages, the risk ia about 50%, then about 70% after the fourth miscarriage. Good luck.
