A member asked:

What are the odds of having a second missed miscarriage in a row? we've seen the heartbeat already in this pregnancy, but we did last time too.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: Early miscarriages are a function of abnormal genetic combinations which result in pregnancy loss prior to 12 weeks. If there is a family history of genetic issues, the odds of repeated miscarriages are higher.
