Stillborn: More than likely you can have a normal birth, but a lot would depend on why you lost your first child.

Depends on variables: Given a basic rate of 1/2 to 1% for any pregnancy, recurrence risk can vary. If related to a chromosome defect or genetic issue, that issue determines the rate.The rate for all causes is slightly higher for recurrence.Issues like maternal hypertension, diabetes, and other chronic illness add to the risk.
