I have had 2 miscarriages in a row in the last 2 years. Ran tests and couldn't find the causes. 9 weeks pregnant again, appointment with OBGYN tomorrow. Should I be seeing a high risk doctor instead Does 2 miscarriages count as high risk? So nervous. BTW: I have a 4 yr old db and I'm 39. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

yeah, that's nervewracking, but i don't think that's high risk. when did your earlier mc happen? early on? anyway, ask doctor. [ Reply | More

please please don't take this the wrong way, but m/cs are very common, and even more common w/ higher maternal age - so don't assume the worst or assume there's a major problem. I just had #2 at 44 (had 2 m/c between the ages of 39 and 43) and have 2 dds. NO high risk whatsoever. GL to you - talk to your ob more in-depth about it if it makes you feel better. [ Reply | More

OP: The miscarriages were at 9 weeks and 12 weeks. There was just no heartbeat when they did the sonogram. Heartbreaking. I called a high risk dr. and faxed my records and she said I wasn't high risk. I will talk to my OB tomorrow. Thanks. I feel exhausted nd nauseus, which is a good sign! [ Reply | More

As I understand it, high risk is only if your miscarriages were NOT chromosomal. Yours sound like classic chromosomal - what they call a "blighted ovum." It's a gross and outdated term that means that the zygote wasn't going to turn into a fetus because there was something chromosomally wrong. It sounds like you had crappy luck. Same thing happened to me and I got baby #2 right afterwards. Good luck. :) [ Reply | More

I was in similar situation...2 dcs, then 2 mcs at 37 and 38 then pg at 39 and I wasn't considered high risk. My mcs were early (around 8 wks). OB just said it was just 'bad luck' that I had 2 in a row, since I had had healthy term babies before [ Reply | More
