What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy After 3 Miscarriages?
Question: I'm pregnant about 10 months after my last depo shot an have had 3 miscarriages in the past what r my chances of a healthy pregnancy?
Brief Answer:
good chances
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question
It is always concerning when you have had miscarriages in the past but this happens to many patients who then have completely successful and healthy pregnancies.
To give yourself the best chance of a successful pregnancy take your prenatal vitamin daily and see your obstetrician regularly. Make sure you are drinking 6-8 glasses of clean water daily. Avoid smoking, alcohol and excess caffeine. Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and be sure you are getting enough protein in your diet. Avoid excessively sweet foods and sugary drinks. Exercise every day even if it is just walking for 30 minutes.
Many blessings to you for a happy and healthy pregnancy

Ok, what if I have herpes simplex 2 can that cause a miscarriage or been the reason for my past ones?
Brief Answer:
no, that is not the cause
Detailed Answer:
No, herpes is very common. One in five people have it and it does not cause miscarriages. The only problem it could cause is that if you have an active outbreak at the time of delivery you would need to have a C-section so that the baby does not get infected. Otherwise the herpes should not cause any problems.
Best to you.

Ok is it true that in early pregnancy as long as ur having pregnancy symptoms u haven't miscarriaged an probably wont?
Brief Answer:
usually
Detailed Answer:
It is usually true that in early pregnancy if you are having pregnancy symptoms that means that things are going well. It is not possible to say that you definitely won't miscarry, but it is unlikely. Just keep taking care of yourself and the farther along you get in your pregnancy then the safer it is that you will carry the baby to full term.
Take care,
