Hello moms, I was wondering out of you woman who have had or even who have known someone who has had a miscarriage, does the number of miscarriage you have had indirectly or directly impacted how many children you want or have tried for or have. I have had two miscarriages and two healthy babies. And I am confident we are done at the two healthy beautiful souls we have. Coincidently the same number of miscarriages I had?!? What do you think?!?

What can I do next?

Not necessarily. My sister has two children and 5 miscarriages. I think the more miscarriages you have, the more you are happy with a small amount of children. She couldn't handle having another miscarriage, so they stuck with two.

I've had an ectopic and 2 miscarriages and 2 live births (my sweet little girls). We want to try for one more soon, so yep, me too. Lost three, want three.

I don't really think there is a correlation. I've had three live births and one miscarriage. But, we're probably going to try to have more children, so who knows.

I have 2 beautiful children, 3 miscarriages and I am currently pregnant again. Still early and still scared, nervous and hopeful. My husband wanted to stop because he didn't want me going through the stress again if we had another miscarriage, but sometimes things happen and surprise we are pregnant, so hopefully my miscarriages will also equal the number of babies I have : )

I had 4 miscarriages and one child. Would have liked one other child but DEFINITELY not 3 more. The impact here was that I was much older when my son was FINALLY born.

Yes. I had a healthy pregnancy, a miscarraige and then a healthy pregnancy. All surprises. I stopped after the second healthy preg. because I couldn't take the stress of worry and wonder that comes with the possibility of miscarriage.

I only wanted one child. I had two miscarriages first, then my daughter. The miscarriages didn't change a thing, other than what year my baby was born.
