It is possible to have very few symptoms and still have a healthy pregnancy, but after having had miscarriages, it's understandable to be nervous about lack of symptoms.
There were many infertility treatments, two miscarriages and a tubal pregnancy, before they gave up - believing they would never have a child together.
I was never categorized as having a high risk pregnancy because according to the doctors office you have to have three miscarriages for there to be some concern.

Nevertheless, it is important for patients anticipating pregnancy (or those with multiple prior miscarriages) to have screening blood tests and that their pregnancies require supervision by obstetricians experienced in handling patients with autoimmune diseases.
When pregnancy outcomes were analyzed the scientists reported no more birth defects, miscarriages, or other complications in the echinacea group then in the control group.

The miscarriage rate is equivalent to that seen in pregnancies with superovulation without Assisted Reproduction, but is slightly higher than natural cycle pregnancies.
Miscarriage is common; it is estimated that 20-25% of all pregnancies end with the loss of the baby, mostly through miscarriage.
The risk of miscarriage in later pregnancies is higher if a woman has had two or more abortions.

Patients who lose pregnancies through miscarriage sometimes have a false positive test for syphilis because they have antibodies to cardiolipin that were manufactured when the pregnancy miscarried.

The denominator is supposed to represent known pregnancies, but a restricted alternative was adopted which excluded miscarriages (because of lack of data) and late foetal deaths.
Interrupted pregnancies (miscarriages and abortions) do not afford protection, and research is accumulating that indicates they can actually increase the risk of breast cancer.
