    Nope but it took her 18 months to get pregnant with my sister. Then first month boom I was there and then my brother was an oops 9 months later too.

    No, my mom didn't but she did have fertility issues. That's why my siblings are significantly younger than me.

    My mil had a baby in NICU pass, a still born born at 35w and then went on to have 4 healthy kids!

    Yes, my mom had 2 before my sister and I.

    I remember her telling me about them when we were somewhat young. We talked about it a lot when I suffered my first m/c during my first pregnancy last year. It really helped that she could identify with the struggle but it also made it more sad, knowing what my mom had to go through as well.

    Yes and my mom only told me about it when I was asking about her pregnancy with me, when I was pregnant. She got pregnant shortly after I was born and my dad just left overseas. She was a young, tired new mom and completely not ready for another. She had a MC.

    Yes. When I got pregnant with DS, she was tentative about it because she had miscarriages before having me. I think 2, but I'm not sure of the exact number. After having me and my sister she lost a baby again to a tubal pregnancy (along with losing a fallopian tube). She was warned she might not ever get pregnant again, but went on to have two more healthy pregnancies.

    My mother had luteal phase defect so she miscarriaged several times. Documented she had 4, however the doctors think that it is possible she was miscarring every time she was late. She went to doctor as soon as she found out she was pregnant with me and was able to get on the right medicine to carry me to term and then the same with my brother.

    My mom never did (or rather, says she wouldn't know if she did), because she never went to the doctor before she was like....8-10 weeks along.

    She has 6 kids.

    My grandmother had 14, but would have had 16 (two were either still born or maybe died right after birth--I don't know the details).

    My mom had a still birth sometime after 20 weeks. It was a baby boy. I actually remember going to the hospital and waiting for her to give birth. I remember asking her how big the baby was. I was 4-5 at the time.

    My mom had a miscarriage between me and my brother. I don't think either of my grandmothers lost children.

    My mom m/c twice and was told she couldn't have more kids, then she had me. 7 year age gap between my sister and I.

    My grandmother had 1 stillborn baby boy, her 7th and last child.

    My mom miscarried before my brother was born. She actually had to leave my 6th birthday party to go to the hospital. My brother was born a year later.

    No, my mom never did. I think it's been really difficult for her to understand how hard things have been for us b/c of it. She got pregnant very easily with all three of us and had 3 very healthy pregnancies.

    Yeah. My mom had a mc a year before she conceived my older brother. I didn't find out til I had my first mc.

    I was conceived on my parents first "night out" after having my brother. I was def. an oops

    My mom had 2 miscarriages, both at 12 weeks, before they were able to have me.

    No, she never miscarried. She and my dad actually tried for years, with treatments, before they were told they would never be able to have children. She got pregnant with me about a year later.

    Yes, in between my brother and I.

    Yes, she miscarried twice, both in the second trimester. She had 4 children after those though.

    No miscarriages, but my younger brother had a vanishing twin.

    Yes, she had several miscarriages before me, and a couple between my sister and I.

    My mom didn't have any. She always got pregnant the second she tried, which is why I didn't share my infertility struggle with her. My stepmom though miscarried multiple times when I was a kid (I think 3 or 4) and went on to have one kid naturally and twins via ivf. I've never had the courage to talk to her about it as an adult so I don't have the full details.

    My mom had a M/C between me and my younger sister. She said it was a blessing in disguise, though it was hard at the time. She went on to have 3 more kids, though.

    My mom had 2 miscarriages and a stillborn baby due to RH factor. But, she ended up with 3 healthy kids!

    My mom had a miscarriage prior to being pregnant with me. I wonder if she thinks a lot about it because my parents were trying for a boy. They had 3 girls and finally decided to try again for a fourth after 8 years since they were financially able to have more. Could the baby have been a boy? We will never know. My parents have a total of 5 girls.

    Yes. It was after my brother was born. It was an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured. Very traumatic for her. She had to be rushed to the hospital and lost one of her ovaries and Fallopian tubes.
