So I know that it says that miscarriages aren't hereditary, but if both my mom and grandma had healthy pregnancies with their 4 kids, does that make it a better chance that I too will have a healthy pregnancy?  I'm already kind of falling their same symptoms as far as not having any morning sickness at all.  Just curious what all of you think.

My Dr told me that if the women in your family have miscarried than you are at a greater risk. However I don't know if it works the opposite way as well.

It's hard to say yes or no, because there isnt significant correlations to back it up scientifically. One person might say yes, but then you can still have a miscarriage. It's just something that happens unfortunately. Just try to stay positive and healthy, most realistic thing you can do.
