Q: I'd Like to Know...

I can't seem to find it anywhere else, but i'm trying to help a really shy friend out about miscarriages and the likes.
She's never had a baby, but is willing to consider it once she finds out some things.
First, she wants to know the chances of having a miscarriage, and than she'd liked to know how soon after a miscarriage can she try to have a baby again.
Thanks for your time.

Chance of miscarriage is always there - with any woman. Some may have higher chances than others due to certain health problems (for ex: a short cervix). The internet would be a good place to start for some additional info.

About getting pregnant after a miscarriage - you should wait @ least 2-3 menstrual cycles before trying again. Hope this helps your friend out:)
