This happens in 1 out of every 10 pregnancies. That means it happens twice in a row to 1 out of every 100 Normal women. It happens 3 times in a row to 1 out of every 1000 normal women, (Now we are getting into the less than coincidence area. That is why it isn't usually evaluated until after a 3rd one.) I have had patients who have had 4 in a row and nothing was found and then they got pregnant and had 4 full term deliveries in a row.

It could. Chromosome testing is very expensive $500 each parent and you would both need to be tested and if it was found, there is no treatment for it. Just keep trying until the right chromosomes get together.

It could, but the odds are 90% that it won't.
