the last stats that I saw indicate that between 50 and 60% of the next pregnancies are carried to term in this situation, but that is based on discovery after the first missed period, not like now when we can find them so early. Environmental factors can certainly cause miscarriage, but for something to cause 3 in a row, it would have to be a profound insult, one that would be affecting the mother's health as well most likely.
