Liklihood of two miscarriages in a row?

I had a micarriage on July 29, of this year. I found out I was pregnant again this past Mon. I am 5 wks today. I was 7 and 1/2 wks when my miscarriage occured. Obviously, I am a nervous wreck about it. I never got AM sickness with my miscarried pregnancy, but had it SEVERELY with my 3 previous children. I have not thrown up yet with this pregnancy, so that concerns me...but have been nauseous. And dizzy as well. Okay, so at 5 wks...too early for vomiting? possible reason for dizziness? And what is the liklihood of having 2 miscarriages in a row? I have NEVER had any other issues with my previous three pregnancies, prior to the miscarriage. Please give me some uplifting news. I cant help but worry :(

Update:

I havnt made it past 6 wks yet. I am 5 wks. I was 7 and 1/2 weeks when miscarriage occured

    One thing you can do is just look at the true facts: the chance of miscarriage drops dramatically after you see the heartbeat and the chances drop even more significantly after you reach 12 weeks. Since you already made it past 6 weeks (when your miscarriage was previously), you should already be breathing a small sigh of relief. I think as parents, we just worry. We worry about the baby before they are conceived, before they are born, and after they are born. It's natural to worry.

    Have you considered doing a pregnancy swimming class or yoga class? These can help to relieve stress while helping you get out and exercise a bit. Mediation or prayer (if you're religious) can help relax you as well. Also you should just know that you are doing absolutely everything in your power to prevent a miscarriage.

    My sister had the some problem. She got pregnant, lost the baby and then they tried to have a baby for 6 years and she wasn't even getting pregnant. She tried fertility drugs, got pregnant and had 1 child. She got pregnant again about 3-1/2 yrs later and lost the baby. It is possible to have 2 or more miscarriages in a row. You can have a normal pregnancy but I would seek a fertility specialist. Also, its completely understandable to be sad when you see other pregnant women. My sister is, I guess you could say envious, a lil bit b/c I have 3 kids and she has 1 and would like more. She also gets upset and sad when she would see other pregnant women during those 6 yrs that they were trying.

    Most miscarriages are spontaneous and have nothing to do with what you do.

    i cant say much but when you are pregnant you cant really be stressed but the only help i can give you is that tomato juice is very good for the mother to drink when she is pregnant.
