Robin....not sure where you got the idea that miscarriages are uncommon, but you are sadly mistaken. Estimates are that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. Please read this if you would like to know more. http://www.hopexchange.com/index.html

3 weeks? You found out REALLY early huh? Most people do't find out till they are 4-5 weeks and sometimes later!

Don't worry, I bet your pregnancy will go smoothly. Yes, it's true miscarriage is common in the first 12 weeks but many women have healthy pregnancies and give birth to healthy babies. Don't stress yourself out. Just make sure to eat right, drink lots of water, take prenatal supplements, and try to walk for 20 minutes a day. Congrats and good luck.

Sometimes it can just run in the family. Every one of my married sisters, including me, has lost the first baby around 5 weeks. Every pregnancy after that has been fine (obviously because now I have 6.) The best of luck with everything!

Its really all out of your hands if you miscarry. Just try to relax and be healthy. Thats the most you can do for your little baby. Nature or god kinda has the upper hand in this one. Try not to worry yourself too much. Once you hit the 4 months mark your risk for miscarriage gets extremely lower. But like I said just take it easy and hope for the best. I know your fears though. Mine have just staring getting better cause I am 4 months today.

This is an old post by someone who admitted to faking her pregnancy for attention.
