Lots of Questions
Posted: 08-16-06 16:17pm

I was just wondering when do missed miscarriages usually happen like
how many weeks were you when you had one if you ever had one
and how common are they. And when can I stop worrying like is there
a certain point in pregnancy that I can like stop worrying about miscarriage/missed miscarriage

thanks

I really don't think you should worry about it. You should be thinking happy thoughts not waiting to see if something bad is going to happen.

Usually after the first trimester you are in the safe zone. I know, I was paranoid about it too. I dont really know why...

My first pregnancy I was so worry-free and only thought about how lovely it was going to be once my baby was here. Then I had a missed miscarriage (found out at 13 weeks the baby had died at 8) and now this pregnancy has been beyond nerve-wracking for me. I know it's hard not to worry when you're pregnant but before something bad happened to me I was fine. I just wish everyone could relax and enjoy their pregnancies.

Just think happy thoughts! How far along are you? I'm 29 weeks and everything is fantastic!

Trisha girl, you'll be alright.
I had a miscarriage really early.
At 5 weeks.
This time around .I'm almost 10 weeks
&.Everything has been great so far.
They say after the 8th week,
the risk goes down quite a bit,
&.Then after the first trimester it goes
down to about 1%.
Also, if you've already heard the heartbeat
of your baby, it goes down to 1% after that, too.
Miscarriage is spontaneous &there's nothing you
can do to stop it- but that doesn't mean you
have to sit around worrying your little buns off.
You'll be alright!
