1st trimester

[robinsjl]

I'm only 5 weeks but will be 6 weeks tomorrow. I just had my first doctors appointment to confirm the pregnancy and everything seems all good to go. BUT the doctor did tell me that every 1 of 2 pregnancies end in misscariage during the 1st trimester. Understandably so I'm a little worried that something will happen to the baby. I'm assuming it's normal but I just wanted to know if anyone else is having the same concern

Oh phew, those sound like much better odds!

hi my doc said once heartbeat detected miscarriage is only 10%! :)

I've heard 1 in 4 not 50%! The percentage goes down each week and significantly after 12 weeks. Unfortunately there is always a small risk of miscarriage throughout pregnancy.

The statistics are actually 1 in 4 women will suffer a miscarriage.

Thanks ladies! I wish nothing but positive thoughts to the two of you and your soon-to-be-here little ones!

I lost a child last year, not in the first trimester. Trust me when I tell you worry gets you nowhere. Trust your body and breathe. Stress is not good for you and your little bean. Think positive and take care of yourself.

1 of 2 is a very scary ratio!!! This is my first pregnancy and I am scared of the same thing. I am doing my best to just think positive and avoid potential risk factors :) I'm about 8 weeks and have my first OB appointment on 8/3. Good luck to you and hope you have a healthy pregnancy!
