PEOPLE ARE RUDE AND SHOULDNT BE SAYING YOUR GOING TO MISCARRY AND BE ALL HATEFUL ABOUT IT, BUT IT IS KNOWN THAT 30 SOMETHING PERCENT MISCARRY THEIR FIRST PREGNANCY, BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN PEOPLE NEED TO SCARE YOU, ITS NERVE RACKING ENOUGH WITH OUT PEOPLE ADDING TO IT

I worried a lot this is my first and I'm now 25 weeks and 4 days! Just take care of yourself and everything will be ok! I found out at 4 weeks I was pregnant and lots of people were rude saying I would miscarry but I haven't yet then at 11 weeks I started buying stuff for the baby just little things and I had lady's say it was bad luck to buy anything before 7months and my baby would die bc I bought something for her... I think they were just jealous ..

THINK POSITIVE!!! Sadly the risks are higher the earlier the pregnancy. BUT... U should enjoy being pregnant and not stress your baby out by thinking about losing it.

Start buying small things when UR ready... If the horrid chance of a miscarriage happens, just keep the stuff till next time :-)

EVERYONE IS TELLING YOU THIS BECAUSE I THINK ITS LIKE 30 SOMETHING PERCENT OF WOMEN MISCARRY THEIR FIRST PREGNANCY SO IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST PREGNANCY YOU HAVE A HIGHER CHANCE, FOR ME IT WAS TRUE I MISCARRIED AT THE 6 WEEK ULTRASOUND THERE WAS NOT HEART BEAT, JUST TRY AND RELAX AND PREPARE YOUR SELF,

My mom kept telling me prepare for the worst but hope for the best, miscarriages happen and there's nothing that can be done to stop them but that doesn't mean it will happen to yu, just think happy thoughts and what will happen is gonna happen regardless

Good luck and try not to stress

Unfortunately there is nothing to prevent you from a miscarriage. some of the healthiest and most careful people miscarry. All you can do is try not to worry and just live as you normally would, well with a little baby growing in you. Its best to try not to worry. But in the first 12 weeks it us very common to miscarry and you have no control over it. Half of all pregnant women miscarry in the first 12 weeks. But you just have to try to not to worry and good luck!!

Its very common for.women to misscarry their.first pregnancy and then get pregnant again right after and have healthy prrlegnancies I miss.carried in february and was pregnant again in may and im now 20 weeks with a healthy baby boy. I dont wanna.scare u but its a high chance u will some.women dont tho. Just think positive. If u make it to 12 weeks ur pretty much safe of.misscarriage then because ur in ur 2nd trimester. Ur chances GREATLY drop at 12 weeks.its like a 5% chance then! Good.luck!

The only reasons I could think of why someone would tell you ladies that ( besides previous pregnancy complications) is just because the 1st trimester has the highest risk of miscarriage. But it shouldn't be overly stressed about. Good luck! And Congrats!

Dont let them bring u down. everyone usually says wait till first trimester is over...i told everyone at 4 weeks. its more stressfull trying to keep it a secret! if something hapoens its for a reason!  Pregnancy can gi wrong at any stage of the game! Enjoy every moment n memory! dont let them make u think otherwise.
