Tattoos?

[marie521]

I got a tattoo on my right side a little below my belly button around 4 weeks pregnant. (Obviously before I knew I was pregnant.) I was almost 6 weeks along when I had my miscarriage. Could the tattoo have caused my miscarriage for some reason?

Thank you all. I'm sorry for your losses JRW93! It is pretty hard coping and I can't help but think what I could have done differently. It was meant to be though. I just hate (not hate, but close to it) that with my first pregnancy, it was easy to get pregnant. I'm not going to lie, she wasn't planned. I had barely gotten off birth control to switch to another and Bam! But after her, I've had a tough time getting pregnant, and when my significant other and I found out I was pregnant, we couldn't be happier. I guess it just upsets me that i can get such a beautiful surprise with my daughter, and when I plan a sibling for her, it doesn't go as planned.. If that makes sense. I just needed to vent over that and feel much better. :)

I agree, it probably would have happened either way, it was most likely not the tattoo, there are so many women that get tattoos before they find out. I'm sorry for your loss!

No. Please don't beat yourself up with the "what ifs". You will never know why but I can pretty much guarantee it wasn't the tat. So sorry for your loss.

Absolutely not...u didn't know u were pregnant because it was way 2 early so the tattoo wouldn't have done anything.  Miscarriages just happen especially if it was ur 1st pregnancy.  I had a miscarriage at 6weeks also over a year ago

At that point it would be a problem with the cells and I can't see the tatoo making much of a difference.
