when you tell people that you are 7 weeks pregnant why does the subject of a miscarriage come up? This is the first time I have been pregnant and I didn't realize how common they were and I am deeply sorry for those who have experienced it but because whenever I tell people I am preg. and they wonder why am I telling poeple cuz I could miscarry it makes me think that I am going to...anyone ever feel this nervous about miscarrying when everything so far has been fine??

1 in 20 women miscarry in the first 8 weeks, the number lessons the longer she is pregnant... most people don't announce that they are pregnant until they are 12 weeks because of this. My sister just went through a miscarriage.. she was 6 weeks when she told us and 8 weeks when she miscarried. She is pregnant again and just told us now that she's 9 weeks pregnant going on 10.. I still think she spoke too soon but we're all happy for her anyway. Good luck.

I am almost nine weeks with my third and I have had a miscarriage. I am so scared that it will happen again. I had an u/s today and saw the heartbeat and my beautiful baby and, I cry remembering it, it was that relieving. But I still have a small fear it will happen. even though I was told everything looked great. I will feel better by time February comes cause I will be farther along and past that chance line. Best of luck to you and I hope all goes well for you. Congrats!

I have 5 kids-live births- and 1 miscarriage. I never thought about it. I knew about it and that it could happen but I never focused on the negative. Anyway stress wont help and it might even cause it. relax and start thinking of names. death is something that is dealt with all the time don't try mentally dealing with things that have not happened . I never had those test for retardation or down syndrome because whats the point it is your baby and if a test comes back that something is wrong even though the test is not 100 % accurate why would you get rid of it. It is your first pregnancy sit back and enjoy it. Congratulations!!

I was so paranoid about my pregnancies each time that I didn't want to tell anyone I was pregnant until I was past my first trimester and I didn't want any baby showers until after the babies were born. I guess some women worry more than others, and although miscarraige can happen at any time during a pregnancy it most frequently happens in the first trimester. By the way, all three of my children were born at term.

It is completely normal to worry-and yes people do talk about it alot.I unfortunately did miscarry with my 1st rpegnancy at 5 weeks and with my 2nd and 3rd pregnancy was soooo scared it was going to happen again-thankfully it did not and I have a healthy 20 month old son and another boy due in 5 weeks.
You will be ok-the more you think about it the worse you will feel.

I think it is normal. I am 18 weeks and even though my chances have gone way down by now and everything has been great I still worry about miscarrying. Try not to worry about it you will have a great pregnancy and beautiful baby. Good Luck

Many of the people I have known do not tell anyone (except family and maybe very close friends) until the 12th week for just that reason. I wouldn't feel too nervous because it is something you really have no control over (unless you were in an accident or something). Just enjoy it.

I think that it's a common fear in most women. I mean you worry about everything not only during the pregnancy but after they're born too. I would try not to letting get to you there's nothing like the power of positive thinking.

while it is normal to worry about miscarraige MOST pregnancies go to term. Honestly i have never believed in waiting untill teh second trimester. After having a miscarriage i am glad i didn't wait because i would have had no support if no one had known i was pregnant.

Just because this is a critical time. Don't worry about what they say; but I would wait a few more weeks to start telling people.
