Do you feel this app makes you worry about miscarriage more or less?

Question

Sometimes I feel like I worry about losing my baby more when using this app. I even took a couple week break where I uninstalled the app. I feel like more women who have miscarried use this app so it makes me feel like it happens a lot more. I like this app for the community, help and advice/opinions, so I want to keep using it, but do you feel like this app affects your pregnancy in other ways?

Answer

I really feel like the benefits outweigh the worries - there’s a lot of camaraderie and support on here. 
Try to stay on the “happy” channels like birth stories and in your pregnancy month.
Also, you may want to talk to someone about the feelings of anxiety you’re having around miscarriage.

Answer

In a normal pregnancy, most women remain silent because there’s nothing worrying them. However, when something bad does happen they post it looking for advice,  so it only gives the illusion that a lot of people are having issues. 
#silent majority

Answer

I understand that feeling. I think this app exposes us to a lot of sad stories and scenarios that we haven’t considered. I’ve becoming overwhelmed by some things I read and some stories make me worried when I don’t have a need to worry. 
However, I also find comfort in knowing that other women have been in my shoes and experienced the things I have. It’s not always easy to talk about loss in real life so I think the app gives women a platform to vent and find support.

Answer

1 in 4 pregnancies end in loss so there are definitely more women not experiencing these things. This is just a safe space for women to seek advice so you see it more.

Answer

Yes, more people come on here scared and asking questions about something scary happening to them (bleeding, spotting, cramping, hcg decreasing, etc.) and wanting answers. There are MORE women not going through those things and I have to remind myself that! If you see something that makes you doubt your own pregnancy, just keep scrolling 🙂 good luck
