Anyone else terrified of miscarriage posts?

Question

Before I say this it is NOT my intent to bash anyone. It's clear that some people like to skim read and I feel like often the feed back i get is misunderstood lol 
But anyways I am absolutely hate reading the miscarriage posts or seeing an update that someone miscarried. Not only does my heart break for them but it scares the crap out of me! I can't even talk about miscarriage without getting stressed out about my pregnancy. It's so frustrating! I don't blame the poster because they just need an outlet and I so badly wish I could be there for them but for some reason I just can't help but to wig out. It's stupid of me I know and it's so selfish to be so concerned about myself that it keeps me from helping out to others. I feel like such a horrible person :( I was just wondering if anyone else is right there with me or am I really just that awful? Lol
Can't wait to be at least 12 weeks!!

Answer

You think you're wiggling out? Try being in our shoes. I have to chant mantras all day and stay constantly busy and keep my mind occupied. Not to mention trips to the bathroom are nightmares and probably the scariest thing we do on a daily basis. I'm pregnant with a rainbow baby but will never forget the baby I lost. We are not trying to scare anyone. We are called the 1's because every 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. It is the reality and it stinks. You just have to make the conscious effort to have postive thoughts and take care of yourself in the same way that we do. I hope you have a healthy and happy 9 months.

Answer

After having two healthy pregnancies and deliveries I pretty arrogantly ruled out and tuned out miscarriage as a possibility with my third pregnancy this spring. We lost the baby and if it hadn't been for all the women in my life who had previously shared their stories of loss with me I would have felt so lost and alone. So, its not just that these women need an outlet. Their stories can be comforting and empowering.

Answer

It really is a statistics thing. It's more likely you will not have a miscarriage, but I think people with miscarriages (or twins! Haha, a good one but also rare) -- I think these people tend to post more often because they have more to say, more stuff they have gone through that they need to talk about, I think. I know bc I had a miscarriage earlier this year---only saying that so other people who have had miscarriages don't think I'm speaking out of turn. But, the chances are still much more likely that you will have a healthy pregnancy! Same for me, I feel better about this pregnancy because my chances of miscarrying again are lower than they are for having healthy baby! If you are the 1 in 4, just know you will get through it and be ok! If you are the 3 in 4, it is more likely you are the 3! Haha. So, be positive! It'll be ok! Just know posts about that and twins are more common for the amount of people that experience these as compared to the percentage of people that post: hey everything is normal with my singleton, haha.

Answer

I feel the same way. I just stay off the app for a while when it's overwhelming. If you look at statistics, it's really not as common as all these posters make it seem.

Answer

Awwww...I totally get it. My first pregnancy, I didn't listen to horror stories, I wouldn't watch movies/shows with pregnant women in them screaming, I only allowed positivity into my space.

Try to do that as much as you can.

Answer

And I'm just going to leave this right here for all you people that think it's not common. 25%=1/4. 1. In. 4.

Answer

I feel the exact same way.  I mean, regardless of what could happen, I try my very best each day to live by the power of positive thinking.  It is not in our hands to control something out of our own control so we shouldn't stress over miscarriage regardless of the statistics.  That's my personal opinion.

Answer

I absolutely feel the same way. Seeing all the miscarriage posts makes me just think negatively and worry. My husband keeps telling me not to read them...

Answer

You are not alone, I find myself doing he same thing. I don't think it's being selfish... I think it's our way of protecting ourselves from anxiety and stress...

Answer

I feel the same way. It makes you feel like it's more likely to happen than it actually is.
