Is it true that miscarriage is unlikely 5% after first trimester?

Question

I never know what to think bc im always seeing that you shouldn’t have anything to worry about after your first trimester but I keep seeing people say they miscarried at 16w, 18w, etc. it’s driving my anxiety insane & making me not want to announce bc I would be so sad/embarrassed if something happened after I’ve been so excited 😭

Answer

Theres less than 1% of miscarriage after 14 weeks technically. I think glow just makes it seem more likely because women who have trouble getting pregnant or staying pregnant use this app frequently. Honestly I know 1 person in real life who had a miscarriage after the 1st trimester and that was my grandma back in the 60s. So no, I dont feel its very common at all. Also keep in mind starting at week 20 its classified as a stillborn rather than miscarriage which means any infant loss after week 20 isnt included in miscarriage statistics.

Answer

The statistics are in your favour to have a healthy pregnancy. It probably seems like they happen a lot more because women who go through them reach out on here a lot for support.

Answer

It does lower to that percentage but you see alot of women on here have stillbirth or late miscarriage just because we are almost all pregnant. Therefore it seems to be a higher number, in reality it’s not.

Answer

Miscarriage after 12-14 weeks is very uncommon and typically happens due to trauma or illness as opposed to abnormalities that wouldn’t allow the pregnancy to continue or the fetus to survive, which is typically why miscarriages happen early on.
After that 12-14 weeks, miscarriage risk drops significantly, to as low as 1% or less for most healthy women. You can rest easy. Just keep in touch with your doctor if you have any concerns.

Statistically speaking, yes chances drop after the 1st trimester, however 1 in 4 will end in loss. 15-20% of annual pregnancies to be more specific

Answer

One reason you see so many stories about it on this app, think about how many people are using this app as well.. there's 1M+ people in just one group, so there's millions of women out there who use the app daily.
