When can I get excited!? 🌈👶🏼

Question

So I lost my first pregnancy in Sept 2020 due to a missed miscarriage, thought I was 14 weeks, but baby only measured 10 weeks with no heartbeat.
I am now 11 weeks 3 days, and just had recent ultrasound on Sat, baby was moving around like crazy, measured on time and had strong heartbeat of 164.
When can I start to let myself get excited? I'm so scared of another missed miscarriage 😥

Answer

I think 12 weeks is when miscarriage rate drops a lot. So start getting excited! Baby was doing good just a couple days  ago and your so close to 12 weeks. Congrats hun. I hope you have a healthy pregnancy

Answer

I’m in the same boat, had 2 missed miscarriages both a little after 13 weeks. I thought I was safe after 12 weeks too but that wasn’t the case. I’m currently 13w4d and have an ultrasound tomorrow to see if this baby made it past that critical point. Even if baby is ok I won’t be relaxed at all this entire pregnancy. Unfortunately it’s just the way it is when you’ve experienced loss 😔

Answer

Whenever you decide to! Risk of miscarriage/still birth is always there. It never drops to zero. You are the only one that can choose to say I'm going to be excited about this little life instead of worry about death. 
I've had a 14W loss that wasn't missed and I still get nervous from 13-16W of pregnancy, but there is nothing I can do one way or another so I remind myself of that and celebrate every second of this little life that it is here.
