Are you ever really "out of the woods"?

Question

So I know in the first trimester is when you are most likely to lose the baby. I'm 11 weeks an heard the heart beat at 10 weeks. With just one more week to go I am so nervous about that next appt. but I am curious how likely is it to miscarry in the 2nd trimester? I saw some ladies say they miscarried at 17weeks. Just wondering what would be causes of miscarrying so far in to the pregnancy?

Answer

I don't think so, something can always arise. Women have stillborn births, however I do believe in praying and being optimistic over your babies health no matter what. And believing you'll be meeting your miracle after nine months.

Answer

The percent after the first trimester is 2% but many other factors play a part. Each day is scary but you have to just have faith that whatever happens is meant to be. I found out very early this pregnancy and I was terrified every day and still a little worried until I get to 30 weeks because I know at least my baby may have a good chance of survival. But anything can happen at any moment just don't add more stress. Once your next appt is passed enjoy being pregnant and know that sooner than you think the baby will be here. Good luck and may you have a healthy and enjoyable pregnancy.

Answer

If you heard or saw a heartbeat with that ultrasound you should feel very safe. Things can go wrong at any point, but the primary reason for loss in the first trimester is serious genetic issues which prevent development. If you have a visible/audible heartbeat take a deep breath and relax! Your outlook is sunny! xo
