I'm 16 weeks into my second pregnancy. For some reason with my son I was never worried about a miscarriage at all! Now with this pregnancy I have been worried about a m/c the whole first 3 months, then once I hit the 3 month mark I stopped worrying b/c I was told most m/cs happen in the first 3 months. Today I just found out 3 women I know have all lost thier babies in the last few weeks & they where all at 18 weeks!!! Now I'm scared all over again!

Is it just coincidense? I know the one went in for her ultrasound & it was only measured at 14 weeks, the other 2 I dont know anything other than they where 18 weeks.... I'm just really worried, we werent "planning" this baby, but now I'm pregnant I dont want to lose it :(

i'm sure everything will be ok and it is just coincidence. It is true that making the 1st tri-mester is a big milestone where you can have a sign of relief. I don't know the %'s, but I'd say most babies that make it to the 2nd trimester make it. You can always express these concerns with your doctor...they could arm you with %'s. And try to ease yourself with the fact that you had a very successful first pregnancy, so you don't have any warning indicators to really think there will be a problem.



Maybe you are just so worried b/c you know how awesome it is to be a mom now...whereas last time we had NO IDEA. And relax, stressing bout it won't help anything at all as I am sure you know. But I really would say its coincidence b/c you are worried about it...kind of like i've heard many guys say "I never realized how many baby commercials were on TV until my wife got pregnant". You don't pay attn to a topic until its on your mind.



Take a deep breath, a nice nap, and have your hubby rub your feet!!! =)
