I read somewhere the risk drops to less than 3% after week 10. Now,something big has to happen, like a ruptured placenta, infection, preterm labor or incompetent cervix. I read up on miscarriage- it said when fertilization happens and all the DNA is decided, etc., the baby develops up until something piece of info is missing- then a miscarriage occurs and it has zero to do with the mother not resting enough, or not taking folic acid , etc. I lost one at 8-9 weeks and one at 23. My last one is a beautiful boy- now three. It sucks to lose a child- but we have so little control. It doesn`t help to worry. Just enjoy what you have for today and each day.

im not sute of what the % is but i know it dropped significantly. I felt the same when i was 12 weeks (im now 17) but trust me the less you worry the better it will be.

Oh honey - I know how you feel. I`ve had the same feelings. This will be last shot at being a mommy again (my daughter is 8 and I am 42). Nature has it`s way and you just have to not get too stressed over it. It`s always not far from my mind as well. I got really upset last week as Heather07 was in week 22 and really a great deal younger than me. She went into premature labor and lost her baby. I was so upset for her. I also got paranoid for myself. I felt guilty a bit. Please know that if nature does take that bundle from you, it was for the best and something was not right. If you are young, please know that you can try again later. Don`t dwell too much on it, but know that your feelings are normal. I`m hear for you, just like all the other mom`s and be assured that you have lots of support. Take care and don`t worry about the #`s. I have great hope that we all will do okay.

Hi, I had a missed miscarriage with my first pregnancy and although i do still worry (i think its only normal) we have to try and relax. When ever i feel myself worrying i shake myself out of it and just say to my self everything is ok this baby is going to be fine. The only thing we can do and it makes you feel better :)

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
