06-1-2009 - Why am I so concerned? tiredMy mood while writing this blog:
tired


For the strangest reason, I am suddenly very worried about miscarrying. I don't know why exactly since I am in good health and have no complications or anything. I guess it has more to do with the fact that I'd like to announce our pregnancy in a few weeks but what if something happens, you know? I'm 5 weeks now and I'd like to wait until at least my first actual prenatal appointment which is on January 19th just to be sure they don't see any issues. We'd like to tell my husband's family and all of our extended family when we're 8 or 9 weeks and my parents already know (I'm really close to them and there was no way I could hide it haha).

I read up on some statistics online and I read that once the heartbeat is detected, the chance of miscarriage drops some. I know after 12 weeks your rate drops to 2% or less, but I heard after the heartbeat is seen/heard your rate drops to 5%.

I mean, 3% difference. Do I want to chance it? I'm not sure. I know I don't want to tell my employer until 12 weeks, I know that.

I'm so lost. I just don't want it to all end badly! I'm healthy, young and have no major health issues...I should really stop worrying shouldn't I?

Sorry for ranting...

Hi, I have been through 3 miscarriages and now I am pregnant again. To be honest, I dont think there is anything wrong with telling your close family. If the worst should happen (which I am sure it wont) they will be there to support you right from the start x x I hope this helps, Rach.

I was looking this up for you and came across this article you should read it if your in great health you shouldn't have much to worry about I hope this helps ease your mind a little bit. http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancycomplications/miscarriage.html
