Some statistics for those that are worried...

I found this on Wikipedia back when I was pregnant with my daughter and found it quite helpful as did a few of the people on here so I thought I'd post it again....

"Studies using very sensitive early pregnancy tests have found that 25% of embryos are miscarried by the sixth week LMP (since the woman's Last Menstrual Period), even if a woman does not realize it. Miscarriages after the sixth week LMP happen in 8% of pregnancies. The risk of miscarriage is "virtually complete by the end of the embryonic period," with a miscarriage rate of only two percent after 8.5 weeks LMP."

I'm 8 weeks tomorrow so only half a week to go before I can feel quite safe!

Obviously this doesn't account for missed miscarriages but I think the study said that these only happen in around 1% of pregnancies x

Thanks, I am however scared of another mmc.

I don't think you ever stop worrying once you've had a MC or a MMC. I know I didn't after mine. All you can do though is try and tell yourself that statistically your baby is going to be fine and keep your fingers crossed for the best. Hope your baby stays strong and healthy x

You just have to think the odds ARE in our favour. Hard when you've been that one percent as I well know - mmc at 8 weeks after heartbeat seen! Xx
