Just what I needed to see today. I am on edge and feel like every sneeze is going to cause a MC. I am absolutely terrified of loosing this baby. Dr apt isn't until 10/12 (week 9) so have a way to go until I can be more reassured.
Thank you so much for this. I've seen the statistics the other way around and was even more anxious. Somehow seeing it this way is so reassuring. I needed this tonight.
@BumpAdmin, I'd like to repeat my request to have this thread pinned. I feel there is enough support for that from other users. So if you could, that would be great.
Thank you for this. My first and only pregnancy was 7 years ago. I am having a hard time thinking I will hold a beautiful baby because it feels like I wasn't supposed to have additional children. About a year ago my husband, son and I accepted our 3 person family. So I needed to see this.
I'm trying not to think about it too much, but I also don't want to let myself get too excited. I'm 40 so the chances of having chromosomal abnormalities are higher. Had a miscarriage in December at 9 weeks so I know it happens. So far the first blood test for HCG and progesterone looks good. Going back tomorrow (Monday) to see if they are increasing well. It's very early days. Period not even due until tomorrow. It's a scary wait and see time x

@DutchLucyLu thanks for this info, needed the encouragement today. It's also great to see another familiar name from TTGP on here. Hoping we all have h&h 9 months.
With my recent losses (I'm 5 weeks pg and have had two losses this year), I've been afraid to even utter the word "pregnant" in case I jinx this one! Even if this chart isn't accurate, it is comforting. I'll take it! Thank you for posting
I have been extremely worried about miscarrying (miscarried last year at 5 weeks and am officially 5 weeks today)... I recently went to an iridologist who told me that my thyroid was low, and that I could not get pregnant, and if I did I would only be able to keep it for a month until my body could no longer support it...I am trying to stay positive and forget about that because I DID get pregnant, and am on my way to keeping it for more than a month. Just praying that he isn't right, and that a low thyroid is not the reason for my loss last year. I have an appointment with my doctor for Thursday, but the iridologist told me that my low thyroid would not be able to be detected via the blood tests that doctors do.... ***POSITIVE THOUGHTS***....but am still very worried!!!

I would try not to worry. Iridology is really a pseudoscience and not backed by evidence. And the iris mostly remains stable throughout ones lifetime, so it wouldn't really make sense to detect problems that way. I would trust your doctor.
Thank you for this! This is my 1st pregnancy and I have been so worried about early miscarriage. It has taken awhile to conceive, and this really eased my mind!
Hello newbie here! This just made me feel SO happy. Thank you. I get nervous about that. Not telling anyone im expecting except close family and husband... Mostly because of "bad luck" lol
