When do you consider pregnancy in the "safe zone?"

LauraDaintree

I didn't feel safe until I had my son!! I'm not an especially anxious person but I never  really & truly believed everything would be ok! This time around, I'm determined to sit back & enjoy the experience!

When I see evidence of a heartbeat.

This.

OB said at this point, now that we have a strong heartbeat, m/c risk is down to 2%.

Since this is my first pregnancy, I have been wondering the same thing. I thought that I would be okay at 12 weeks, and that is probably when I will announce it, but even after that, I don't think I will be in the clear until I am holding the baby in my arms. It is important though to enjoy your pregnancy and not stress.

Seeing the heartbeat does calm a lot of those first fears but its a constant juggle of joy and worry throughout the pregnancy and after too.  Nothing is guaranteed until that baby is in your arms.

When I give birth to a breathing infant.

I don't think I'll ever really stop worrying. Every doctors appointment I go to I get a little scared. I'll start to feel better after I deliver, and then the new worries of motherhood get to take over.

I am 35 weeks and still do not feel safe! Like a PP said I won't feel safe until she is in my arms. After having losses I have realized how fragile a pregnancy is and how quickly it can be taken away.
