I made the mistake of googling what the chance of miscarriage is at 7 weeks (10%? 5%? 3%?) and ended up reading a thread where women described all their miscarriages and what weeks they occurred on. I couldn't stop reading it. It was like driving past an accident on the freeway.

Now I have been pretty calm about everything since I got my BFP. I am working with the theory that a positive mental attitude really does make a difference. But last night I got upset, because I thought I was doing pretty good at 7 weeks with no complications, blood or unusual symptoms. We've told family that we're expecting, I'm mentally decorating the baby room - I've emotionally committed to assuming that this baby will be born.

Then I read about piles of 8 week and 9 weeks miscarriages - like alot! And 11 week and 13 week miscarriages and women whose babies dies at 9 weeks but didn't find out till 15 weeks. These are the things that pregnancy nightmares are made of! I wish I never read any of it!

I also read some scientific reasons for the huge number of m/c at 8/9 weeks and that is because that is a stage in development where chromosomal errors are likely to be recognized.

Sorry about the rant! Not even my thread...sorry.

Yep already done that! not pleasant to say the least! poor wee beans!

I know what pic you mean! I did this the other week.

A very sensible warning, especially to people who may have just come into first trimester. I have scared myself silly with Google!! And that is despite knowing I should avoid at all costs!

It's all depndent on the baby having a heartbeat hun as if it has one at 7 weeks your chance of miscarrying is down to 5%

Ohh i did that yes2day....how AWFUL!!!!! I felt sick!!!

I did that as well and I cried for all those babies too!
