i feel silly asking this because i should know it.....but TBH i do not.

so how come some books, websites, people, etc. say that you are no longer at high risk for MC when you hit 12 weeks and say you are no longer high risk once you hit 14 weeks?

which is it?

Ive heard several sayings like this..I just stick with 12 weeks cause im almost there and it makes me happy haha

i think it really depends on which source you are looking at. Most do agree that the risk of MC drops dramatically once you enter second trimester...........but not every book/website agrees when second trimester starts (some say 12 weeks, some say 13 weeks, and some say 14 weeks) hence the differences.

frustrating to say the least? What do you go by?

Vickie

At BnB you usually enter second tri when you hit 14 weeks. From everything I've read though after 12 weeks (regardless of whether or not you want to call that second tri) the risk of having a MC drops greatly.
