I am 33 years old and this is the first time I've ever been pregnant (also the first time I ever wanted or tried to be pregnant).
Needless to say, I don't know a lot about it.
Apparently, miscarriages are super common. I had no idea how common they were. I had imagined that miscarriages only happened in the 1700s after taking too much cod liver oil, or something. I had no idea that something like 8-10% of all pregnancies today in 2012 end in miscarriage.
It is terrifying.
Yesterday I saw reports of approximately 5 miscarriages on the October 2012 Birth message board I am on.
I had originally planned to announce the pregnancy on Mon/Tues of this week, if all goes will with the sonogram, but now I'm thinking maybe I should wait, since I'll only be at about 6-7 weeks along at that time.
Thoughts?
Wait until you're comfortable. The thought of announcing and then announcing a miscarriage is just heartbreaking. Hang in there. The weeks will fly by.
