    14 weeks pregnant,worried about miscarriage...
    Hi,I am 14 weeks pregnant now and I want to ask something to clear up my mind and stop worrying.. I have blighted ovum before I got pregnant again this time... and my question is, is the uterus also growing and belly is expanding if you are going to have miscarriage.. becoz now I have obvious pregnant belly and my uterus seems growing properly,no bleeding or pain but still worried of miscarriage...

    It is very understandable to be concerned since you have experienced a loss before. At this stage, since all is well, a miscarriage becomes more unlikely. The vast majority will happen in the first trimester, often before women even know they are pregnant.

    Try your best not to worry, but don't hesitate to ask your doctor or midwife for reassurance anytime you need it. Sometimes just a quick listen to baby's heartbeat is all you need to have some peace of mind... :)

    You'll probably worry a little all through your pregnancy, but honestly, you have passed the dangerous time. Right now, you've got a baby growing in your uterus and everything seems to be going well. Most miscarriages happen in the first 12 weeks.

    Your uterus growing and your belly expanding are signs of a normal pregnancy. In a few weeks, you will be able to feel the baby moving around.

    Don't worry about previous pregnancies, each one is different. Just relax, eat well, take moderate exercise, and enjoy yourself.
