I'm 19-weeks and felt that now that I'd reached this far, I'd definitely be giving birth to a healthy baby in September. But I hear so many women talk of losing their babies at 20 weeks onwards, and now that I'm almost past the stage of worrying about miscarriage, I'm now worrying about stillbirth! I try not to worry, but my friend has just been told they can't find the fetal heartbeat at 21 weeks!, my adopted mother had a stillborn son at 6 mts, and my friend had a stillborn son at 5 mts. Does anyone know the statistics? Been trying to look them up, but can't see them get anywhere! And my midwife won't give me any answers at all, saying 'you can never know. just relax'. I know that's sound advice, but too many women seem to have experienced it. God, it would kill me if I lost my baby now! ↓

| we all worry about the chance that our baby will be a stillbirth, but you can only do so much inoder to prevent it and most likely you will have a healthy baby at the end of your pregnancy. Your not alone in worrying about it just make sure you do all the right things and take care of yourself ok ↑ |

| Think of it this way. Look at all the people in the world. So many healthy babies are born EVERYDAY. Still birth happens, but when it does, it's for a reason. Trust me, I worry about this, too but I also realize that worrying just makes things worse. That's definitely not good for the baby. So, just relax!! :) ↑ |

Here, I found this: Stillbirths
A stillbirth, the death of a baby after the 20th week of pregnancy, can occur before delivery or as a result of complications of labor or delivery. It is very rare and occurs in less than 1% of all births.
Hope that makes you feel better! ↑ |

| I agree with all the advice here :) I too have stories going around in my head sometimes. I decided that sometimes bad things happen and I'd make it through, but chances are they won't and then I spent far too much time stressing. ↑ |
