Just thought it would be a good idea to share some tips for first time mums.
My number one tip is to store your stocked packets of wipes upside down so all the moisture goes to the top of the pack. when you come to use them the wipes you take first wont be dry.

These statistics really helped put my mind at ease. I think that people tend to share bad news alot so its more than likeley we will read alot of miscarriage stories that will worry us more than we need to. Praying for all of us!!!
Percentage Likelihood of Miscarriage week by week.
1 week - (before we are even aware its happening )
Chance of miscarraige = 75%
It is estimated that 3 out of 4 eggs that are fertilized do not fuse their DNA correctly, and therefore either do not attempt to implant or fail at implantation. Your period will come as expected in that case.
2 weeks - (You have not yet missed your period, but may have taken an early detection home test.)
Chance of miscarriage = 30%
Implantation occurs about 7-10 days after ovulation. About 1 in 3 eggs will not successfully burrow into the uterus, but might generate a small amount of hCG in the attempt, and set off the early urine tests that detect levels of 25. Your period will often come as expected, even if a test was positive.2
3-6 weeks
Chance of miscarriage = 10%
Once you pass the day that you have missed your period, the implantation is usually established. This number applies to pregnancies where hCG levels reach 50-80.2
7-12 weeks
Chance of miscarraige = 5%
Once the heartbeat is heard, usually at the end of the sixth week or beginning of the seventh, the baby has crossed a major developmental milestone and the miscarriage rate drops again.
2nd trimester
Chance of miscarriage = 3%
The cause of a loss at this point is most often uterine abnormalities or preterm labor or rupture of membranes. These are rare.
At 20 weeks, the statistics move from miscarriage to stillbirth, although babies up to 24 weeks can be considered a miscarriage at the doctor's discretion, so labor & delivery may not be required.
3rd trimester
Chance of miscarraige = 1%
A loss this late is no longer considered miscarriage once fetus is beyond one pound (500 grams) around 24 weeks gestation.
The majority of losses at this point are chromosomal or development problems, cord accidents, or premature birth

I was removed from the Muslim Mummies group.
Why? I have no idea. I can only assume it is because I'm not a mummy anymore as my child passed on.

Hi ladies.
I recently had a miscarriage and I'm looking to TTC again. I am interested in what advice you have. I thought we could post them here.

Hey ladies how are you all doing. Just wanted to stop by and say hello. I recently suffered a missed miscarriage last week and D&C done 2 days ago. Still in so much pain and can't even do much. This was the 3rd loss in year and half.
DH has been really supportive and caring. And I feel like our relationship has become good and much stronger too. Thank god I have him.
I wonder what gods plan is for us. How is your relationship with your so after your loss?
