unfortunately nothing is certain. i miscarried at 21 weeks 5 days but each pregnancy is different.

do you have any reason to suspect miscarriage?

The chances of miscarriage greatly decrease after the first trimester (12 weeks) but as .Becks says, there is no totally safe time. It's natural to worry but try not to let it consume you

There is the whole don't tell anyone that your pregnant before the first 12 weeks because it's voodoo....if you believe it??? I don't really

Like they said...it is decreased after the first 12 weeks....but you always have a risk of preterm labor ect.

Is there a reason your asking this?

If your baby is born at 27 weeks or greater the chances of survival is greatest.

good luck

at that point its considered a stillbirth, not a miscarriage.
they say after 12 weeks you are pretty much in the safe zone.

I'm pretty sure it's only considered a stillbirth after 24 weeks. Technically anyway.

i thought it was after 20.

In the United Kingdom, stillbirths must be registered by law. The Stillbirth Definition Act (1992) requires that any ‘child’ expelled or issued forth from its mother after the 24th week of pregnancy that did not breathe or show any other signs of life be registered as a stillbirth. This must be done within 42 days and a Stillbirth Certificate is issued to the parent(s).

In the United States...The federal guidelines recommend reporting those fetal deaths whose birth weight is over 350g, or those over 19 weeks gestation. Forty-one areas use a definition very similar to the federal definition, thirteen areas use a shortened definition of fetal death, and three areas have no formal definition of fetal death. Only 11 areas specifically use the term 'stillbirth' , oftentimes synonymously with fetal death, however they are split between whether stillbirths are "irrespective of the duration of pregnancy", or whether some age or weight constraint is applied.

the above is taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stillbirth

.i guess maybe it's a cultural thing. I thought it was 20 weeks too, but in the .u.k it's 24.
