[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It happens. [b]The risk of stillbirth (a loss after 20 weeks) is 1/160. Not to freak you out but it is a reality[/b]. There was a Washington post article on it a few years back http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/06/AR2009070602918.html

No one, including doctors, talk about it or the risks, because most of the time there is little you can do to prevent it. I've know people who have lost babies at 21weeks, 30 weeks and 40 weeks. Sad but reality. [/quote]

This. My sister (who just delivered a heathy baby) lost her last baby at 28 wks. Her amnio was clear and the autopsy results were inconclusive. Her support group was full of women with stillborns. It is horrible but it happens. My midwife practice has patients sign a note saying they understand that late loss happens, often with no forewarning and for unknown reasons. That said, the majority of pregancies have happy endings but there is no point in hiding your head in the sand.[/quote]

Sorry for your sister's loss, but that does not give you the right to take a shit on everyone else. It is NOT putting your "head in the sand" to tune out the what if's. If you are the type of person who wants to know every bad thing that can happen to you, that information is readily available to you. But there is no need to scare the shit out of people who are just otherwise going about their day. Because you know what? There is a 100 percent chance that you will die one day. You can either obsess about it or, you can do what the rest of us mostly healthy people do, which is accept it as fact and go about your merry day without going up to people and saying "hey, know what? YOU'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO DIE EVENTUALLY." Especially on a thread where someone is looking for reassurance. [/quote]
