In our family, my saas and mom always said to keep it quiet until the first 3 months are over because that's when the baby is settled and safe.

Crossing the first trimester is a relief, but if you have thyroid or other conditions, you must keep up with regular doctor follow-ups to keep the pregnancy safe throughout.

Keep faith, dear. The first trimester is critical, but once you cross 12 weeks, things usually stabilize. Keep praying and take care of your health.

My doctor explained that once you complete 12 weeks and the NT scan is normal, the risk of miscarriage drops below 5%, making it the safest milestone.

Once you cross 12 weeks, the main danger zone is over. Just do your routine scans, eat well, and stop worrying unnecessarily!

When I was staying with my parents, they also told me that after the first trimester (12 weeks), the risk drops significantly and you can breathe a little easier.

Generally, crossing the 12-week mark is considered the safe zone, but every pregnancy is unique. Please consult your gynac to understand your personal risk factors.

Having had complications before, I feel no stage is completely "safe" without doctor's regular checks. But yes, completing 12 weeks is a major milestone, just keep in close touch with your doctor.
