Is it normal to be scared of miscarriage?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, it’s normal to feel scared of miscarriage, especially if you’re pregnant, trying to conceive, or have experienced a loss. The fear can be upsetting, but it doesn’t mean something bad is going to happen.

Pregnancy can come with a lot of uncertainty, and miscarriage is something many people worry about—even when everything seems fine. Hearing other people’s stories or having had a previous loss can make that fear stronger. You’re not predicting the future by being afraid; you’re reacting to something that matters deeply to you.

If the worry is taking over your day, it’s okay to tell someone you trust or bring it up with your pregnancy care provider. You don’t have to wait until you’re in crisis to ask for reassurance or support.
