1. Misscarriage!!! i think thats number one for most women until 12 weeks!
2. still birth
3. Traumatic delivery
4. Deformed baby
5. Postnatel Depression

the main one has gt to be that there will be something that will effect the baby and stop them making the most of their life!!!

1 Miscarriage
2 Birth defects
3 Traumatic delivery
4 emergency caesarian
5 very premature birth

It's weird trying to put them in order...I don't think the order is right but I don't want to spend too much time deciding!

I think mine are along the same lines
1. Miscarriage
2. still birth of one or both babies
3. major birth defects
4. very early birth
5. an episiotomy ( I saw a terrible video clip once)

I'm carrying two and either the fears are bigger or I'm anxious anyway I know the risks are higher so maybe that accounts for it.
