There continues to be a misconception that some sort of safe zone exists in pregnancy. It’s based on the theory that there is a certain point during pregnancy in which nothing can go wrong and it’s generally considered to be around week 12, towards the end of the first trimester. The assumption is that if a baby survives those first three months in the womb, the mother is guaranteed a healthy newborn; a baby who will live and thrive well into adulthood.
