What are the chances of pretern labor/stillbirth?

If im not worried about one thing its another and right now I just have a fear of this happening to me. I know anything can happen, but what are the chances of this happening if you have no health conditions and if you are young and if the baby has had a good heartbeat and movement every checkup. They also said the placenta is exactly where it should be. Im 21 weeks the baby doesnt move much but I do feel little bubbling flutters sometimes through out the day. The only thing that has been concerning me is heavy discharge than I usually have but I think I have a mild yeast infection. So whats the chances?

    Well hun, the heavy discharge is VERY normal. I had to wear pads my entire pregnancy. Oh, and I'm not trying to scare you, but I went into preterm labor at 29 weeks, and gave birth to my son at 30 weeks. There were never any warning signs. I just started contracting. The doctor said it was most likely due to a weak cervix, but there was no way to tell for sure until I get pregnant again. I had had a COMPLETELY healthy, normal pregnancy up until I just randomly went into labor early. My baby came out absolutely healthy. He was just small. And with you being only 21 weeks along, feeling only flutters is normal too. I didn't start really feeling my little guy really moving/rolling around strong until I was about 25+ weeks. Don't worry yourself about the preterm labor thing. And if it does happen, then it most certainly isn't your fault. These things just happen. Enjoy your pregnancy. Don't stress.

    Well I had a stillborn. I was 19 and everything was prefect until I hit 32 weeks. I was having slight problems and he passed away at 35 weeks, so honestly it can happen to anyone. Just dont stress about it, if it happens its going to happen, you cant stop it so dont stress about it.

    Naina in Kal Ho Naa Ho. I would possibly not quit so readily for anyone that I love.Also it sort of feels a bit of ridiculous if I moved on so readily & speedy to anyone new proper after a heartbreak...I would possibly not be competent to do this...
