Chances of miscarriage

[Jean Morgan]

I am currently 11 weeks pregnant.  My most recent ultrasound showed a heartbeat of 162bpm and a normal looking pregnancy.  I am still worried since my last pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 8 weeks.  Can you tell me what the chances are of having another miscarriage at this point in my pregnancy?

Also, does stress affect my chances of miscarrying?

My doctor has told me that once you can see a heartbeat the chance of miscarriage is drastically reduced to less than 5%.  Good luck!!

Hi! I know the nervousness your feeling.  I have a 2 miscarriages and then 2 yrs for fert tx. I am currently, (as of today) 9 wks.  I had my 2nd u/s 4/16 b/c i was feeling cramping and no longer nausea/tried.  Well, must of been in my head b/c I'm back to being sooo sleepy (2 hour naps a day) and little nausea at times.  The u/s showed everything according to schedule and FHR of 174. You need to think positive day to day.  My Fert Dr advised me, after 8 wks with no s/s of miscarriage on u/s and/or from the patient you have 90% chance to continue on the pregnancy.  Hope this helps, there are many of us who are in your situation.  Don't feel alone,  it's so easy to worry about the little stuff that we feel or don't feel. However, it's not little to us!!  Wishing happiness in Novemebr!!
