Just curious how common miscarriage is after 10-11 weeks?

[Venus8]

Hi guys. I went for my 10 week u/s on Mon. and it looks like I still have a fetal HB of 171 and the fetus measures almost on target. Although I feel like I have a strong chance of miscarrying due to the bleeding and clots, I was just curious how common it is for women to m/c after they have almost reached the 12 week point. I haven't bled since last Tues., which lasted for that day and was followed by brown discharge for a week, but maybe I still have a slight chance? Last time I m/c'ed the fetus lived 2-3 weeks after the bleeding/clotting happened, so that is why I am so worried. Also, the last time I started bleeding in my 4th-5th week and this time it wasn't until I was 9 weeks. Thanks...

I was 11 weeks pregnant and about to go for my 1st scan the next day when I miscarried. I was devastated.
That was 3 years ago and im now 8 weeks pregnant and worrying! Although I must say I feel different this time. Sick, painful breasts which I didn't get last time.
I too think it was for the best having done a lot of reading up on miscarriage afterwards - at that stage it would have been some genetic abnormality and my body knew best and let it go. Saved me a lot a heartache in the long run I guess. Good luck everyone xxx

I was 10 weeks and then on Sunday last week I started with light bleeding but it was instantly bright red, my first thoughts were panic. I Spoke to my sister-in-law who has had two beautiful baby boys, she advised me that this can be normal in early pregnancy....I wasnt convicnced so they took me to a & e on the Monday they felt my stomach and took blood, they referred me for a scan at the hospital on the Tuesday..when I went for the scan they could only see the pregnancy sack and the yolk but no fetus they said that it could be that the pregnancy is much earlier than i though and its too early to see anything, they said to get plenty of rest. a day later i passed a hugh clot and some more smaller ones along with severe stomach cramps so went to A & E they said that this was most likley the delivery of the rest of the pregnancy. I had another scan this morning to confirm everything had passed and indeed it had there was nothing to see, my blood tests from today came back that the pregnancy hormone was 2400 on Thursday and today (monday) its 200 so its on its way back to normal, i dont feel as if ive lost a baby as i never had chance to see it but i definately feel something....:) good luck to all in the present and future pregnancies

I was also 11 weeks pregnant and had a mc at about the same time you did.  I was absolutely devastated and still am.  I feel for all the woman who have posted a reply on this forum.  It was the most traumatically emotional experience any woman can go through.  Thank you for the words of encouragement and  positive thinking.  I hear a lot of people say mcs are common and they happen to 1 out of every 5 women.  Drs have told me that it's not anything you did but it's just the cells not splitting properly, but it's still heartbreaking.  It has been over two weeks since I've miscarried and it still brings tears to my eyes.  I will try to focus on the good things in my life and start over with a healthy body.  To all the women who are concerned with your first trimester and signs of bleeding.  You have done absolutely the best you can for your baby and mcs are out of your control.  It's a part of life and you just grow from it and be a stronger person.  From doing my research, there are two categories of pregnancies.  One, bleeding is normal for some pregnancies and two, bleeding leads to mcs.  To know which category you fall under will only be determined by medical tests.  Good luck to all and keep your heads up.  Perseverance will prevail and one day will will all have healthy happy babies.

I've read through so many of your stories.  If I can give a clue as to what to look for or expect for many of you, this is my story.
Mine was pretty standard i guess.  I was 11 weeks pregnant until I miscarried just a few nights ago. I saw my doctor the day before it happened and had mentioned some bleeding (dark) that I was concerned about.  She said not to worry since I hadn't had any spotting so far in my pregnancy.  She did say that if by chance the blood were to turn bright red accompanied by cramping to hit the ER.  Sure enough the next day it did.  Sitting in the ER waiting for my ultrasound, my cramps only got worse until the worst happened.
It was the worse experience I had ever been through but after alot of research, I learned that indeed it was for the best.  Miscarriage usually happen because of genetic defects, or a problem disagnosed by your own body.  Its a process of natural selection that your body knows best.  This really helped me through.  No doctor could comfort me until I got all the facts.  I've studied health care so I guess I wasn't surprised.  
BUT the good news is, when after you miscarry, the chance of you having a healthy, successful pregnancy once you try again is much greater.  There is a light at the end of the tunnel :)
