I know  that i have a very high risk of m/c due to my age and past m/c, Just wondered if anyone knew how much my chance of m/c went down after an u/s 6w1d with  a heart rate of 176, then a u/s 7w1d with a heart rate of 150, eveything on both scans looked good, but I don't want to get my hopes up to much, thanks for any help,

Hi.  I'm pregnant...13weeks 4days, and just turned 46 on Monday this week.  I had 3 previous mc's b/4 this pregnancy.  My OB told me that if I still had a good hb at 10 weeks, then the mc chance would drop slightly, then again if I made it to 2nd trimester (13 weeks 3 day).  Now I have the genetic testing (tomorrow) and if that comes back clear, it will drop yet again.  I think it just goes in steps.  But having a good scan at 6 weeks and then again at 7 is a really good sign.  Take it one week at a time and try not to stress (easier said than done !!)  Good luck!! and Congrats!!

Don't stress to much about it if they said the baby is healthy than everything should be fine just don't keep thinking about it if u do then that'll just make u and the baby stressed out
