Chances of...
As some of you know I have had 3 M/C and am a nervous reck this time. I am 10.5 weeks and just had an ultrasound and baby was fine. Heartbeat was 175. Does anyone know stats on how much your chances of a M/C drop once you reach a certain week and a heartbeat? I don't want to rent a doppler yet. I feel like I will be jinxing myself.

Thank you so much! Yeah, I have not bought anything. I should be buying clothes but can't until I hit the 12-13 week mark. I was even hesitant to join this web site. I had joined others in the past and like your experience... I had the M/C. I have never felt so anxious. Thank you again your words made me feel better.

This time I waited and waited until about 7 or 8 weeks when I just decided to buy the WTEWYE book. I actually read in it that "many doctors wait until after 8 weeks to make your first appointment because the chance of miscarriage decreases". Just reading that was so much hope for me. I thought it was 12 weeks for the chance to start decreasing.
I have read the heartbeat starts at around 3-4 weeks but can't be heard until around 5-6 weeks, and I know a lot of people who've miscarried after that.
I'm know the feeling of worry and wait up to (and beyond) 12 weeks. I think 10.5 weeks is a great milestone, though. You're almost there!
I have been worried about every little feeling I get and finally got to 14 weeks. So far so good, but still worry just not as much.
I hope that the next week and a half will go by quick for you and maybe give you an added sense of relief. I'm finding that as I get past the 12 week mark, all of the sudden the weeks are going faster.
Best of luck with your pregnancy!
