9 weeks along, and a little worried!
I'm about 9wks 2 days now, and have heard a strong 180 HB already and have also seen the heartbeat! I had a miscarriage last April and am still worried about that! The MC was a VERY early one my levels were really low, so I was just barely pregnant. But, I'm wondering if being this far along and seeing/hearing the heartbeat decreases my chances of a miscarriage? I know it's not 100% EVER in a pregnancy just want to know if it's lower?! THANKS!
Melissa,
I had a couple m/c before this pregnancy so I know the worry. Mine were also very early. They say after hearing heart beat the chances of m/c go down to like 3-5% so I think it's safe to think that you will be okay. I know it's hard after you've experienced a loss. Just take comfort in making it this far and hearing and seeing the baby's heart beat. That's a great milestone!

Yes, your chance of miscarriage goes way down once you hear the heart beat so don't worry! It is looking very good for you!!
my dr had me come in weekly until we saw a heartbeat on the monitor. after that (7w 3d) she said i had nothing to worry about and she never worries once she sees the heartbeat. so try not to stress! :)
I imagine it would be lower. I read somewhere online that the higher the HB the better. I think that anything over 200 isn't good though. I had an ultrasound this past tuesday. I thought I was only 5 weeks and 4 days... Turns out by the size of the baby I am about 8 weeks and 4 days. With that prediction I would of been on my AF so I'm either a week more along or a week less. I am confused... but anyway. I heard the heartbeat and the tech said it was 176 BPM.
If I am a week more along that means I had 2 AF's and spotted for 3 days a week before my AF this month. But I guess everything looks good. I had a Beta HCG test done last monday and wednesday, my HCG levels didn't rise like the DR thought they would. I had another test done this past monday but haven't gotten the results. I go to the DR tomorrow.
