Missed m/c risk?

Question

Does anyone know the risk of having a missed m/c after having an 8 week u/s and seeing a heartbeat? I literally keep having nightmares that when I go to the doctor in 2 weeks there will be no heartbeat 😔😔 I know worrying will not change or help anything but some facts to hopefully calm my mercies will help.

Answer

When I went to my first appointment I ended up only being 7 weeks so we could see the heart beat but not hear yet. My doctor told me that now that we see the heart beat and that baby is in the right place there is only a 2% chance of something going wrong as far as a miscarriage, this eased my mind a little! Just try and stay positive and read positive postings :)

Answer

I think we all have had those nightmares! After a heartbeat is detected the risk of a miscarriage drops to about 5% I believe. So very low. And once you hear one after 12 weeks it drops to 1%. Hugs!! I recommend a Doppler too. I get to listen to baby every day.

Answer

Lindsay why don't you try and get an at home Doppler. That way you can keep your mind at ease in between appointments. It helps me a lot

Answer

I have the same fear! It has been 4 weeks since my last appt. at 7w 4d and Im now 11w 3d and my appt. is finally tomorrow and Im soo scared they are going to tell me there is no heartbeat!!! Especially since a lot of my symptoms are gone and I don't even feel pregnant!! 😩😩

Answer

I have that fear too. Every pain I have I worry there is something wrong. Your risk drops at eight weeks, drops more at 12, but you still worry until you hold that little one. I am thinking about getting a Doppler.

Answer

Hi you are less than 2% risk at 8 weeks. I believe they say it's 1.5%. Hope this helps

Answer

Pleased I'm not alone. I'm 12+1 and have another week until my scan. We had one at 6+1 due to a bleed but there was a heartbeat however still petrified. X

Answer

I have the same fear as well! My first dr appt is this afternoon and according to LMP I'm 11w4d.
