Healthy live baby at 10 weeks 4 days... what are chances of m/c from now on?

[Sterla]

I had my scan this, thinking I was almost 12 weeks - I was looking forward to spreading the news after the scan. However, my dates were off (I thought they might be), and bubba was measuring 10 weeks 4 days. Everything looked good, and there was a nice strong heartbeat of 161bpm.
So, my question is what are the chances of miscarriage after seeing a healthy live baby at 10.5 weeks? If it's only a small, small chance I'll probably go ahead and start spreading the news, but I just want to be sure first.

TIA

i think it would be the same as if u hadnt seen bub, same percentage as everyone until 12 weeks when the risk becomes alot smaller.
tricky one, we've always told ppl straight away, stupid i know but ah well.
yay for seeing ur little twinkle though!!!

From what I've heard, most miscarriages happen before 8 weeks, and anything past that is pretty good.

But I can't remember actual like percentages or anything.

I have read that the chances after you've seen a heartbeat on a u/s go way down. I would think the chance is pretty slim.

[Sterla]

Thanks girls. I feel like I remember reading percentages somewhere - wish I could remember where!

BTW, I've added a sneaky private album to my FB if you wanna see pics .

Hi Sterla, when my Ob scanned me last week at 9 weeks 5 days, and baby looked good he said 1% chance of miscarriage. So I reckon your chances are excellent.

[Sterla]

Oh thanks Honeybee! That's exactly what I wanted to hear . Actually, maybe that's the percentage I was thinking of...

I went ahead and told a bunch of people. Couldn't help myself!

Awww Im not sure about percentages although I have heard the h/b thing as well but yay for a happy healthy baby and heartbeat!! I couldn't help myself and told people too but if we were to m/c they were the people who would be my rock anyway IYKWIM. Hope the next few weeks fly by and you can settle back and relax xoxox

its 1% in the second trimester if that helps...mind you I had 2 in my second trimester

[Mum2Romone]

I guess I was the one percent, and I told people at 10 weeks

[~Kim~]

Yep Sterla I'm pretty sure it's 1% after seeing a HB after 8wks.

M2R don't worry I'm that 1% too babe.

After seeing a nice strong hb at 10 wks 4dys I would say your chance of m/c is microscopic. Congratulations.

Hi. There is a very very small chance of miscarriage but that would be under 5% maybe even less. When I have misscarried in the past it has happened at about 8wks and less. Once you get to 10wks I would say you are pretty safe. Good luck with everything!! Xx
