Re: miscarriage risk????

I'm NOT a doc, but I had a similar question earlier this pregnancy. At 13 weeks, having seen a heartbeat at this point on an u/s, I've heard that your risk of 1st trimester miscarriage is over, which leaves you a 1-2% chance of loss from here on out. Everyone's body is different, and sometimes it takes a little while to be able to hear the heartbeat. This info is based on what a doc told me after seeing the heartbeat at 9 weeks, by the way, even earlier than you are!

Good luck - sounds like you're off to a great start!
