Chances of another miscarriage after seeing heartbeat?
Ok, so I am probably panicking for no reason...but, I had a missed miscarriage last time I was pregnant (October 09) and a d&c. I am now 9.5 weeks pregnant again. I had an early scan at 7.5 weeks and we saw a heartbeat and the baby (embryo/fetus?) was the right size for the dates. I have another appointment tomorrow (with another scan) and I am just scared that we will not see the heartbeat again! i have no reason to be worried. I have continued having nausea on and off (as I have for the last 3 weeks) but no vomiting, but that is the same as when I was pregnant with my daughter. I guess I'm just scared after last time...
Can anyone give me some reassurance? How common is it to have a miscarriage after seeing a heartbeat at 7.5 weeks?

Miscarriages are about 5% in the first few weeks but once that heartbeat is seen it's less than 1% so don't worry. Nausea is also a great sign of those hormones being nice and high. Sounds like u r just fine.

just relax. you will be fine. ok yes there is still a chance of a miscarriage until about 12 weeks then it drastically drops in chance but if you stress out to much that could cause it in itself. i know exactly how you feel i have lost the last 3 i was pregnant with and i know with this one i am going to be absolutely petrified of having ultrasounds but i know having those ultrasound also helps me relax and stay calm as i can hear the baby's heartbeat and know everything is fine.
so just relax and try to stay calm for your health and your baby's health.
