Once you get passed 12 weeks and once you hear a heart beat the chances drop to less than 5 %, then after 16 weeks the chances drop to 1%
Their is always a chance of miscarring but you have no more of a chance because you have had one.
Relax and enjoy, congratulations.

Just take it easy. Relax as much as you can, and avoid too much stress and travel. I also had a miscarriage, then was pregnant not too long after. I was told to take it really easy (and I did), drink tons of good water (city water sometimes has too many chemicals in it, and some bottled water isn't that pure, so I would go for the water they sell for babies, or install a really good water purifier at home like Steel Tec or Culligan's), eat right (fresh fruit and veggies that you clean in vinegar and salt first), take pre-natal vitamins (watch your hair grow like crazy), and most of all STOP WORRYING!!! My son was born 2 weeks past my due date - Doctors had to go and get him since he didn't seem to have any plans whatsoever of coming out! I was teased that I made it too comfty in there for him. Do some relaxation techniques, some meditation or some yoga - they will help you feel good, and will help your baby too. Congratulations!
By the way, I know you didn't ask, but just in case nobody told you yet - use Palmer's Cocoa Butter everyday....EVERYWHERE!!! It can get boring, but you really want to avoid stretch marks, and they seem to have a nasty way of showing up on whatever little patch of skin didn't get moisturized. If you can't stand lotion all over, at least put it over your breasts (they grow a lot 'coz of the milk), your tummy area, and the whole area around your waist and hips.

What are the chances of having another miscarriage?
Many couples who experience a miscarriage worry that it will happen again. Fortunately, at least 85% of women who have had one loss will go on to have a successful pregnancy the next time, as will 75% of those who have experienced two or three losses.
How might we feel during the next pregnancy?
Your next pregnancy might not be as joyful as you would like because you've learned that life doesn't always go according to your plans. You can't say it's your first, but it is also difficult to say you are a parent. The following are recommendations to make this time a little easier:
Ask that your pregnancy be monitored carefully.
You may want to avoid early preparation for the baby's arrival. Some couples find it helpful to request that baby showers be held until after the arrival of the baby.
Some people will make suggestions about what you should do or not do to make this pregnancy successful because they are also invested emotionally in your pregnancy. The easiest way to handle their suggestions is to listen, and then do whatever you, your partner, and medical team feel is best.
Your birth experience might be bittersweet because memories may resurface about your loss. You will probably need to do some grieving in addition to celebrating your new baby.
Your parenting may be influenced by your past loss so moments of panic might occur, especially when the new baby is ill, or too quiet.
You may feel the need to protect yourself from more sorrow so you might be cautious bonding with your new baby until you're certain he or she is safe and healthy.
If you feel you are struggling, speak to your healthcare provider about possible support groups or counselors who could help you through this difficult time.

Once you've seen and heard the heartbeat, your chance of miscarriage decreases to almost zero. You can still miscarry, but the chances are very low. Congratulations!

If the heartbeat is strong and you've made it past the point where you miscarried then yu should be fine. Good luck and congrats!
