What are the chances of a miscarriage after 8 weeks pregnant?

Question

If anyone has experience or knowledge of this

I've had a miscarriage 2 years ago, which is why i'm wary of it this time, hoping for the best though x

Answer 1

Hi firstly congratulations! Secondly at 19 we had our first baby but after that we tried for a baby and had 2 miscarriages both over 8 weeks sorry to say, but we have had a daughter since then and i am now pregnant again about 8 weeks and i too am worried about it i think when you get to about 12 weeks you will feel safer i know i will, hope everything goes well for you xx

Answer 2

Apparently 1 in 3 pregnancies ends in miscarriage before 12 weeks, although most of these are before you really know you're pregnant. I had two miscarriages at 6 and 10 weeks. With my third pregnancy I took a small dose of aspirin every day for the first 12 weeks and now have a beautiful baby boy. You could talk to your doctor about this.

Answer 3

The chances of having a healthy pregnancy go from 80% to 97% after the end of first trimsester, at around weeks 12-14. I also read that once the heartbeat is detectable, you are less likely to miscarry too. I am thirteen and a half weeks now. I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks last september.

Answer 4

Miscarriages or missed abortions can happen throughout your whole pregnancy.. unfortunately, but the chances decrease by 80% after the 1st trimester (13wks) and go to 95% after the 2nd trimester. I have had 2 miscarriages one at 6 wks and the other was 11 wks. The 2nd one was due to a chromosome disorder -Turner's syndrome. I wish you all the luck in your pregnancy and try not to stress over anything.

Answer 5

I've always heard you are safer after 3 months of pregnancy, though it can still happen after that. Probably the farther along you are, the safer you are. I've also heard that the more morning sickness you have, that you are less likely to miscarry. This proved true for my step sister who has had multiple miscarriages. I had a miscarriage, though, and I was having bad morning sickness, so who knows... Really, I think there is no guarantee of anything in life.

Answer 6

I have had a miscarriage at nearly 10 weeks. You have a chance of miscarriage until 12 or 13 weeeks.

Answer 7

A healthy pregnancy usually depends on the condition of the ovary of a woman...According to Modern Medical guide:The cause of miscarriage can only be determined by the doctor,and when this is the case he can advise whether another pregnancy might lead to same misfortune.When the cause is corrected a woman is able to carry the next pregnancy through to its normal termination.Its means that a healthy woman produces a healthy offspring..Some causes of miscarriage are excessive physical work,strenuous activities and drugs.

Answer 8

I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks and it doesn't matter how many weeks you are the feeling of grief is the same, You can never be sure about miscarriage just try your hardiest not to worry about it and i really hope it goes well for you.

Answer 9

I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks in April. We "saw" a heart beat but couldn't pick it up. Dr. have told me that after 12 you are more out of the woods.

best of luck

Answer 10

Do you have a reason to assume your body would fail you or the baby?

Most miscarriages are in the frist 12 weeks, and most happen before you realize you're pregnant, or shortly after finding out. Generally because the embryo isnt viable, or external situations are effecting your body negatively. Things like sickness, or stress can cause your body to abort a pregnancy before it has much invested in it. Generally its things you have no control over, or dont know you need to avoid, such as stress.

Unless you have a reason to believe your body would fail you, you really shouldnt even consider it doing so. It only stresses you out and makes your pregnancy unenjoyable.
