No, you can still loose, but it goes down by 12 weeks and certainly with a good heart beat!!!! I lost after a heartbeat, but you are probably ok! You are so close to making it! Try not to stress, which is so hard after a loss!!!!! Best wishes!!!! You have 4 more weeks and then you can start to relax!!!!!!!!

It depends on who you ask but i have read in several places that once you have seen the heart beat your chance of miscarriage goes down alot. Try to take it easy and dont stress about it too much( i know this is hard because I am also pregnant and have been told i have a risk of a miscarriage but do your best not to worry!) and good luck Im sure everything will be fine.

I bled at 6 weeks and a few days and when they did an internal scan they picked up a heart beat. I am now curently 31 weeks pregnant so there is every chance that you will keep this baby. I had quite a bit of blood, lots of cramping and was totally freaked out but obviously he held on so goodluck to you xx

It's good that they saw a heartbeat, but the chances of miscarriage reduce after the first trimester. I know it's easier said than done, but TRY not to stress about things because stress is not healthy for your baby. Relax and soon you will be in your second trimester. Good luck!

YES. :-)
Once a fetal heartbeat has been detected OR when you get to about 12 wks, the risk of miscarriage goes down significantly.
I know it's scary, but try to relax. My daughter is 23 wks and she had some spotting all of a sudden just two weeks ago. We took her to L&D and they found the heartbeat and checked her out, and said it was probably from sex, so they have ordered her to have no more sex just to be safe. She was scared to death, but her baby is fine! :-) Yours will be too.

no, the chances of a miscarriage decrease after 12 weeks, but as long as they saw the heartbeat your in the clear, try not to stress out too much ( i know easier said than done) becuase the stress is really bad and could cause a miscarriage.

chances of miscarriage goes down after your first trimester. But normally "they" say after hearing a heartbeat...you're most likely in the safe zone. Don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll be fine!

The chances of miscarraige go down dramatically at about 3 months. I know miscarriage is very difficult and emotional. Just try to think positive and do the best you can.

The chance for miscarriage goes down significantly after your 1st trimester,,,, a woman can have a miscarriage anytime but, after the 1st trimester, most women feel a bit safer................
GOOD LUCK
