The chances continue to go down, sharply after 12 weeks, but are never "gone". Chances are YOUR baby will be wonderful and completely healthy.

Greetings ! I have read that the risks of miscarriage dramaticaly decrease as you get closer to 12 weeks, and that if you have seen ( via Ultrasound) the baby's heartbeat tha the chances of miscarraige are even lower. there is a remote chance of miscarriage after 12 weeks but nothing like before 12 weeks. If the ultrasound revealed a healthy fetus, then is sounds like things are going well for you. Congratulations and try to enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!

my doctor told me that once the baby shows a steady heartbeat on the ultra sound the chance of a miscarriage drops tremendously. Do you have a history of miscarriage? If so then I understand why you are so worried about this; But if not then I wouldn't stress out too much about miscarrying. If you have any concerns about your baby then you should express them to your doctor, I'm sure he\she would be more then happy to reassure you that your baby is just fine. Signs of a miscarriage are severe abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding....you should call your Dr. immediately if this happens...or head straight to an ER. Good luck, and congratulations on your pregnancy!

I know it's hard, but try to relax. Keep yourself busy and occupied.
At 9 weeks if the baby was healthy that's def a good sign. As far as miscarriages in the second trimester, it happens, but not often.
Good luck and try to keep positive.

It's pretty rare to miscarry at any time. It happens, and it's tragic, but if you don't have a history of it, don't worry about it too much :). It will just cause you and the baby undue stress, and won't make you happy to be pregnant. Chances are far and by in your favor that your baby is happy, healthy, and coming in another 30 weeks. Good luck.

Usually once you hit 3 months you are pretty safe, but there is always a change of a miscarriage even up the the end!!

after 10 weeks it a less than 5% chance. Second trimester losses are rare, but they can happen. good luck and congrats

The chances are none if God wants you to have the baby. You are not a statistic but an individual and so is your baby. Don't waste your time worrying about what may or may not happen. Enjoy today.

chances decrease substantially after the first 12 weeks, i know how you feel im at 8 weeks and its bothering me but im not gonna let it stress me out. Stay positive, eat right, dont smoke, take your prenatal vitamins and you should be fine. good luck!

RELAX!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unless there are reasons for you to be concerned, or at high risk you just have to wait it out. There are no gurantee's either way. Just remember whatever stress you feel so does the baby. Just relax, pray about it.
Congrats & Best Wishes
