Miscarriage - how does percentage decrease by the weeks?

[DivaDebs]

Hi all. I am almost 10 weeks pregnant. I am 40, and have had 3 miscarriages, so I am incredibly anxious. The 1st 2 were at 6 weeks, the 2nd at 8 weeks (although I didn't know until week 11).

The hospital are taking great care of me and scan me every week - all is well so far (despite bleeding which meant nothing - VERY confusing!)

What I wanted to know is at what rate does the average percentage of miscarriage possibilty decrease over the weeks..?

I realise that 12 weeks is a 'magical' milestone, but what are the risks at 10 weeks, and how does this decrease at 11 and 12 (and 13?) weeks.

I feel fine - very sick, very tired...

Thanks very much

Can't give you the figures you've asked for, but just wanted to wish you luck.

Thanks very much for your kind words.

I had my 10 week scan yesterday - and all is going well. The baby actually waved at us!! TINY hand!

Apparently. the first 12 weeks are all pretty crucial, and the percentage doesn't drop until week 12. However, it does drop dramatically - 1%!

Roll on 2 weeks!
