Miscarriages and First Trimester
I know that the rate of miscarriage goes down significantly after the first tri.
Is there a table that shows the most common weeks or milestones during that trimester that you are more/less likely to miscarriage?

Re: Miscarriages and First Trimester
I know 8w and/or after you hear the HB it goes down significantly. I think I've seen a chart before... let me look.
Found this:

Carter Robert 7.18.08 | Brynn Sophia 5.24.10 | Reid Joseph 9.10.12 | Emerson Mae 1.27.14
Gah I shouldn't have looked. Just get me out of first tri:
Haha, I know, I think this is the worst part of pregnancy. I look forward to the aches and pains of 3rd tri over the anxiety of 1st tri.
My RE said the risk of miscarriage drops to 5% after you see the heartbeat. It drops again after the first trimester, but she didn't give me that info.

You are a crazy woman! I am enjoying this first tri as much as I can before I can't sleep at night because my hips hurt too much.
Ha, I know, I'm sure I'll be cursing myself later.
Holy crap I wish I hadn't just looked at that!
I'm at a 40% chance

My Blog My Chart
Oh no! I remember some nights just propping my pillows up so I didn't have to sleep on my side because I would seriously tear up with pain from my hips hurting. Or having to do like five movements to roll over. hahahahaha
Me too! I think I had this idea that the percentages were a lot higher. This eased my mind a bit.
For most normal, healthy women in their first pregnancy, the statistics look like this:
What about for women who already have one child and no prior losses?
Aah, the upside down beatle maneuver. I know it well.
LOL. What a great picture of such a sad state of being pregnant.
DH joked that he was going to buy me one of those hospital lifts to get me out of bed because he was tired of having to hoist me out.
Me, too! It made me feel better to know that I was down to only a 10% or less chance and that after I (hopefully) hear the heartbeat here in a few days that I will be down to only 5%.
2011: FSH 13.3 & E 99; AMH 0.54 2nd FSH 6.2 E 40's AFC: 8
BFP from Clomid/IUI ~ Pre-e and IUGR during pregnancy ~ DS born 9/4/12
Feb./March 2013: AMH less than 0.16 (undectable) and AFC = 4;
BFP from supps ~ DS#2 due May 2014
May 2014 January Siggy Challenge:
I agree. This chart was reassuring for me (down to 5% chance).
I think I may cave this pregnancy and get that maternity pillow that wraps all the way around you. I used a body pillow but ended up tucking pillows behind my back too.
This is what my doctor said when I was pregnant with DS. We're at a different practice now and I asked today after we saw the heartbeat and my new doctor said after 1st tri it goes down to 15%, but 15% after 1st tri seems high to me. I didn't think that two different doctors would have different of opinions/facts.
I found this on here:
Re: Why do miscarriages happen? Is there anything I can do to avoid it? How do I know if I'm at risk?
Unfortunately, there really is no way to prevent a first trimester miscarriage, and it is the most frustrating thing about obstetrics. But, after ultrasound confirms your baby?s heartbeat at eight weeks, the risk of miscarriage is only about 3%. The risk falls even lower (1%) after a normal ultrasound at 16 weeks. (Overall, from conception, about 10 to 15% of pregnancies end in miscarriage.) Most pregnancy losses are diagnosed in the first trimester when a patient experiences bleeding or cramping. Many women may have no symptoms that the pregnancy has stopped progressing until a routine ultrasound examination indicates no heartbeat.
Most miscarriages are caused by chromosomal abnormalities in the pregnancy resulting from an error during fertilization. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to avoid this. If you have experienced a single miscarriage, you are not at increased risk for miscarriage in a subsequent pregnancy. However, if you have experienced two or more consecutive miscarriages in the first trimester or one second trimester miscarriage, you are at higher risk for a miscarriage in the next pregnancy and should be evaluated for an underlying cause. Certain blood clotting disorders (otherwise known as thrombophilias), thyroid disease, lupus, or diabetes can increase your risk of having a miscarriage. An abnormality in the way your uterus has formed can also be associated with recurrent pregnancy loss, particularly after the first trimester. If you are concerned that you may be at high risk for recurrent miscarriages, you should discuss your concerns with your obstetrician.
