Q: Second Trimester of Pregnancy Question

asked by: DoctorQuestion on January 9th, 2006

I just wanted to know how common is it to miscarry in the second trimester? I have had two ulta sounds done, one at 8 weeks and one at 12 weeks. Heartbeat was good and strong at those times.

I am suffering from real anxiety about losing my baby. I am today 14 weeks, one day.

Thanks

Second Trimester of Pregnancy Answer A132

Miscarriage occurs in 10-15% of all pregnancies. They happen more often in the first trimester and more rarely in the second trimester (2-3%). You didn’t tell my anything that makes me believe that you could miscarriage during your pregnancy, except that you are aware of an increasing anxiety. Don’t worry; just go to regular check-ups with your obstetrician.
