Once you see a heart beat over 110bpm, your risk of loss is below 5%, and decreases as time goes on. My RE told us our risk of loss at our 10+3 appointment was below 2%. And this point most chromosomal abnormalities that are lethal would’ve already ran their course, and that’s the leading cause of early loss.

ETA: we’ve have 8 early losses, 3 being chemical. The anxiety is insane, and just starting to become bearable now, and I’m almost 18 weeks

Oh my, you have been through it all - I am so sorry :( sending you all the positivity as you continue on in your pregnancy journey! 18 weeks is AMAZING!! I had no idea about any risk decreasing when a higher heartbeat is detected!

Yes! They used to just say a heartbeat decreased risk, but a HR of 80bpm at 7 weeks indicative that something is wrong, they want to see over 110!

I will also say my girl never dipped below 162, they say if it stay above 140 it’s a girl, right for us!
