If you see a heartbeat after 7 weeks what are the chances of having miscarage?

According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the risk of miscarriage after seeing a heartbeat at 7 weeks is about 5%. This means that 95% of women who see a heartbeat at 7 weeks will go on to have a successful pregnancy.

However, it is important to note that this risk is just an average. The actual risk of miscarriage for any individual woman may be higher or lower than 5%, depending on her individual circumstances. Some factors that can increase the risk of miscarriage include:

* Advanced maternal age

* History of previous miscarriages

* Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes or thyroid disease

* Smoking

* Alcohol use

* Drug use

If you are concerned about your risk of miscarriage, talk to your doctor. They can help you assess your individual risk and provide you with support and guidance during your pregnancy.
