Everyone says after the first tri your risk of a miscarriage goes down! I wanted to know if anyone had the statistical numbers of this 1 in 10,000 from 5 in 1500 or what the numbers are im curous what my risks are going down?

I'm not sure of actual numbers but I know it's a dramatic decrease!! Just relax, and don't think about stuff like that!!! :)

Here you go......


Week of gestation percentage likelihood of miscarriage

1-2 (you do not know you are pregnant)
75% (this includes eggs that never grow past fertilization, and it would have been impossible to know you were pregnant; after implantation, which occurs 7-10 days after ovulation, the odds go down to 31%)

3-6
10% (after home urine test is positive at 14 days post ovulation when hcg levels reach 50-80)

6-12
5% (or less if heartbeat heard)

2nd trimester
3% (considered stillbirth after 20 weeks)

3rd trimester
no longer considered miscarriage once fetus is beyond one pound (500 grams) around 24 weeks gestation. Stillbirth rate is 1%.

I dont know if theres a statistic you can try looking it up in "what to except when your expecting" they may have it... But if you worry for misscarriage thats why its always usually reccommended to tell others of your pregnancy when you hit your 2nd trimester... But yes you risk goes down massively!
