Hi. I had a misscarriage with my 1st
pregnancy. At 3 months my doctor told me
my baby stopped growing at 4 weeks and had
no heart beat so I had to get a d and c.
I am now around 5 weeks preg. and was
wondering since I dont have much morning
sickness, like my last pregnancy, is there
a larger chance I will misscarry
again?

Early Pregnancy Signs and Symptoms Answer A2221 Posted: 01-29-07 06:52am
Morning sickness is often present during
the early stages of a pregnancy. Morning
sickeness is a is very subjective symptom
and can not be considered proof of a
normal pregnancy. HCG levels in the blood
are considered reliable parameters for
evaluating the early stages of pregnancy.
During a normal pregnancy , the level of
HCG in the blood doubles every 2 days. If
the HCG-level does not increase by at
least 60% once every 2 days, there is a
risk for miscarriage.
