Miscarriage & Loss: Miscarriage Signs

I'm 13 weeks pregnant. I've had two miscarriages before and I am worried because my symptoms (morning sickness, tender breasts, etc.) seem to have disappeared.

The good news is that the morning sickness does usually improve about this time. If your ultrasound has shown a heartbeat, then the chances of miscarrying are less than 2 percent. I have had patients who are understandably anxious because they have experienced miscarriages and I have had them come in more frequently to check for the baby's heartbeat. Sore breasts are generally a feature of the first trimester.

If you are very concerned, give your doctor a call so that he or she can check the baby's heartbeat with the Doppler (a small microphone).
