chance of miscarriage after 15 weeks?

hi

im currently 15 weeks and 2 days pregnant, i lost a baby in February but i was only just over 5 weeks gone, anyway im wondering what the chance is of loosing this baby after 15 weeks? im renting a fetal heart doppler for my own reassurance, im just so paranoid still even though im past 12 weeks.

Can a fetal heart monitor be used on dogs?

If so how early can a fetal hearbeat be picked up? What is the best way to position it on the dog to pick up a fetal heartbeat, and what should the heart rate be? It is a digital fetal doppler.
Not my dog. She is only 25 days or so since the breeding and they are not going to do an ultrasound, just an XRay if she looks to have taken. I thought it would be fun to see if we can pick up a heartbeat.

Hi- Im 11 weeks preg with first. Just a worried mother….already…Curious…if the baby has a healthy heartbeat and doesn’t grow, or measures at a different week, what does this mean??
I have my next ultrasound in 1 week and Im just nervous! I want healthy growing baby!

I have a fetal doppler and I listen to my baby’s fast little heartbeat a lot and so I know its about 140-165 according to the doppler. I’m just worried because i can’t can weight, and still skinny. not showing NOT AT ALL not even a tiny pouch bulge- stomach is completely flat. Just worried that baby stopped growing, but still has a heartbeat. Possible?

this is my second pregnancy in 7 yrs ..also i dont feel the baby alllllllllll the time i guess thats also normal i have a fetal doppler and iam able to hear the babys heartbeat everyday i just hope baby is growing well….hb has been between 140’s and 160’s

Home Birth:do you need to monitor the baby?

Like i went on a pregnancy check list site and I found the following listed::
Fetoscope
Doppler
Intermittent external fetal monitoring
Intermittent internal fetal monitoring

You don’t need to have one of those when doing home birth right?
Or do i have to pay for one of those or have the birthing assistant have one of those?
What are those like though? I won’t let the mid-wife do anything really with needles or seeing or touching me,she can touch the baby when his head sort of comes out but still, I won’t let her touch the my vagina or bitch me out or see my pussy.
I mean touch my pussy or my boobs,doctors seem to like to argue with me about this,ever since i was 6 they would question me. :O
I’m not worried i just believe it is between a man and a woman to see the vagina or even really touch it or insert things.
Maybe he should be the one doing all the work. He is kind of worried to do that though but his mom is a nurse though for that stuff.
Whats an OB?

this is my second pregnancy too ..but its been 7 yrs..iam overweight a little most my weight is in my belly too have belly fat…sometimes my belly is hard i guess depending on the bab ys position??? i do have a fetal doppler and hear the babys heart beat everyday..i just hope its growing ok…heart beat is always 150-155 ..cant wait for my ultrasound on thursday to find out what iam having i just hope i go in and everything is going well…

i do have a fetal doppler and am able to hear babys heartbeat so i guess everything is going well … anyone else having this issue or worry?
its also my 2nd pregnancy …in 7 yrs

How good is sonoline pocket fetal doppler?

My husband picked this up in the store today for like . I just want to know for the most part how good it is. Seeing as how I am in my 17th week of pregnancy.
Actually I was able to hear a heart-beat it was 135. Just wanted to know for the most part how reliable it was, was all.

well so my doctor seems to think im pregnant again my blood test result the other day showed my hcg level 38 i took a clear blue test yesterday it said pregnant 1-2weeks which makes me around 3-4 weeks ..

i have had two missed miscarriages both one after the other had d&c most recent was 3rd of june that’s why i got confused wether i was pregnant again..

anyway well so of course i told my hubby im pregnant again but he just doesn’t want to talk about it until after 12 weeks.. i can understand but what he doesn’t seem to understand is i need someone to talk about my worries and fears & he just doesn’t want to listen .. but he is happy about it he even said this time around we were going to buy a fetal doppler and monitor the heart rate at 8+ weeks . as i seemed to lose my babies between week 9 & 10

but my question is i don’t want to go to the doctor for checks up until im 12 weeks is this alright to do ? since they only give you a scan and tell you come back at 12 weeks anyway ..

i have been pregnant 5 times & have 3 children so im quiet aware on what not to do & to take prenatal vitamins etc so would i be alright in doing this ( not seeing the doctor for awhile ) to be honest i just don’t want a scan & it tell me my baby is dead again ..

Of course, I immediately used it because I was so excited. I used it for around 2 minutes before I finally found a heartbeat which was between 170-175bpm. Sometimes it would go back down to 70-80bpm which I’m pretty sure it was my heartbeat. So the question is, is 170-175bpm a good heartbeat for a baby?

I’m 10 weeks today in case you need to know.

Today I am 15 and a half weeks and at my OB appointment today the doctor couldn’t find the fetal heartbeat using the doppler :(. I have an emergency ultrasound booked for Wed now to make sure there is still a heartbeat but I’m very scared. She said it may be nothing as I am underweight (only 100 pounds) and have still been throwing up a lot as of last night.

Everything was fine and normal when I had my ultrasound done at 14 weeks and she said I shouldn’t be too worried as I have not bled or spotted or anything. She said she could not distinguish if there was another heartbeat next to the sound of mine, she thinks it may have been behind an area she was checking a lot.

Do you think I have anything to worry about? Or could my baby still be ok? I am only 21 years old and this is my first pregnancy. Help.. I’m really scared. </3 :(

My 12 week checkup is coming on Monday! They are not doing an ultrasound just going to listen with the doppler. WIll they be able to hear a heatbeat with the doppler at 12 weeks? I can’t remember them using the doppler with my frist at 12 week but they probably did. I dont know! Im a little nervous they wont find it and I will be left wondering if everything is ok. ….

baby question…?

Hi, right now im 30 weeks pregnant and i have a nice at home fetal doppler but while listening sometimes my babys heart rate will slow way down, but then speed right back up…it sounds so scary. I talked to my doctor about it and he said baby’s can hold onto their umbilical cords and almost make themselves pass out….He said she was normal and I shouldnt worry. I also had a pretty thorough u/s at 28 weeks at a technicians office so they could find my placenta…but they also checked her over as well….they measured her and said she was completely fine….anyways my question is has this happened to anyone else..have you ever heard your babys heart rate decelerate….?

Should I be worried.
I have a pressure feeling inside of my vagina…
I dont have to pee…
My fetal doppler picked up the heart beat sounds normal…
should i be worried?
