This is my second pregnancy, first ended in miscarriage at 6 weeks ..
With the first I never did get to see a heart beat.
With this pregnancy I’ve seen the heart beat 3 time!
Also I have a home fetal Doppler, and I listen to my babies heart every day since 9w4d.
I’m just really paranoid. I’m wondering if my chances of miscarriage have decreased at all?

As soon as you’ve seen the heartbeat the risk goes down massively. Try and relax. One miscarriage does not make you any more likely to have another. It sounds to me like your baby is growing just perfectly.
if you’ve heard the heart-beat the mc risk goes from 20% down to 5%
Relax dont worry yourself so much that can also bring on a miscarriage because your so early, just because youve had 1 miscarriage doesnt mean your doomed forever just enjoy it eat healthy dont too much
Once you’ve heard the heartbeat, the chance of miscarriage drops right down. The rate of miscarriage for 6-12 weeks is about 5%, but its lower than even that once you’ve heard the heartbeat.
Of all women who know they are pregnant, 10 to 20% miscarry. 80% before 12 weeks, and the longer a pregnancy the higher the chances of full term pregnancy.
It is suggested by research that by the time the heartbeat can be heard, the chance of miscarriage is reduced to about 5%. However there are other factors too so this is not a guarentee.
