Question : History of recurrent miscarriages. All MMC before 9 weeks. Currently 11w6d. Fetal heart rate was 180 at 9 weeks, and has been 180 ever since. (Self counting on Sonoline home doppler). Is there any chance this could be normal?

Brief Answer:
High chances of successful pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Recurrent miscarriages in early pregnancy can be due to many causes, the most common being chromosomal anomalies in the fetus. However, even after recurrent miscarriages, the chances of next successful pregnancy is around70-75%.
If you have crossed the period of miscarriage In current pregnancy and the fetal heart and growth is good by now, chances of successful pregnancy are high.
You should be prescribed folic acid, aspirin and progesterone support in form of tablets or injections to further promote the maintenance of pregnancy.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries .
Wishing you good health.
