A member asked:

I heard baby's heart beat at 9 w 1 day .it was 173 bpm.i am 12 weeks today.wat are the chances of miscarriage after hearing a strong heart beat.

Very low: Although you could still have a miscarriage, hearing the heart beat at 9 weeks makes it very, very unlikely. It's in the range of 1 out of 100. You shouldn't be worried. Good luck!
