Low risk: The miscarriage risk after 12 weeks is less than 5%. It is even lower at 15 weeks. One early first trimester miscarriage does not increase your risk of a second trimester loss

Miscarriage: your risk of miscarriage goes down after the first trimester, so congratulations. However, there is never a time in pregnancy, or in life for that matter, that the risk of fetal death or death for all of us is zero. You have made it through the riskiest part. Now enjoy the rest of your pregnancy, get ready for that baby, buy clothes, diapers. Be happy mommy!
