Always hard to know: All the lab numbers aside, the fact that you have, at the time of the ultrasound, a small fetus with a heartbeat is promising. Regardless, that early on in a pregnancy, there is always the uncertainty of whether a pregnancy will continue forward normally - especially given the fact that there is a normal rate of miscarriage that is up to 30%. We always hold our breath through the early stages.
