Every now and then reassurance is good

" After heartbeat is detected, risk of miscarriage is 9.4% at 6wks; 4.2% at 7wks; 1.5% at 8wks; 0.5% at 9wks"

10 weeks is when a lot of the major organs are forming and if there are any chromosome abnormalities, you are more likely to miscarry this week. It's a major growing week per my OB. Ugh the worry never ends!

I think it goes up at 10 weeks because the sample size is actually quite small and its just a bit of 'noise' in the resilts.
