Q: my mum has had alot of miscarriages, like 6.does this mean that i am more likely to mis-carry?is so, what could i do to prevent it?

A: A lot of early miscarriages are due to genetic issues with the baby (i.e. an extra chromosome or a whole set of extra chromosomes) that means that the baby could not survive if it was born (i.e. it is non viable). Some of the causes of chromosome abnormalities are genetic (such as if you inherit an abnormality from your parents and when you get pregnant something further goes wrong then miscarriage happens). Sometimes miscarriage can be a result of poor food hygiene and things like literia which are found in products from the deli department or toxoplasma which is found in some pork and animal faeces can lead to miscarriage and thus are not linked to any genetic factors but to environmental factors.Some other miscarriages are just because something goes wrong in the formation of the baby when the egg and sperm meet or shortly later.So although there is a slight possibility that your chances are increased of miscarriage there isn’t actually anything that you can do about it except look after yourself and avoid foods that you are supposed to early in pregnancy.All the best and I hope that this helps
