(Chromosomes are parts of a cell that carry a person’s genes.) This is usually a one-time event that does not repeat itself in a woman’s next pregnancy.2 Many miscarriages have no known cause. After the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, or when the fetal heartbeat is seen on ultrasound, miscarriage risk drops significantly.3 Risk factors that may increase chances of a miscarriage include: Increasing age, especially at age 35 and older.A history of two or more miscarriages.4Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use (such as ibuprofen or naproxen) at the time of conception or during early pregnancy.5 Alcohol or drug use during pregnancy. Cigarette smoking during pregnancy. Exposure to dangerous chemicals, such as benzene, arsenic, or formaldehyde, before or during pregnancy. Heavy caffeine use during pregnancy. Certain gynecological problems, such as uterine fibroids or other abnormalities of the uterus.Disease or infection during pregnancy, including an autoimmune disease. Physical trauma. An immunologic cause—a woman’s immune system rejects the pregnancy—which is a factor in a small number of miscarriages. Recent research suggests that low folic acid levels may also increase the risk of miscarriage.6It is unusual for a woman to have three or more miscarriages. Repeat miscarriages can be caused by an underlying medical problem. Known causes of repeat miscarriage include polycystic ovary syndrome, a blood-clotting disorder called antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, an abnormal uterus, and a chromosome abnormality in either parent.After a miscarriage, am I at risk for miscarrying again?Miscarriage is usually a chance event, not a sign of an ongoing reproductive problem. If you have had one miscarriage, your chances for future successful pregnancies are good. Less than 1% of women have three or more miscarriages in a row (called recurrent miscarriages).8If you have had three or more miscarriages, talk to your health professional about testing and treatment for a possible underlying causeRisk factors for miscarriageFactors that may increase your risk of miscarriage include:Increasing age , especially at age 35 and older. A history of recurrent miscarriage (three or more).Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use (such as ibuprofen or naproxen) at the time of conception or during early pregnancy.5 Alcohol use during pregnancy.3Cigarette smoking during pregnancy.9Cocaine use during pregnancy.9Exposure to dangerous chemicals, such as benzene, arsenic, or formaldehyde, before or during pregnancy. Heavy caffeine use during pregnancy.Other risk factors include having:A history of miscarriages on your mother’s side of the family. Polycystic ovary syndrome, which can cause ovulation problems, obesity, increased male hormone levels, and an increased risk of diabetes.A poorly controlled ongoing disease (such as diabetes or an autoimmune disease).Certain bacterial or viral infections during pregnancy. A blood-clotting disorder such as antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.Problems with the structure of the uterus (such as a T-shaped uterus). Between 12% and 15% of women who have recurrent miscarriages have problems with the structure of the uterus.3A history of pregnancy with a birth defect. A physical injury.A chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis to test for birth defects or genetic problems. (CVS has a slightly higher risk of miscarriage [1 in 100] than amniocentesis [1 in 200].)10There are also known factors that do not increase the risk of miscarriage, such as exposure to computer monitors or electric blankets, sexual intercourse, and exercise.Coping with a miscarriageIt is normal to go through a grieving process after a miscarriage, regardless of the length of your pregnancy. Guilt, anxiety, and sadness are common and normal reactions after a miscarriage. It is also normal to want to know why a miscarriage has happened. However, in most cases a miscarriage is a natural event that could not have been prevented.To help you and your family cope with your loss, consider meeting with a support group, reading about the experiences of other mothers, and talking to friends or a counselor or member of the clergy. For more information, see the topic Grief and Grieving.Your local bookstore or library may have books on coping with miscarriage. Also, your health professional will be able to address your questions and concerns about the miscarriage.The intensity and duration of the grief varies from woman to woman, but most women find that they can return to the daily demands of life in a fairly short time. It is important to call your health professional if you have symptoms of depression that last for more than 2 weeks.15 The loss and the hormonal swings that result from a miscarriage can cause symptoms like postpartum depression. A healthy, full-term pregnancy is possible for most women who have had a miscarriage, and even after having repeated miscarriages. If you want to become pregnant again, check with your doctor or nurse-midwife. Most health professionals recommend waiting until you have had at least one normal menstrual period before attempting to become pregnant after a miscarriage.I know i don’t know where you live but i know a wonderful doctor that helps women get pregnantDr. Richard Levin http://www.babies-by-levin.com

What causes miscarriages?

Q: I am writing a story and in the story I wan’t my lady to have a miscarriage. I was wondering if there could be any possible physical incidents that can happen to an 6-8 month pregnant women that could cause her to have a miscarriage. My original idea was that a really heavy wooden door was slammed into her stomach, but I’m not sure if that would do anything. So are there any other scenarios?Thank YouBy the way this may be irrelevant or even sound stupid but I want everyone to know that I’m writing this in a serious matter and not making a joke out of it, and I’m not trying to be rude.And if you do get it by a heavy door in the stomach doesn’t the stomach start to bleed and does it hurt, and how long after?If you are going to judge my choice to have a women in my book have a miscarriage in my STORY then please keep those comments to yourself. That’s the reason why I put my comment above ^^.By the way I’m ONLY 16. So why in the world would I WANT on purpose in real life to do that to someone. When I’ve experienced it happening to someone in my family. So stop being so judgmental.

A: The thing is, anything can happen during a pregnancy. If someone is really upset at an event (like her husband cheating on her and she finds out) the yelling and the anger can cause the miscarriage. Too much stress, drinking, getting really sick with a fever sometimes, various diseases, a blow to the stomach, car accident, hit by someone. Even something very mild could cause it if you’re not strong enough. Something like pressurizing your stomach sometimes have caused miscarriages. Poor diet and drugs can or cannot cause miscarriages, however they will most likely than not cause a baby to have a defect after giving birth. Falling down the stairs. I don’t think that constipation can cause it after the 1st trimester but I’m not too sure. Being pushed hard into a pool and lack of oxygen can also cause pressure into giving you contractions and ultimately causing you to have a miscarriage.As for the heavy door, I think that it depends on how hard it was hit and that will contribute to how long it will hurt. If a woman bleeds while pregnant, it’s a bad sign usually and a sign of weakness in her body. So if she bleeds especially during the last 3-4 months, you should send her to the hospital immediately. I hope this helps. And good luck with your book! *CheerZ*
