When there is no physical trauma that could have caused a miscarriage, it was the actions of the body. When the body detects some form of deformity within the child the body will terminate the pregnancy. This is why parents who would give birth to a baby with down syndrome usually experience a miscarriage before the child can be born.
Losing a child is a grievous time, but in a way, it is for the best, and is easier to deal with than watching a child go through years of pain and distress. Which would crush a mother more?

Most miscarriages occur because of an abnormality in the development of the baby. It does not make a miscarriage any easier to go through, but your friend can rest assured that she did nothing to cause the miscarriage. Below is a link to The Mayo Clinic website with good information concerning miscarriage.

a wide % of the time that is a genetic default with the embryo. maximum medical doctors received't speculate on what motives it. sure, the excuses you listed can be a reason, yet quite a few women those who do those, do provide beginning to a residing toddler-so that you won't be able to assert having a unmarried cigarette or having a tumbler of wine will make you miscarry, because it received't-purely up your danger by a fragment. 20% of all pregnancies bring about miscarriage through organic motives-different motives comprise, trauma to the uterus (automobile twist of destiny, fall, so on.), the order of progression doesn't take position, which incorporates the placenta is fallacious and doesn't commence operating, a subchorianic bleed contained in the uterus, ext. The list is going on and on, there's no human being ingredient that would want to reason a miscarriage.

What causes miscarriage?
Most miscarriages occur because the fetus isn't developing normally. Problems with the baby's genes or chromosomes are typically the result of errors that occur by chance as the embryo divides and grows — not problems inherited from the parents.
In a few cases, a mother's health condition — such as uncontrolled diabetes, thyroid disease, infections, blood-clotting problems, or problems with the uterus or cervix — may lead to miscarriage.
Routine activities — such as exercising, having sex, working or lifting heavy objects — can't provoke a miscarriage. Nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy, even if it's severe, won't cause a miscarriage. And a fall or other injury is unlikely to cause a miscarriage, unless the injury is serious enough to threaten your own life.
What increases the risk of miscarriage?
Various circumstances increase the risk of miscarriage, including:
Age. Women older than age 35 have a higher risk of miscarriage than do younger women. Paternal age also may play a role. In a 2006 study, women whose partners were age 40 or older had a higher risk of miscarriage than did women whose partners were younger than age 25.
Previous miscarriages. The risk of miscarriage is higher in women with a history of two or more previous miscarriages. After one miscarriage, your risk of miscarriage is the same as that of a woman who's never had a miscarriage.
Chronic conditions. Women with certain chronic conditions, such as diabetes or thyroid disease, have a higher risk of miscarriage.
Uterine or cervical problems. Certain uterine abnormalities or a weak or unusually short cervix may increase the risk of miscarriage.
Smoking, alcohol and illicit drugs. Women who smoke or drink alcohol during pregnancy have a greater risk of miscarriage than do nonsmokers and women who avoid alcohol during pregnancy. Illicit drug use also increases the risk of miscarriage.
Caffeine. The evidence linking caffeine consumption and miscarriage is inconclusive. Because of the unknowns, your doctor may recommend limiting caffeine intake to less than 200 milligrams a day.
Invasive prenatal tests. Some prenatal genetic tests, such as chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis, carry a slight risk of miscarriage

A miscarriage is sometimes an egg that fails to attach to the uterus lining, or a malformed egg-- she didn't do anything wrong and stress does not cause a miscarriage.

There are so many possible reasons... I will name a few though. It could be the baby had something wrong with it, or bad genes, something wrong with the mother's health, malnutrition of the mother or the mother doing drugs. Those are just a few possibilities.

There are different reasons, and usually they aren't known, unless miscarriage becomes a pattern for a woman. It is estimated that half of all fertilized eggs don't become viable pregnancies.

Well there are many ways to have a miscarrage!! One way is Disfunction of the Unterus!! Say that you were pregnant and you just so happened to get raped then. While you are getting raped the disfunction of the uterus is starting!! And another way is just being unhealthy. If you are sick than it is very possible to have a misscarrage. You just have to pray that the Lord will have your baby to be healthy and well. Oh, and tell your friend to keep her head up no matter what life throws her. And that the Lord does things for a reason, so he would not just make her have a miscarrage for no reason. Maybe she wasn't ready yet!!! I don't know!!! Make sure you tell her that!! OK!! Bye!!
Love, Kiki

Ultimately all of the above answers could be correct, but I know one reason for sure because that was God's plan. I truly believe in the old saying "what is meant to be will be", and I think that for whatever reason he may have God knew what he was doing. You may not understand it now and you may not ever understand it but these things are in his plan.
