I heard that women who are not even aware of being pregnant drunk alcohol, smoked, drank loads of caffiene, took medication etc, but can still manage to give birth to a healthy baby. what actually causes miscarriages? what does caffiene have to do with it anyway, it's not like it's alcohol! One more question: what effect does it actually have on a baby if the mother does, drink alcohol, smoked etc while pregnant (but of course there is a chance the baby could still be healthy)? Ta.

Most of the time it is not known what causes a miscarriage. As for drinking alcohol, there is a very high risk that the baby could have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome or other problems. Other problems could include developmental delays, learning disabilities, emotional difficulties etc. (Even if a baby appears healthy at birth). As for smoking, my experience has been that the babies are fussy and cranky (think how you would feel if you stopped smoking cold turkey!). Besides, why would you chance your baby's health?

I think that there is just something wrong at the time of conception
I've had 3 miscarraiges and one stillborn,
With my m/c's I never had any pregnancy signs-I wasn't being sick and with the 1st one I was 2 months gone before I found out I was pregnant,
I think that the hormones weren't strong enough to sustain the pregnancy.
I didn't feel pregnant with any of them.
I've also had 3 live children and with them I've been sick as a dog for the first 4 months.
I don't drink or smoke when I'm pregnant,
But I still lost my baby at 39 weeks due to a placental abruption

quite often there is a serious problem with development and the pregnancy aborts itself so i guess there is no real reasons just one of those awful things

its said that it is because there is something wrong with the baby and your body knows it already so it tries to save you from worse pain so you have a miscarriage
the healthier the mother is the healthier the unborn baby can be
