Among healthy women of childbearing age about 20 percent of all pregnancies end in miscarriages, and most happen before 10 weeks and are due to either genetic abnormalities in the fetus or unknown causes.
Your risk for miscarrying goes down with each subsequent week you are pregnant and is virtually zero percent by the end of the first trimester (12 weeks).
Any miscarriage that happens after that (a "late miscarriage") would be due to an existing problem the mother already had like a disease or infection or chronic reproductive problem (like incompetent cervix), or from a procedure done during the pregnancy (i.e. amniocentesis or maternal surgery).

Miscarriage is the most common type of pregnancy loss, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Studies reveal that anywhere from 10-25% of all clinically recognized pregnancies will end in miscarriage. Chemical pregnancies may account for 50-75% of all miscarriages. This occurs when a pregnancy is lost shortly after implantation, resulting in bleeding that occurs around the time of her expected period. The woman may not realize that she conceived when she experiences a chemical pregnancy.

Its more common in first time pregnancies. 30% (3 of every 10) first time pregnancies end in miscarriage before the first 3 months of pregnancy.
