[edit] Causes
Miscarriages can occur for many reasons, not all of which can be identified.


[edit] First trimester
Most miscarriages (more than three-quarters) occur during the first trimester.[9]

Chromosomal abnormalities are found in more than half of embryos miscarried in the first 13 weeks. A pregnancy with a genetic problem has a 95% chance of ending in miscarriage. Most chromosomal problems happen by chance, have nothing to do with the parents, and are unlikely to recur.[10] Genetic problems are more likely to occur with older parents; this may account for the higher miscarriage rates observed in older women.[11]

Another cause of early miscarriage may be progesterone deficiency. Women diagnosed with low progesterone levels in the second half of their menstrual cycle (luteal phase) may be prescribed progesterone supplements, to be taken for the first trimester of pregnancy.[10] However, no study has shown that general first-trimester progesterone supplements reduce the risk of miscarriage,[12] and even the identification of problems with the luteal phase as contributing to miscarriage has been questioned.[13]


[edit] Second trimester
Up to 15% of pregnancy losses in the second trimester may be due to uterine malformation, growths in the uterus (fibroids), or cervical problems.[10] These conditions may also contribute to premature birth.[9]

One study found that 19% of second trimester losses were caused by problems with the umbilical cord. Problems with the placenta may also account for a significant number of later-term miscarriages.[14]

Most miscarriages, particularly ones that occur early on in the pregnancy, happen because the embryo has genetic defects that prevent it from developing normally. Many women have these without ever knowing because they occur before the pregnancy is even known.

It's impossible to know the specific causes for any given miscarriage, however. Physical trauma to the mother can also cause miscarriage. Certain illegal drugs might increase the chance of miscarriage, but they're hardly ever (if ever) the woman's fault. The risks increase with age, and some women seem more at risk for miscarriage than others are, but no one knows why.

No, I went out and replaced into around loud music while i replaced into rpegnant too. that is great, yet once you commence feeling dizzy or get cramps/pains, sit down for a on an analogous time as till you sense greater useful and verify you're ingesting countless water once you're out and approximately! additionally, at 24 weeks pregnant it does not be a miscarriage. A miscarriage is often in the previous approximately 15 weeks. In yet another week your infant has a shot at residing if it have been to be born. yet yeah, in case you lost your infant on the gestation you're at it would be a nevertheless delivery. reliable success with something of your being pregnant and with the delivery! Parenting is countless exciting!

Anything and nothing. Most common are genetic abnormalities or the failure of the embryo to attach itself to the uterine wall properly. There's also some miscarriages that just happen - for no medical reason. (Some say it's a spiritual reason, but that's to each their own.)

Abnormalities with the fetus - it's not able to develop as there is something wrong with it - this is the most common cause - the fetus does not develop the ability to sustain life.

Poisoning by the mother (alcohol, tobacco, drugs etc)

Disease - if the mother gets sick her body will save her life over her baby's.

Trauma - injuries to the uterus.

I dont think there is any one explaination for miscarrying. Its just something that happens, it really sucks when it does but it still happens. I have had 5 miscarriages so I no how bad it hurts. I dont think anyone can really determine why it happens.
