⁣
Most miscarriages occur because the fetus isn’t developing normally. About 50% of miscarriages are associated with an extra or missing chromosome. These issues often result from errors that occur by chance as the embryo divides and not problems inherited from the parents.⁣
⁣
In additional to chromosomal issues there are risk factors that can increase your risk of miscarriage:⁣
⁣
Age – Women older than 35 have a higher risk of miscarriage than younger women.⁣
Previous miscarriages – Women who have had 2 or more consecutive miscarriages are a higher risk.⁣
Chronic conditions – Women who have chronic conditions can have a higher risk.⁣
Uterine or cervical problems – Certain uterine abnormalities or a weak cervical tissue might increase miscarriage risk.⁣
Smoking, alcohol, or illicit drugs – Women who smoke during pregnancy have a greater risk of miscarriage than nonsmokers. Heavy alcohol users and illicit drugs also increase the risk.⁣
Weight – Being underweight or overweight has been linked to an increased risk of miscarriage.⁣
⁣
Even with these statistics, it doesn’t make miscarriage any easier. Understanding and taking steps to help reduce your risk and meeting with a doctor who can help you through the process is key.
