Most of the time, it is impossible to know why a miscarriage occurs, and it is important to
remember that even women who have had several miscarraiges can go on to have healthy
babies.
There are lots of reasons why miscarriages happen though the majority are attributed to
chromosomal defects in the foetus that are preventing the baby from developing normally.
Many miscarriages also occur through cervical abnormalities or problems with the uterus or
placenta, whilst others can be attributed to one of the following:
Hormonal problems: Women with an irregular cycle or hormonal defects may find it
more difficult to conceive and have an increased risk of miscarriage.
Infections: Illnesses such as rubella, measles or listeria can be linked to miscarriage.
Fibroids: Large fibroids (on or around your uterus) or a weak cervix can lead to a
miscarriage later on in pregnancy.
Cigarettes/alcohol/caffeine: Doctors agree that if you smoke, drink over the
recommended units of alcohol or consume too much caffeine, your risk of miscarriage
is increased.
Previous miscarriage: Research shows that women who have miscarried in the
past have an increased chance of it happening again. If you are pregnant after
suffering a miscarriage, your GP may want to keep a close eye on you and advise lots
of rest throughout the first trimester.
Hughes syndrome Hughes Syndrome is an autoimmune disease. It attacks the lining
of cells so it will attack anything in your body (you or food or anything else you put
in) it is the only disease that can cause venous and arterial thrombosis and it will
cause any other autoimmune disease. It is common with 1 in 500 people being at risk,
going up to 1 in 10 if you have a relative with it. Women with Hughes Syndrome have
less than 18% chance of carrying to term as the placenta is also attacked by the
immune system.
Ectopic Pregnancy This is where the egg settles outside the womb (usually the
fallopian tube.). The first symptoms are pain and vaginal bleeding, often accompanied
by dizziness and if you have these it is important you contact your GP immediatly (or
go to hospital) so that you have a scan to rule ectopic pregnancy out.
Blighted Ovum This occurs when the fertilised egg attaches itself to the wall of the
uterus, but the embryo does not develop.
Contrary to what many people believe, you don't have to be overweight or suffering from a
serious medical problem to be at risk - many miscarriages occur in healthy young women
without any identifiable cause. This can mean that women never get to the root of the
problem though many will go on to have happy, healthy pregnancies free from any problems.
Are there any other risk factors?
Your lifestyle can be a risk factor - especially if it's packed with bad foods, caffeine, alcohol
and nicotine. The best way to ensure a healthy pregnancy is to eat well and maintain a good
level of fitness so your body is fully prepared for pregnancy.
A woman's age is an important factor in conception and research shows that the risk of
miscarriage starts to increase after 30, and increases yet again when the woman reaches 35.
Chromosomal defects in babies are also more common in older women so your doctor may
advise amniocentesis to rule out abnormalities. This is a specialist technique mainly used on
older women with an increased risk of having a baby with downs syndrome or spina bifida
and involves a very fine hollow needle inserted into the abdominal wall to retrieve small
amounts of amniotic fluid. Although it's extremely effective at revealing any hidden
problems, there is around a 1% chance it will cause miscarriage (hence the reason why many
couples take a while to weigh up their options before agreeing to the test).
Recurrent miscarriages?
If you have experienced recurrent miscarriages (usually three or more), your GP may refer
you for some tests at your local hospital to find out exactly why it keeps happening.
Unfortunately these tests are not always conclusive which means you might be none the wiser
as to why the miscarriages are occurring. But on the bright side, if a problem can't be found it
might mean a better chance at a normal pregnancy next time.
