The cause of miscarriage isn't always known, what is known is that a miscarriage is very seldom caused by anything that the mother did wrong and there is seldom anything she could have done to prevent it.

Doctors believe that certain errors in the chromosomes (defects) of the developing baby lead to miscarriage. This is suspected to be the explanation behind the vast majority of first-trimester (early) miscarriages. Most women who have pregnancies affected by chromosomal abnormalities will go on to have normal pregnancies in the future.

Sometimes an undiagnosed health condition, such as Diabetes, hypothyroidism or celiac disease, in the mother can lead to a miscarriage. Usually detecting and treating the condition will lead to a normal future pregnancy.

Some types of infection, like the bacteria that causes food poisoning can cause a miscarriage or stillbirth. Infections generally pose a higher risk of pregnancy loss in the second or third trimester, but a few can cause problems in the first trimester.

It can be very hard to cope with having no answers for why a miscarriage occurred, and women often blame themselves. Talking with other women who have experienced pregnancy loss may be able to help you come to terms with your loss.

Although many women experience at least one interruption of pregnancy, often the specific cause is never known. Some of the conditions that can cause, or increase the risks of, miscarriages are:

  • Miscarriages are very commonly caused by defects in the fetus' genetic code. Sometimes the defects are bad enough to make life and further development impossible. This is what usually causes the very early term miscarriages.
  • The hormone levels that are necessary for pregnancy can be imbalanced. Sometimes it is because the fetus is not producing enough of his or her own hormone, or it can be that the mother's hormone levels are off. At around 10-12 weeks the placenta takes over from the ovary in producing the hormone to maintain the pregnancy and sometimes this changeover does not happen correctly or fully.
  • There may be physical problems with the mother's cervix, the most common is called "incompetent cervix". Incompetent cervix (in the late second trimester) may allow the cervix to dilate, causing a late miscarriage or a very premature labor. A small surgical procedure can sometimes be done to help fix this problem to allow the fetus time to develop appropriately.
  • Problems with the structure of the uterus (such as a T-shaped uterus), or fibroid cysts in the uterus can cause the pregnancy to fail.
  • Using cocaine, alcohol, smoking cigarettes, or other drug use can cause a higher chance of miscarrying a fetus. High caffeine intake may also contribute to miscarriages.
  • Exposure to dangerous toxic chemicals, such as benzene, arsenic, or formaldehyde, before or during pregnancy can be dangerous and cause abortion. High levels of mercury can contribute, however there is a myth that the mercury in your teeth fillings and Chewing Gum could cause loss of the pregnancy, which is incorrect. The mercury levels would need to be much greater than that amount to cause such an effect.
  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drug use (such as ibuprofen or naproxen) at the time of conception or during early pregnancy may have an effect.
  • A snakebite can cause a miscarriage.
  • There are medical conditions and disorders, such as poorly controlled chronic underlying diabetes; autoimmune diseases, like Lupus Erythematosus; and a blood-clotting disorder called antiphospholipid antibody syndrome as other examples of potential causes.
  • Or it can happen if there are certain bacterial or viral infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or other infections complicating the pregnancy. (see link below for a link to information about specific infections that seem associated with miscarriages)
  • There is a blood incompatibility problem that makes the mother's body have an "allergic response" to the fetus. When the Rh Factor of the mother's blood is different from the Rh Factor of the father, and if the fetus inherits the father's Rh positive condition, the mother's body doesn't recognize the fetal blood as something that belongs there and so it "attacks" like it is a foreign substance, this can cause damage to the fetus that causes a miscarriage.
  • Extreme trauma, such as from a violent auto accident, with direct and extremely hard blows to the mother's abdomen can cause damage to either the mother or the fetus and the pregnancy may abort as a result. The fetus is usually well protected from falls or other blows to the mother's abdomen, so it would normally only occur with extreme trauma.
  • When the mother's age is 35 and older, or the father's age is beyond age 35, there can be problems with genetics or other factors that contribute to higher risks of miscarriage.
  • A history of a pregnancy with a birth defect, or a history of recurrent miscarriages (three or more) makes one at much higher risk for additional losses. A history of miscarriages on the mother's side of the family can also be an indicator of potential problems.
  • Multiple birth pregnancies (i.e., twins, quads, etc. ) have a higher risk of miscarriages.

Factors that do not contribute to miscarriages, contrary to myth and "wives' tales":

No normal activities you do will cause a miscarriage, and when you have regular prenatal care and follow the Obstetrician's directions, you should not believe it is your fault if it happens. A miscarriage is nature's way of dealing with problems with the development of the fetus or with the mother's body's ability to support the pregnancy. When you think how complicated it all is, it is amazing that it goes right so often.

  • Miscarriages are not caused by the mother's emotional state, emotional distress, loss of a loved one, or sudden frightening experiences.
  • Sexual intercourse during pregnancy can not cause this type of problem.
  • Exercise, jogging, working, or moderately heavy lifting are not contributing factors.
  • A single diagnostic X-ray (or total radiation exposure of less than 5 rad) will not produce miscarriages (if you are worried about this or other diagnostic tests, discuss it with your radiologist or a health professional).
  • Falling or hitting the abdomen, unless very severetrauma as in auto accidents.
  • Dietary factors: there is no conclusive evidence that a diet moderately lacking in nutrients causes miscarriage. Also, the nausea and vomiting (morning sickness) of early pregnancy will not cause miscarriage.
  • There had been some concern that high folic acid (Vitamin B9) intake may have been a factor, but research has now shown that it may actually help prevent miscarriage.
  • Exposure to Computer Monitors, the use of electric blankets or heated water beds are not contributors to miscarriages.

More information:

Be aware that if it is going to happen, there is no real way to prevent a miscarriage from occurring without medical help. For this reason, it is very important to have prenatal care and regular check ups beginning as soon as you know you are pregnant.

You can have a miscarriage and not even know it, because, according to how far along you are and especially in the early part of a pregnancy, the embryo or fetus can pass through in what seems like just a heavy menstrual flow, sometimes with perhaps some clots.

If you have what seems like a miscarriage, even if in the earliest part of the pregnancy, it is important for you to see a medical professional right away due to the possibility of uncontrolled bleeding or fetal/placental tissue remains that need to be removed by a doctor.
Causes of miscarriage: fall, trauma, accident, oblighted ovum,ectopic, spontaneous abortion and so forth.

you can miss carry when you fall on the stomach.or when the unbelicord deatches from the the mother to the baby.sometime's they can't handle stuff like species or if the baby is sick and can't take it on what it has.that's how you can have a miscarriage

Common Miscarriage Myths by Pattie Hughes

"Sex causes miscarriage."

Sex alone does not cause miscarriage. The baby is very well cushioned inside your body and will not be hurt by sex. In some cases, you may be told to avoid sex. This happens if there is already a problem with the pregnancy. Sex will not cause a problem, unless a complication already exists.

"Too much exercise can cause miscarriage."

Many women avoid exercise during pregnancy out of fear the baby may be harmed. Exercise is actually very good for you and the baby. You should always ask your doctor about your particular routine and follow some safety rules, such as staying hydrated and not overdoing it. Again, if there are complications, you may be told to take it easy. But unless the pregnancy is already threatened, there is no harm in exercise.

"My negative thoughts caused the miscarriage."

This is a very common misconception among women who have lost a baby. If the pregnancy was unplanned or you didn't feel ready for a baby, you may blame yourself if something goes wrong. Not being happy about finding out you were pregnant will not cause a miscarriage. Guilt feelings later are not productive and only cause needless suffering.

"Stress will cause a miscarriage."

Stress doesn't cause miscarriages. Women often deal with stress during pregnancy. Even major stress, such as a death in the family or unemployment will not cause a miscarriage. Major trauma may contribute to preterm labor later in the pregnancy, but will not cause an early miscarriage. Typical stress or even major stress will not cause you to lose the baby.

"I didn't get enough nutrition."

Poor nutrition in early pregnancy will not cause a miscarriage. Before you know you are pregnant, the baby has very little nutritional needs. If your diet isn't the best, it will not cause a miscarriage. The baby takes what it needs from your body. Your nutrition will suffer, not the baby's.

"I picked up my toddler too much."

Lifting your children won't cause a miscarriage. Use care when lifting your other little ones to save your own back, not out of fear of harming the baby. Squat and use your leg muscles to lift. Even improper lifting won't hurt the baby.

A miscarriage is the spontaneous abortion of an unborn child prior to the 20th week of pregnancy. Causes for a miscarriage are numerous. Frequently, miscarriages occur before the 12th week of pregnancy, and about 20-30% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Some miscarriages occur so early that the pregnant woman may not even notice she has been pregnant. These tend to occur in the first two to three weeks of a pregnancy, and usually are due to the lack of the embryo to implant. In other cases, there is no embryo, and the resultant miscarriage is early, but is not the loss of child, though it may still be an emotionally difficult time for parents.

You cannot have a miscarriage just by working or having sex. Many people believe that they had a miscarriage but they had sex and that is not true.

Miscarriages can also be caused by genetic abnormalities so severe that life is not sustainable in utero. Failure for an embryo to form a functioning heart or brain due to genetic misfiring usually means fetal death. Often these abnormalities are not the result of known genetic causes in the parents. Conception and formation of a child is a hugely complex process from a genetic standpoint. Genes must come together, specialize and then dictate all the processes that will create a person. In some cases, genes make mistakes, and the result can be a miscarriage.

There are some genetic disorders that may be carried by both parents, or one parent recessively, which can cause severe malformations and miscarriages. When a woman has had more than two miscarriages, obstetricians will often refer the couple to a genetic counselor to rule out a genetic cause.

Another cause of miscarriage is malformation or scarring of the uterus, which results in the inability for the unborn child to properly grow. If more than one miscarriage has occurred, and there have been no full-term pregnancies, resulting in a live birth, the obstetrician may perform examinations like ultrasounds to see if the uterus is properly formed. In severe cases, this may be determined by a regular examination. Often, however, ultrasounds, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is needed to rule out uterine malformation, and may show a surgically correctable problem.

Some diseases may also cause miscarriage. Exposure to measles for a woman who is not immune can cause either miscarriages or severe malformation of an unborn child. Frequently, now, a woman who wants to get pregnant has her immunity tested to determine whether she needs to be re-vaccinated for measles. If a new vaccination is required, the woman may have to wait a few months before trying to get pregnant.

Chronic illnesses like diabetes and lupus have also been indicated in higher risk of miscarriage. Diabetes that is well controlled by medication carries a lower risk, but when the disease is uncontrolled the rate of both miscarriage and birth defects significantly escalates. Lupus, an autoimmune disorder, can create a situation where normal cells that control immunity do not distinguish between germs and the body's organs. This may cause the cells to attack the growing embryo, rendering it non-sustainable.

Further risk factors are smoking during pregnancy, using certain medications contraindicated during pregnancy, and use of illegal drugs. In most cases however, there is no identifiable cause, and women often feel mistakenly guilty for "causing" a miscarriage. Guilt is often worse because women experiencing a miscarriage are at the same risk for postpartum depression. as women who have had a complete pregnancy resulting in a healthy child. Both loss and guilt, however, are reasons enough to feel depressed and may be exacerbated by the loss of pregnancy hormones.

Since there are such a high number of miscarriages, a first miscarriage may not be cause for investigation, particularly if it takes place prior to the 12th week of pregnancy. Miscarriages taking place closer to the 20th week are more suspect, and an obstetrician may want to initiate testing to discover potential causes. More than two miscarriages usually call for investigation to help prevent future lost pregnancies.

Most of the time it's simply Mother Nature's way of aborting a child for one reason or another (such as not developing properly.) Sometimes a fall can cause a miscarriage earlier on in pregnancy or too much heavy work. There are too many other medical reasons to go into. The best person to talk to about this is your own doctor.

What is the chance of miscarriage if a healthy fetus is seen on an ultrasound at 10 weeks 3 days?

==Answer == Most miscarriges occur before twelve weeks. One of the most common causes of miscarriage is a blighted ovum, this is where the egg is fertilized but doesn't develop properly. In this instance there is never a fetal heart detected, so the fact that they have seen the heart is a good sign. There are many other factors to consider, such as if you have had a previous miscarriage, and how many. If you have a history of miscarrige, minimal physical activity, no sex, no medications other than those given by your doctor, etc. will increase your odds of carrying the fetus to term.


Iv just had your second misscarrige both times it was when you were 4weeks and 3days why im in your 20s will you ever have a baby long tearm?

For what it's worth - about 10 to 15 % of all pregnancies misscarry. Doctors are tought that if there are 3 miscarriges in a row, then there is a high risk; but it may just be a statistical fluke. Unless there is a known problem, you may have a normal pregnancy in the future.
