Miscarriage Awareness
Miscarriage is the loss of pregnancy before 20 weeks of pregnancy, according to March of Dimes. "It's estimated that between 10 to 20 in 100 known pregnancies (10 to 20 percent) end in miscarriage."
The Types
March of Dimes states that there are multiple types of miscarriage. Threatened miscarriage, incomplete miscarriage, complete miscarriage, asymptomatic miscarriage, and repeat miscarriages.
While we don't know what causes every type of miscarriage, it is believed there are several factors that may contribute. Problems with chromosomes, infections, and problems with the uterus or cervix can all cause miscarriage.
Risk Factors
There are wide range of risk factors for miscarriage. These include, but are not limited to:
Being 35 or older
Exposure to harmful chemicals
Drinking, smoking, or using drugs
Having two or more miscarriages in the past
Autoimmune disorders
Preexisting conditions such as diabetes or hypertension
Certain diseases such as kidney or heart disease
