Causes of miscarriages

Miscarriages often have no clear cause. Although factors such as smoking, previous miscarriages, and age can increase the risk, chromosomal abnormalities in the baby are often the most common cause. In rare cases, an abnormality of the uterus can lead to a miscarriage. It is important to understand that miscarriages usually cannot be prevented. Intensive physical activity, sex, stress and travel are generally not proven causes of miscarriage.

Course of a miscarriage

During a miscarriage, cramps in the lower abdomen often occur. You may see tissue during blood loss; this can be the embryo and sometimes also the placenta. If the miscarriage does not start on its own, medication may be considered to start the process. If you have doubts about a possible miscarriage, repeating a pregnancy test is usually pointless. The test remains positive even if the pregnancy does not go well.
