Things That Cause Miscarriage Pregnancy

Although every pregnant woman has a risk of miscarriage, but the risk will be greater — to someone who has such tendencies are described below:

The problem of uterus or cervical: 

Specific disorder of the uterus, uterine conditions are severe (Ribbon scarring), or a weak cervix or not normal (known as cervical insufficiency) is an opportunity for a miscarriage. The relationship between fibroids uterus and miscarriage remains controversial, but most fibroids don't cause problems.

Chronic illness: 

Diabetes is not controlled and certain inherited blood disorders, autoimmune disorders (such as antifosfolipid's syndrome or lupus), and hormonal disorders (such as polycystic ovarian syndrome) is a condition that can increase the risk of miscarriage.

Age: 

A woman with an older age at risk contains a baby with chromosome abnormalities and likely to miscarriage. Pregnant at age 40 years at risk of miscarriage doubled over a 20-year-old woman.

A history of miscarriage: 

Women who have two or more a history of miscarriages in a row are more likely than other women to miscarry again.

A history of birth defects or genetic problems: 

If you, your spouse, or your family members have genetic disorders, genetic problems have been identified in previous pregnancies, or ever gave birth to children with birth defects, you would risk higher for miscarriage in pregnancy.

Environmental toxins: 

Another factor that can cause someone at risk of a miscarriage is poison in the environment. Some chemicals such as formaldehyde, benzene and ethylene oxide, and large doses of radiation or gas anesthesia is considered dangerous.

Smoking, drinking alcohol and using drugs: 

Smoking, drinking alcohol and using drugs such as cocaine and MDMA (Ecstasy) during pregnancy can increase the risk of miscarriage. Some research suggests a connection between high levels of caffeine consumption and increased risk of miscarriage.

Drugs: 

Several drugs that if consumed could increase the risk of miscarriage. Important for you to ask for an explanation to the doctor if given some medicine to drink while pregnant. This also applies to prescription drugs, including drugs nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and aspirin.

Infection: 

Studies have shown that the highest risk for a miscarriage if you have listeria, mumps, measles, rubella, cytomegalovirus, parvovirus, premenstrual syndrome, HIV, and certain other infections.

Diagnostic Procedures: 

There is a small possibility of the risk of miscarriage after chorionic villus sampling (diagnosis performed on the placenta tissue) and amniocentesis (a diagnostic examinations using amniotic fluid, to find out possible abnormalities in the fetus).

Risk of miscarriage will also be higher if you get pregnant again within three months after delivery.

Obesity: 

Some studies show a connection between obesity and miscarriage.

Paternal Factors: 

Conditions also contribute to the risk of miscarriage. Researchers are studying the extent to which sperm can be damaged by environmental toxins but still allows it to fertilize the egg. Some studies have found a greater risk to miscarry when dads have been exposed to mercury, lead, and some industrial chemicals and pesticides.
