A miscarriage is classified as an involuntary abortion, it is actually termed "spontaneous abortion" by health care professionals. It is the loss of a baby usually before the 20th week of pregnancy, with most miscarriages occurring in the first trimester. I.e. the first 12 weeks, that's why parents breath a sigh of relief and feel its safe to tell people about the pregnancy after that time. Miscarriage rates for true first time pregnancies are very high, fair higher than most people would believe and could be related to the fact that a women's immune system has not yet learned how to help her carry a baby.

You need to know that miscarriages are considered to be an common phenomenon. It is said that this situation would happen to one in four pregnancies. However, you can't say that miscarriage is a sign of an unsuccessful pregnancy because it happens when the unborn baby has some serious genetic problems, which has nothing to do with the mother at all.

Non-intentional miscarriages have many causes. One cause of a miscarriage can be the incompatibility of the mother's blood and the blood of the unborn fetus. Incompatibility in blood type with the mother and fetus is known as Rh factor incompatibility. This type of miscarriage can occur when the mother's blood type is Rh negative and the fetus's blood type is Rh positive. To expand, everyone has specific proteins on every cell in his or her body that tells the body that cell belongs to the body and is not foreign so that our immune system will not kill that cell.

The most common factor attributed to causing a pregnancy miscarriage is chromosomal abnormalities of the developing child. It could be due to genetic defects of the fetus caused by faulty egg and/or sperm. The lifestyle of the expectant mother during her pre-pregnancy days as well as during pregnancy period may also play a major role. Smoking, drug/alcohol abuse and exposure to hazardous materials can increase the risk of pregnancy miscarriage in women. Hormonal imbalances, health issues such as infections, diabetes, immune disorders, problems of the uterus or ovaries etc. can also cause pregnancy miscarriages.

Make sure you eat lots of fresh raw organic fruits and vegetables as much as possible and drink at least 6-8 glasses of water a day. Your urine should always be clear, if not then you are dehydrated. Water helps with many important processes of the body including waste removal and reproduction. It's important is often overlooked during pregnancy.

However, many women suffering multiple miscarriages are just told that there is no answer. At least not one that does not include expensive surgeries, drugs with side effects or, in general painful and time-consuming procedures. That is, if you have insurance! If you do not, then your options are extremely limited. What if there were a way to significantly improve your chances of solving your problem with multiple miscarriages? Would it be worth your time and effort? Most women would say yes.
