Miscarriage
Sadly, many couples experience the heartbreak of losing a baby through miscarriage, with one in six pregnancies ending before week 20.
A small percentage of people will experience more than one consecutive miscarriage, and if you have three or more consecutive early pregnancy losses this is called recurrent miscarriage, and you should seek help from our panel fertility specialists from Virtus Fertility Centre Singapore to work out possible causes and minimise the risk of it happening again.
What Causes a Miscarriage?
Some causes of miscarriage include:
- Chromosome or genetic variations
- Uterine abnormalities
- Immune causes
- Blood clotting disorders
- Hormone imbalances
Age is also an important factor. After a woman has turned 43, there is a 50% chance a pregnancy will spontaneously miscarry.
