Besides stress what can go medicaly wrong that may cause a miscarriage?

Answer 1

So many things can cause or contribute to a miscarriage. Most of the time, miscarriages are caused by some type of fetal abnormality, where the fetus isn't developing properly. Many women, however, experience a miscarriage and then go on to have healthy pregnancies afterward. Miscarriages can also be caused by something going haywire in the mother's body, for example with the immune system or the uterus. Sometimes miscarriages even run in a family. Diet is also increasingly being looked at as a contributing factor to miscarriages. Most recently, caffeine consumption was linked to an increased risk for miscarriage as can certain over-the-counter herbal prepations. If you have had a miscarriage or if miscarriages run in your family, doctors can test to find out what may be the cause and take precautions for future pregnancies. Most of the time though miscarriages are an isolated event. Also, if you drink to much or something like smoke, it can cause miscarriages, underdevelopment, or deformation.
