About half of all early miscarriages happen because of a problem in the way your genetic material (chromosomes) combined when your egg and your partner's sperm has joined during fertilisation. You may never find out why this has happened, but it's more likely to be due to chance than to any underlying problem with either you or your partner.Imbalances in pregnancy hormones, problems with your immune system, and some infections such as listeriosis (Listeria infection) and malaria are also thought to make miscarriages more likely. Miscarriages become more common as you get older, because egg quality decreases with age. If you drink alcohol while you're pregnant, your risk of having a miscarriage is higher. It's also higher with multiple pregnancies, such as twins. Smoking may increase the risk of miscarriage, so you should stop smoking during pregnancy.There isn't enough evidence to show whether or not stress is a risk factor for miscarriage, but it's a good idea to take time during the day to relax.Doing moderate exercise or having sex whilst you're pregnant doesn't increase your risk of miscarriage.You're slightly less likely to have a miscarriage if you previously took the contraceptive pill.Often you won't know what has caused your miscarriage. If you have already started to miscarry there is very little that can be done to prevent it.

You can have a miscarriage with any pregnancy, first or not. Follow your doctor's advice on what to eat, drink, what activities to do and not do, etc. during your pregnancy, to give your baby the best chance of survival.
