Miscarriage Risk
Miscarriage is defined as pregnancy loss before 20 weeks of gestation. Most miscarriages occur in the first trimester, and risk decreases as pregnancy progresses. Factors such as maternal age, BMI, ethnicity, previous pregnancy loss, smoking, alcohol intake, and supplement use can influence the likelihood of miscarriage. While most miscarriages are due to factors beyond control, understanding your risk can help guide lifestyle choices and discussions with healthcare providers.
