Miscarriage - Losing a Baby Before 24 Weeks of Pregnancy

Losing a baby before 24 weeks of pregnancy is known a miscarriage. Most miscarriages occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy and affect up to 1 in 5 confirmed pregnancies. It is also suspected that many more women miscarry in the very early weeks of pregnancy before they have even realised they were pregnant.

Many women experience a miscarriage and unfortunately, in most cases, there is no way to prevent a miscarriage occuring once it appears to be happening. However, of those women who do suffer a miscarriage, many go on to successfully carry babies in subsequent pregnancies.

It is widely believed that many first-time pregnancies result in miscarriage and that the reason may be that the human body has a trial run before ending the pregnancy. The second time around this appears to be less common and the pregnancy is more likely to continue.
