Pregnancy loss: Why it happens

Although pregnancy loss can happen any time before 20 weeks, most take place in the first twelve weeks of pregnancy.

Most miscarriages cannot be prevented. It is nature's way of ending a pregnancy that is not developing as it should.

If you do experience pregnancy loss, there is almost never anything you could have done to prevent that particular pregnancy being lost. There is nothing you can do to hang on to a pregnancy that is destined to end in pregnancy loss.

However, we'd like to emphasise to you that most women who miscarry can conceive again and carry that pregnancy to term.
