What are ways you can have a miscarriage?

* Chromosomal abnormalities: These are errors in the number or structure of chromosomes, which are the structures in cells that carry genetic material. Chromosomal abnormalities can occur randomly, or they can be inherited from either parent.

* Uterine abnormalities: These are problems with the shape or structure of the uterus, which is the organ where a baby grows during pregnancy. Uterine abnormalities can make it difficult for a fertilized egg to implant or for a pregnancy to continue.

* Placental abruption: This is a condition in which the placenta separates from the wall of the uterus before the baby is born. Placental abruption can cause the baby to receive less oxygen and nutrients, which can lead to miscarriage.

* Premature rupture of membranes (PROM): This is a condition in which the amniotic sac breaks before the baby is born. PROM can cause the baby to be born too early, which can increase the risk of miscarriage.

* Infection: Some infections, such as rubella and cytomegalovirus (CMV), can cause miscarriage.

* Chronic health conditions: Certain chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and thyroid disease, can increase the risk of miscarriage.

* Lifestyle factors: Some lifestyle factors, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, and using illegal drugs, can increase the risk of miscarriage.
