Getting Pregnant after a Miscarriage

What is a miscarriage?

A miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy that occurs before the 20th week of gestation.  A miscarriage can happen for many reasons, including:

  1. Problems with the baby’s chromosomes can contribute to 50% of losses.
  2. Women over the age of 40 years are at a higher risk of pregnancy loss.
  3. Problems with reproductive organs such as incompetent cervix, thin uterus lining, etc.
  4. Physical trauma such as falling, car accident, violence.
  5. Health conditions such as diabetes, high or extremely low body weight, high blood pressure, food poisoning, smoking, alcohol, and illegal drugs can increase the risk of a miscarriage.

Description

About 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, and most women are thankfully able to go on to have healthy future pregnancies.  Only about 1% of women will experience a repeated miscarriage.  The predicted risk of a 2nd miscarriage is no different from anybody else’s – and remains at about 1 in 4 pregnancies or 20%.  However, after 2 consecutive miscarriages the risk of another miscarriage increases to about 28%, and after 3 or more miscarriages, the risk of another miscarriage is about 43%.

A torrent of feelings can be experienced after a miscarriage: loss, sadness, guilt, anxiety, and even anger. All these emotions are normal and the grieving process following a miscarriage should not be rushed.  Deciding to conceive again after a miscarriage can be stressful and often a painful decision to make.  It is recommended that the parties wait until they feel emotionally and physically ready to proceed with another attempt at a pregnancy.
