A miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week. It is a common occurrence, affecting up to 20% of pregnancies. While some miscarriages are unavoidable, there are things you can do to reduce your risk.
The most important thing you can do is to take care of yourself during your pregnancy. This means eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and avoiding alcohol, tobacco, and drugs. You should also see your doctor regularly for prenatal care.
