hi your first miscarriage is known as a chemical miscarriage in the first 12 weeks. there are probably many reasons why a miscarriage may happen although the cause isn't usually identified. the majority aren't caused by anything the mother has done. it's thought most miscarriages are caused by abnormal chromosomes in the baby. chromosomes are genetic "building blocks" that guide the development of a baby. if a baby has too many or not enough chromosomes it won't develop properly. the majority of miscarriages can't be prevented. if a woman has suffered from more than three miscarriages some women can be helped to keep their pregnancy with medication under the care of a specialist. however there are some things you can do to reduce the risk of a miscarriage. avoid smoking drinking alcohol and using drugs while pregnant. being a healthy weight before getting pregnant eating a healthy diet and reducing your risk of infection can also help. most of what is above come via the uk’s nhs. i think in the time span you should be ok now. good luck
can a recent miscarraige affect nipt screening results? . i'm currently 13 1/2 weeks pregnant. about five months ago i lost a pregnancy at 7 weeks. due to my age i've been offered nipt screening. is it possible that the fetal cells from the baby i lost are still present in my blood and could affect the result of this test?
