      Hello fishticks375lol, I had trouble answering this in one reply on the live chat! It is really really difficult to identify which women will be at risk of miscarriage in pregnancy (unless they’ve already had a previosu miscarriage) because reliable screening tests for every situation are not available. However, there can be many causes including hereditary, environmental, immunological….If you log on to the following website (ahem, having just answered a question about the reliability of internet-based information) you will get a fuller picture:
