Maintaining optimal health during pregnancy is key to reducing miscarriage risks. Research consistently shows that women with a healthy BMI—avoiding underweight or overweight—experience lower rates. Focus on balanced nutrition to support your body. Supplements like folic acid (vitamin B9) and iron can help; always consult your healthcare provider first. Active women should discuss safe exercise options with their doctor to stay fit without undue risk.
Many miscarriages stem from medications unsafe in pregnancy, including common ones like aspirin and NSAIDs. Never self-medicate—check with your doctor or pharmacist every time. Quit alcohol and tobacco immediately, as they dramatically heighten risks. Limit caffeine, especially from coffee, for added protection.
Certain miscarriages link to issues like low corpus luteum progesterone or uterine malformations. After prior losses, progesterone therapy may be prescribed. Uterine problems might require surgery. Work closely with your obstetrician for personalized evaluation and care.
