Research into why miscarriage happens is the only way we can save lives and prevent future loss. This area of research is underfunded, with many taking an unhelpful (and unique to pregnancy) approach of ‘It was not meant to be’. We have information on the known causes of early, late and recurrent miscarriage here.īut too often health professionals are not able to tell women why they have had a miscarriage.
