A London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine team looked at 600 women who had

miscarried and 6,000 whose pregnancies continued past 12 weeks.An estimated one in five pregnancies in the UK will end in miscarriage, affecting around 250,000 women in the UK every year.’While we still don’t have all the answers, these findings are going to help women who want to reduce their risk of losing a baby in pregnancy” Said Miscarriage Association spokeswoman.Underweight women were 72% more likely to miscarry in the first trimester, research found.”It is likely that advice to encourage a healthy diet and to try and reduce stress and promote emotional well-being might help women in early pregnancy, or those planning a pregnancy, reduce their risk of miscarriage.”Said Noreen Maconochie, a senior lecturer in epidemiology and medical statistics.
