Miscarriage is the most common complication of early pregnancy. [19] Among women who know they are pregnant, the miscarriage rate is roughly 10% to 20%, while rates among all fertilisation is around 30% to 50%. [1] [7] In those under the age of 35, the risk is about 10% while in those over the age of 40, the risk is about 45%. [1]
Cervical weakness may cause miscarriage or preterm birth during the second and third trimesters. It has been estimated that cervical insufficiency complicates about 1% of pregnancies, and that it is a cause in about 8% of women with second trimester recurrent miscarriages .
Recurrent miscarriage in itself is associated with later development of coronary artery disease with an odds ratio of approximately 2, [50] increased risk of ovarian cancer, [51] increased risk of cardiovascular complications, [52] and an increased risk of all-cause mortality of 44%, 86%, and 150% for women with a history of 1, 2, or 3 ...
