The risk of miscarriage is not likely decreased by discontinuing SSRIs before pregnancy. [75] Some available data suggest that there is a small increased risk of miscarriage for women taking any antidepressant, [76] [77] though this risk becomes less statistically significant when excluding studies of poor quality. [74] [78]
Miscarriage risks are those circumstances, conditions, and substances that increase the risk of miscarriage. Some risks are modifiable and can be changed. Other risks cannot be modified and can't be changed. Risks can be firmly tied to miscarriages and others are still under investigation.
As many as 25 percent of pregnancies end in miscarriage. About 1 percent of women suffer from three or more in a row, which is the definition of a recurrent miscarriage.
In 2008, approximately one third ended in abortion, one third ended in spontaneous miscarriage, and one third continued their pregnancy and kept their baby. [28] The trend is decreasing. In 1990, the birth rate was 61.8, and the pregnancy rate 116.9 per thousand. This decline has manifested across all races.
The risk of pregnancy complications increases as the mother's age increases. Risks associated with childbearing over the age of 50 include an increased incidence of gestational diabetes, hypertension, delivery by caesarean section, miscarriage, preeclampsia, and placenta previa.

[3] [13] [7] [14] [11] Those who experience recurrent miscarriage (>3) have a greater risk of developing PTSD than those who have experienced miscarriage once. [3] An association between the gender of the infant lost through miscarriage exists whereby there is an increased chance of developing PTSD if the infant was a male.
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 ...
Generally selective reduction reduces the risk of preterm birth, leading to better outcomes for both mothers and the newborns. [12]It appears that reduction of triplets, where each triplet is in its own placenta, to twins results in a lower risk of preterm birth and does not increase the risk of miscarriage.
