Miscarriage
If a pregnancy ends before the 24th week, it is known as a miscarriage
Miscarriages are quite common in the first three months of pregnancy - around one in five confirmed pregnancies ends this way and are often caused by problems with the foetus
Certain long-term health conditions in the mother, such as diabetes, high blood pressure or thyroid problems, can also increase the risk of a miscarriage
A later miscarriage may also be due to an infection, a poorly developed placenta or a weak cervix (neck of the womb) that opens too early in the pregnancy
