What Causes Recurring Miscarriages Due To Absence Of Foetal Heart Beat?

My babies heart beat stopped at 8 weeks. This is the second time this year. I am really sad and down. I don t want to go through this again. Can you please advice me how I should avoid it the 3rd time around if I am lucky enough to get pregnant. I did a D&C. What should I do for it not to happen again. Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Sorry to note about you problem about miscarriages again and again.
60% of miscarriages happen because of chromosomal abnormalities. Other causes include uterine abnormalities and cervical incompetence.
To prevent it further, take help from an Obstretician by getting the following tests done:
1. Karyotyping for chromosomal anomalies.
2. Blood for Anti-phospholipid antibodies
3. Ultra sound scan for uterine anomalies
But even with above tests, sometimes the exact cause may not be possible to detect.
If any abnormality is detected, a counselor can explain what the abnormality is and talk you about the chances of having a healthy pregnancy.
All the best.
