A member asked:

I'm 17 years old and i am anemic. i am pregnant and have gone to the doctor twice for ultrasounds, the doctor said i have a high chance of miscarriage. because i'm young does the chance of miscarriage increase?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Miscarriag is common: Any woman may have a miscarriage as a normal part of life. If a woman has recurrent miscarriages, there are some known causes (other than bad luck) such as genetic disorders (like a genetic abnormality), autoimmune causes (like anti-phospholipid syndrome), anatomic causes (like a malformed uterus), and environmental causes (like smoking). It's usually better to wait until age 20 to get pregnant.
