Most are fetal : Most early miscarriages are caused by abnormalies of the fetus. These happen in the process of combining your genetic material with that of the father. These are unlikely to recur but each pregnancy has a risk of about 20-25%. See your ob/gyn of you have more than 3.

Abnormal fetus: If an abnormal fetus develops due to a one-time genetic mistake it usually results in a miscarriage. The chance of recurrent miscarriage is very low, with most women subsequently having a normal pregnancy. Factors that increase the risk of miscarriage include> age over 35, smoking, alcohol, obesity, diabetes and substance abuse. *Smoking 15 cigarettes/day doubles the risk>http://bit.ly/1F8L9bf
