In 2005, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical medicine carried out a research for the Miscarriage Association and came up with some factors that may increase or decrease the risk of miscarriage. I would like to start by sharing the factors that reduce the risk of miscarriage because I’m sure that is more like what you would want to read about first (I know I would!).
These don’t mean you won’t miscarry but it just means you are less likely to.
· Pregnancy history – if the pregnancy was planned and your last pregnancy ended in a live birth of a baby. Women who experience nausea (i.e. morning sickness) are also less likely to miscarry.
· Emotional state – if you are happy and relaxed.
· Diet – if you take your recommended vitamins (especially folic acid) and have a diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy products (milk, cheese, etc) and ... chocolate!
· If you continue to have sexual intercourse as long as there is no bleeding.
Well I guess what the scientists have proven is that, for a successful pregnancy think happy thoughts and bring on the chocolate!
