Activities that cause Early Pregnancy Loss

Are there certain activities that cause early pregnancy loss?

• In almost every case, miscarriage is not a woman’s fault.
• This is important to understand.
• Miscarriage usually is a random event.
• Working, exercising, stress, arguments, having sex, or having used birth control pills before getting pregnant do not cause miscarriage.
• Few medications can cause miscarriage.
• Morning sickness—the nausea and vomiting that is common in early pregnancy—also does not cause miscarriage.
• Some women who have had a miscarriage believe that it was caused by a recent fall, blow, fright, or stress. In most cases, this is not true.
• It may simply be that these things happened to occur around the same time and are fresh in the memory.
