Prevention

There is no way to predict or prevent a miscarriage. Certain steps can be taken, however, to give your pregnancy every chance to continue to term.

  • Get prenatal care and follow the advice of your health care provider (family doctor, obstetrician, midwife).
  • Avoid alcohol, nicotine, and street drugs, especially cocaine, during pregnancy.
  • Avoid or cut down on caffeine.

  • Control high blood pressure and diabetes.

  • Identify and treat any bacterial and certain viral infections.
