Miscarriage: some of the facts
Miscarriage is the commonest complication of pregnancy
In the UK 250,000 pregnancies miscarry every year
Three miscarriages or more is the clinical term for Recurrent Miscarriage
The Recurrent Miscarriage Clinic at St. Mary's Hospital receives 800 new referrals each year, the largest in the world
The clinic offers expertise in the management of women with early and late miscarriages and still birth
15-20% of recurrent miscarriage sufferers have Primary Antiphospholipid Syndrome (PAPS)
The chances of a live birth can increase from 10% to 80% with pioneering treatment funded by the clinic
Women with a history of recurrent miscarriage are at greater risk of medical problems in later life. By identifying them early the clinic can offer interventions to reduce their risk
As many as 50% of all recurrent miscarriages remain unexplained
CHARM is raising funds to undertake vital research into these miscarriages in order to reduce the suffering of couples trying to achieve a live birth
