    The most common cause of pregnancy loss is a random chromosome abnormality that occurs during fertilization. But there are many reason to which it can occur. Here are some things you can do to have a more healthy pregnancy.

    Maintain a proper diet loaded with folic acid and calcium.
    Exercise after you've gotten your doctor's OK.
    Maintain a healthy weight (women who are overweight or too thin are more likely to have miscarriages).
    Avoid drugs and alcohol.
    Avoid deli meats and soft cheeses such as feta and other foods that could carry listeriosis.
    Limit caffeine drinks to no more than 1 to 2 cups a day.
    If you smoke, quit.
    Talk to your doctor about all medications you're currently taking. Unless your doctor indicates otherwise, many prescription and over-the-counter medicines should be avoided during pregnancy.
    Avoid abdominal trauma. I started a miscarriage by hanging from a tree limb or vacuuming.
    Get immunized against communicable diseases and know your family medical and genetic history.
    Go to all of your scheduled prenatal appointments and discuss any concerns with your doctor.
    Call your doctor right away if you have fever, feel ill, notice decreased fetal movements, or are having bleeding, spotting, or cramping.

      I like your name!
      You gave good reassuring advice but didn't say anything about the chance of a miscarriage. I think you would get better ratings if you went to the trouble to write well. The informal tone with no punctuation can be difficult to understand. I'm giving you "average".
