This is not very common so not tested in every case. But in certain cases where miscarriage is found to be repeated or multiple times then test for this is taken.

2.     Intake of excessive caffeine

This is what people think to be most common reason of miscarriage. There are no direct explanation to this but it is found that who take more caffeine have more miscarriages. It is believed that it passes the lining of placenta and cause harm to baby and pregnancy. This may also lead to other abnormalities as it effects developing cells.

As we all know these are harmful for a normal human too and these are very dangerous for a pregnancy. Those who consume alcohol, are on very high chances of having abnormalities or miscarriage. In some cases confusion is there, if they had some alcohol before knowing about their pregnancy. It is fine. You can go for normal regular test during pregnancy to find if any abnormalities are there. But for sure if you are confirm about your pregnancy once, you must avoid alcohol, cigarette etc.

These type of complexities need regular medical care for its treatment. In such cases one may have many miscarriages if original problem is not fixed yet. Even late miscarriages are found in such cases as these cervices may be able to held fetus in but on becoming big and heavy fetus do not get enough support.
These cases are noticed much later when a women undergoes several miscarriages. And only treatment for this is surgery where an additional support can be given to cervices. And in case of uterine septum surgery is required.

These both are hormone related. Women who are suffering with these problem must take doctors consultation and medicine before planning their pregnancy. Actually due to these environment in uterus remains no favorable for fetus and it becomes hard to survive.

6.     Poly cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

This problem occurs only with those, who do not have regular menstrual cycle and ovulation. This is presence of more male hormone. In such cases when women do not have diabetes history, insulin production is restricted by this problem. And again it causes to not making proper lining for pregnancy.

7.     Bacterial Infections

These bacteria avoid proper lining development inside uterus. Proper treatment can avoid miscarriage caused by these. These may be known to women before pregnancy, in such cases proper treatment should be taken earlier.
