Researchers on path to help reduce numbers of miscarriages
With half of miscarriages being unexplained, many women say they never got an answer as to what happened. The research being led by Cork University Maternity Hospital aims to give couples greater clarity on their hopes for a future full-term pregnancy.
Although one in four pregnancies ends in the first trimester (within 12 weeks), many women and their partners do not expect miscarriage to happen to them, says Professor Keelin O'Donoghue, consultant obstetrician at Cork University Maternity Hospital (CUMH).
