Risk factors include advanced maternal age, infections, trauma, certain medications or chemicals, and untreated medical conditions like diabetes. Treatment may include bed rest, avoiding sexual intercourse, and treating any underlying conditions increasing miscarriage risk. Maintaining a healthy pregnancy involves not drinking, smoking, or using drugs; minimizing caffeine; avoiding toxic exposures; treating infections promptly; taking vitamins; and exercising regularly.
