    2. You can't cause or prevent a miscarriage
    3. Riding on a motorbike or bicycle, contracting illness-none of that will impact your pregnancy greatly.
    4. Miscarriages happen for genetic or other internal reasons. The exceptions are extreme situations e.g. traumatic accident/ drug abuse.
    5. The vast majority of women who miscarry go on to have healthy babies in future pregnancies.

    3. Even with very sophisticated tests, it's often not possible to diagnose the cause for a miscarriage.
