Women who have had just one miscarriage are more likely to suffer complications in future pregnancies, research shows.The University of Aberdeen study is the first of its kind to assess the impact of an initial miscarriage on the next ongoing pregnancy.
The women were 3.3 times more likely to have pre-eclampsia and 1.5 times more likely to have a premature baby.
The authors said these women should be monitored as well as those who have recurrent miscarriages.
Previous work has focussed on the consequences of three or more miscarriages (recurrent miscarriage), although for most women, a single miscarriage is far more likely.
