Several studies have examined the impact of stress on a pregnancy - both chronic stress, such as workload, and acute stress associated with traumatic events like the 9/11 terrorist attacks. They concluded that stress could lead to adverse birth outcomes, including miscarriage and premature birth.

In a HBO documentary, Beyonce recalls how motherhood gave her immense joy. She feels that her cup of joy is overflowing after the birth of her daughter, Blue Ivy. On the same breath, she recalls how her earlier pregnancy that resulted in a miscarriage gave her so much pain.

APS is characterised by the production of antibodies directed at phospholipids, the main components of cell membranes. While in low risk pregnancies, APS is linked with a nine-fold increase in miscarriage; there is a 90 percent risk of miscarriage associated with APS in case of high-risk pregnancies (women who have had at least three prior losses)....]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/Statins-may-Help-to-Prevent-Miscarriages-42833-1.htm http://www.medindia.net/news/Statins-Could-Prevent-Miscarriages-in-Women-Suffering-from-Autoimmune-Syndrome-42817-1.htm Statins could prevent miscarriages in women suffering from pregnancy complications caused by antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), according to a study in mice.
