Spontaneous interruption of pregnancy called miscarriage. Medical synonym for miscarriage is spontaneous abortion.
About 15% of fertilized eggs are lost before the egg even has a chance to implant in the uterus wall. Women would not be able to identify this type of miscarriage. Another 15% of conceptions are lost before eight weeks' gestation. Once fetal heart function is detected in a given pregnancy, the chance of miscarriage is less than 5%.

* chromosomal abnormalities
* collagen vascular disease (such as lupus)
