1. Incorrect. Miscarriage is a natural pregnancy loss, but it occurs, by definition, before 20 weeks of gestation, before the fetus is viable.
2. Incorrect. Miscarriages occur in approximately 15 of all clinically recognized pregnan-cies.
3. Incorrect. Miscarriage can be caused by a number of disorders or illnesses outside the mother's control or knowledge.
4. Correct. Before the 6th week the only evidence might be a heavy menstrual flow. After the 12th week, more severe pain similar to that of labor is likely.
