A new research study has shown that the more miscarriages or abortions a woman has, the greater are her chances of giving birth to a child that is underweight or premature in the future.
Women who had had one, two, or three or more miscarriages or abortions in the past were almost three, five, and 9 times as likely to give birth to an underweight child as those without previous miscarriages or abortions.
They also found that women who had one miscarriage or abortion were 67% more likely to have a premature birth, while those who had had three or more were over three times as likely to do so compared with those with no history of miscarriage or abortion.
