What is Pregnancy Loss?

Pregnancy loss refers to the unexpected ending of a pregnancy. Most commonly this happens in the first trimester and is known as miscarriage. Later pregnancy losses, though less common, can also occur.

Miscarriage is common — affecting around 1 in 4 pregnancies — but this does not lessen its emotional impact. Every experience is unique, and every loss deeply felt.

Why Does Pregnancy Loss Happen?

There are many possible reasons for pregnancy loss, including:

Chromosomal abnormalities – most miscarriages are caused by problems with the embryo’s chromosomes.
Hormonal imbalances – such as low progesterone or thyroid problems.
Uterine or cervical conditions – fibroids, scar tissue, or an incompetent cervix.
Blood clotting disorders – including antiphospholipid syndrome.
Medical conditions – such as diabetes or autoimmune disorders.
Unexplained – in some cases, no clear reason can be found

After a pregnancy loss, our specialists can provide:

Detailed investigations – including blood tests, ultrasound scans, and genetic testing where appropriate.
Personalised treatment planning – addressing any identified issues.
Counselling and emotional support – professional support to help process grief and prepare for the future.

“Dr Bora was very clear and straightforward about our treatment options and chances of success. She listened carefully and took on board our thoughts and concerns, and was reassuring where appropriate. As somebody who was very anxious about IVF, I really appreciated that Dr Bora went out of her way to help me feel safe and supported. She is very knowledgeable and experienced and we couldn't trust her professional judgement more”

“We are immensely grateful for Dr Bora’s support and expertise throughout our journey. She is very professional, detailed in her approach, honest in her medical recommendation, and helped tailor a treatment plan that worked for us. Always seemed to make time, friendly, compassionate and felt that she genuinely cared.
Thank you for helping us build our family Dr Bora”

“The most valuable part of having Dr Shabana Bora as our doctor was the communication. Our history was complex and I was very anxious. I was able to email Dr Bora whenever I had a question, and her response was so quick, putting my mind at ease. I always valued her human approach and ability to break down information in a more realistic way. It always felt like she was in our corner, willing this to work for us."

"Kate has a wonderful bedside manner. She speaks to you as a person not a patient and doesn’t use medical jargon. She’s clear with her plans for you. I would highly recommend her as a doctor."
