As per the studies, the difference in weights, be it underweight or overweight, can have a high chance of miscarriages. 15 to 20 percent of women have faced it. Underweight (having a Body Mass Index score of less than 18.5), overweight (having BMI between 25 and 30) and obese (having BMI above 30).

Dr Bonnie Ng, the author of the study, stated in the report, "Our study included sixteen studies and showed that being underweight or overweight significantly increases the risk of two consecutive pregnancy losses. For those with BMI greater than 25 and 30, their risk of suffering further miscarriage increases by 20 per cent and 70 per cent, respectively."

There are few components, including caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco, that might also affect pregnancy, but there's no proof.

Dr George Cherian, the co-author, said, "While our study did not find any associations between recurrent pregnancy loss and lifestyle parameters such as smoking, alcohol and caffeine intake, further large-scale studies are required to clarify this."

Till any further studies can state what can be done and what not, let's stick to maintain a proper healthy lifestyle.
