Hello,

The standing and the physical nature of the work would have no influence on your prior miscarriage.  However, the chemical exposures you note may be of concern.  Find all of the chemicals you are exposed to and the nature of the exposure (for example, inhaled or skin exposure) and discuss this issue with your physician before you begin attempts at conception.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing

30% of all pregnancies result in miscarriage.  It is very commonand usually not a concern.  It is not until you have had three miscarriages in a row that they will start giving tests to see if there is a possible cause other than bad luck (I just completed these tests). I would say it is highly unlikely this is the cause, but i would let your dr know you are trying to get pregnant and you are in a chemical environment for his suggestions early on anyway.
