Seeing your Ob-Gyn once you're ready to start trying for a baby is one of the easiest ways to prevent a miscarriage. Your doctor can screen you for any sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as syphilis, gonorrhea and herpes, which, untreated, can increase your miscarriage risk, even if you don't have any symptoms. You can also discuss your health history, family history and have prenatal genetic testing (if you choose to) so you and your doctor can be on the alert for any possible complications or risk factors, such as a clotting disorder or a uterine abnormality.
