I recently read in a book that came out in 1981 that researchers estimate that 10% of the pregnancies that last over 3 months are spontaneously aborted, and a large majority of those fetuses are deformed, usually very badly. The figure is probably fairly accurate since most women know that they are pregnant by the time they are three months pregnant, and know they are having a miscarriage when it happens. Researchers estimate that a much larger percentage of pregnancies are spontaneously aborted in the first three months of pregnancy, but the figure is difficult to support due to lack of evidence. Gary
