From the article:

The findings of the study of 120 pregnant women with an increased risk of miscarriage suggested that in almost half of the cases, women had high levels of these immune cells. This resulted in high oxygen level in the uterus during the early stage of the pregnancy, which is an unfavorable condition for implantation of the embryo.

Researchers have developed a medication that was aimed at regulating the immune response in pregnant women to lower the risk of miscarriage. The pill should be taken once a month for a three months period. Prednisolone drug contains a steroid that is often used in treatment of asthma and allergies. The only side effects revealed so far are the increased appetite and mood fluctuations.
