Sleeping position during early and mid pregnancy does not affect risk of complications, and there’s no evidence whether one sleeping position is preferable over others.
No, sleeping positions cannot cause miscarriages. As you advance in your pregnancy, the baby gets bigger, it is recommended that you do NOT sleep on your belly. In genera it is most comfortable to sleep on your side.
No, sleeping positions cannot lead to miscarriage, later in pregnancy it can affect blood return and swelling as well as blood pressure, but only should be a worry if you note physical symptoms affecting you, the baby is still fine.
