May 8, 2013 at 18:57 comment added WYSIWYG @AndroidPenguin.. The two papers in the answer suggest that the probabilities are not uniform.. It seems so that the aneuploidy prone chromosomes are relatively smaller..
May 8, 2013 at 17:29 comment added AndroidPenguin This is the answer. They all happen with similar frequency, however most are lethal. The less lethal the more common, hence trisomy 21 or Downs being fairly common; however most trisomy 21 foetuses do die before getting to the second trimester.
May 8, 2013 at 17:11 comment added shigeta this is still quite a likely explanation - there is very little or no data for pregnancies that terminate before the foetus is smaller than a pea. Almost all extra chromosomes for instance come from sperms and ova formation and they may simply not compete for fertilization.

add frequency data.
May 8, 2013 at 15:58 comment added WYSIWYG there is some statistics in the link that you provided.. it doesn't actually say that other aneuploidies were reported in stillbirths or spontaneous abortions
