Patient's question:
At four months of the first pregnancy, it was discovered that the child had a heart defect. I had a cold during the second month of pregnancy. It has been a year now, and my antiphospholipid antibody level is 12, while my current level is 24. Can I prepare for pregnancy now?Doctor's answer:
It has been a year already, and you can start trying to conceive. It is recommended to take folic acid tablets during the pre-pregnancy period to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. During the pre-pregnancy period, pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, and always maintain a relaxed mood. Eliminate unhealthy psychological states, relax, and try to minimize visits to hospitals and public places. Avoid exposure to X-ray reflections, eat less puffed food, and consume more fruits, lean meat, milk, and eggs.
