Patient's question:
Preparing to have a child in just these next three or four days, my wife and I have been training at the hair salon non-stop for a whole day, and I've been smoking. But we really want a little piglet. Can we get it directly? I heard there are some medications that can prevent birth defects. Should we take them early on or after getting pregnant? If we choose to have a little piglet, what should we do if we can't quit smoking and rest in time?Doctor's answer:
If you are planning to have a baby, your partner should start taking folic acid three months before conception to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. Since you have already started taking folic acid, you should also try to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle. Avoid drinking beer and smoking, ensure adequate deep sleep, don't overwork, and always keep a cheerful mood—this will help you conceive a healthy baby. It's best for your partner to first visit a gynecological clinic in a regular hospital for a physical check-up.
