Patient's question:
Colleague is 35 years old this year. At that time, she had an abortion when she was three months pregnant. How long after the abortion did she take folic acid to prepare for pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is better to conceive six months after a miscarriage. Three months before and after conception, folic acid can be taken orally to effectively prevent fetal malformations. It is recommended to start taking folic acid three months after a miscarriage and wait until six months before conceiving again, which is beneficial for the baby's health. At the same time, spicy and irritating foods should be avoided, and a light diet should be maintained. During pregnancy preparation, smoking and drinking should be avoided, and no medications should be taken. Wishing you good health.
