How to handle it when discovering fetal hydrocephalus at five months of pregnancy

Patient's question:

I only found out about my fetus's hydrocephalus when I was five months pregnant and had to have an abortion. How long should I wait before getting pregnant again? What should I pay attention to when trying to conceive again? I'm desperate for expert advice.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is best to wait a year after a miscarriage before trying for another child. First, take folic acid for 3 months before getting pregnant, and then continue taking it until the third month of pregnancy. This can help prevent conditions like hydrocephalus and spina bifida.
Advice: After the surgery, avoid sexual activity and tub baths for 1 month. Use anti-inflammatory drugs like New Supernatural for 5-7 days, get adequate rest, and engage in appropriate exercise. If the bleeding duration is less than 10 days, it is best to go to the hospital for a follow-up check.
Preventing diseases starts with a regular sleep schedule, avoiding staying up late and late nights, and ensuring sufficient sleep time. Next, maintaining a habit of exercise is important. Finally, attention should be paid to daily dietary habits. As long as these three points are well-maintained, recurrence can be avoided.
