Patient's question:
Doctor, I had four miscarriages before marriage. Now I am pregnant for over a month. Do I need to maintain the pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
It's still best to pay attention to pre-pregnancy preparation.1. Physical Preparation. As a woman of childbearing age, you should undergo pre-pregnancy check-ups and consultations at a regular hospital to see if your current physical condition is suitable for pregnancy and if it’s the best time to conceive.
2. Nutritional Preparation. You should take folic acid in small doses three months before pregnancy. This is mainly to reduce the risk of neural tube defects in the fetus.
3. Lifestyle Preparation. Both partners should start correcting unhealthy living and dietary habits six months before pregnancy. Avoid picky eating and strive for a varied and balanced diet. Eat more high-quality protein foods, vegetables, and fruits. Three months before pregnancy, avoid alcohol, coffee, and smoking. Also, be mindful of avoiding exposure to toxic substances and radiation sources. Quit smoking, drinking, and tea to prevent colds and other illnesses. Avoid spicy foods.
Additionally, choosing the right time to conceive when both partners are at their physical, mental, and intellectual peak is ideal. That’s the best way to go.
