Patient's question:
Detailed medical history and consultation purpose: I gave birth to a baby in December 2005, but it was deformed. In March 2006, I became pregnant again, but due to threatened miscarriage, I had to undergo a D&C. In November 2006, I became pregnant once more, but it was another threatened miscarriage, and I had to undergo a D&C again. Please advise what kind of tests I should undergo if I become pregnant again.Doctor's answer:
Research shows that if pregnant women are exposed to harmful substances in the environment for a long time, the quality of the fertilized egg will be affected, and the risk of fetal developmental defects and miscarriage will increase. Therefore, women who want to become pregnant should try to avoid harmful environments and avoid contact with pesticides, radiation, lead, mercury, insecticides, etc. They should also avoid smoking and drinking to prevent any impact on the embryo. Some medications can also affect the fetus, so if you want to become pregnant during or shortly after taking medication, you should consult a gynecologist first to confirm that the recently used medication will not affect the fetus before becoming pregnant.
