Patient's question:
I had my first blood test during my prenatal check-up last week, which included many things. The four teratogenic tests showed that one, toxoplasmosis, came back as "suspicious," while the others were negative. When the doctor reviewed the results, they said to just leave it for now, as it didn't seem too important. But I'm very worried because I have a baby on the way. My previous home had cats, and we also had dogs. I've heard that toxoplasmosis can cause fetal malformations. However, I had an ultrasound last week, and the doctor said the fetus appeared normal. I asked the doctor about the toxoplasmosis result, and only then did they say that if I wanted to feel more at ease, I could go to the genetics department to have amniotic fluid and umbilical cord tests to check if the fetus is infected with toxoplasmosis. But one of my classmates who assists in deliveries said that if the ultrasound is normal,Doctor's answer:
Hello! This is not affected. If you want to get pregnant, it is recommended to take 0.4 milligrams of folic acid supplement (the brand name is "Sulian") daily during the three months before pregnancy and the three months after pregnancy to prevent most neural tube defects in the fetus.
