Patient's question:
I am 24 years old and have had one history of induced abortion. During my second pregnancy, at 3 months, an ultrasound revealed that the embryo had stopped developing at just 2 months. Subsequently, I had examinations of my uterus and ovaries, and my husband had a semen analysis. Additionally, both of our blood types are within the normal range (except for immune factors, which were not checked). Two months after the induced abortion, I became pregnant again, and I am very nervous. Could you please advise what I should pay attention to? By the way, during my last pregnancy at 2 months, I ate two crabs. I wonder if it had any impact?Doctor's answer:
After a missed miscarriage, it is recommended to wait for at least six months before attempting to conceive again. Pregnant women are particularly prone to miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy and must pay close attention. They should avoid lifting heavy objects or engaging in strenuous exercise, and minimize the frequency of going out. Overexertion should be avoided, and adequate rest is essential. Sufficient sleep is necessary, and sexual activity should be controlled. If feeling extremely fatigued, bathing should be avoided, and early bed rest is recommended. It is crucial to correct poor eating habits and consume foods rich in folic acid regularly and in moderation, such as spinach, milk, animal liver, potatoes, fruits, and tomatoes.
