I married 14 December 2008. We tried to get pregnancy for her in November 2009. In December 2009 She got pregnancy. We had consulted a Gynaecologist to check pregnancy. It is +ve. Then Doctor prescribed folic acid for everyday.

We took one Ultra Sound Scanning, but the result is the pregnancy is failed due to some cromosomal defects. (Wombs heartbeat is stucked).

Two weeks take for clear her uterus (Doesn't required D&C). Automatically cleaned in Feb 2010.

Doctor adviced that only get pregnancy again after 3 months. Now already completed 5 months.

We would like to get pregnancy again in September. So I want to know what is PRECAUTION or PRE-ARRANGEMENTS to be taken from both sides.

(1) Is it better eat folic acid for me before conceiving?

(2) Any blood test required for both?

(3) Any other tests required?

(4) Any food changes or new habbits requried?

Please help me briefly, I need helpful replies from all part of the world. because i am afraid lost pregnancy again. Doctor said this happened some cromosomal defects.

    Your wife had a miscarriage which is very common. Being related does not help matters but there is nothing you can do about it now. If you ever have influence over such matters in future, do not encourage people (kidfs, nieces, nephews etc) to marry somebody who is related to them.

    Your wife should start taking folic acid as well as a multivitamin right away and eat healthy. If you drink or smoke, it would be advisable to stop it. When you your wife is pregnant again, you could ask the doctor to monitor her progesterone (it is a hormone) level. If it is low, supplements can be prescribed by the doctor.

    Good luck!

    If the miscarriage has happened due to a chromosomal effect then I'm unsure what can be done to prevent a miscarriage again. It is very early for the doctor to have been able to tell this about the fetus so maybe it is something that he assumes due to the blood relation as she is your blood cousin.

    She should be taking folic acid while she is TTC and an improved diet for both of you will help you to concieve and a healthy diet during pregnancy will help.

    Miscarriage happens to many many woman who then go on to have a perfectly normal pregnancy next time. I have a 2yr old and had a miscarriage in January and I am now 22 weeks pregnant so it can and does happen.

    Sending you lots of luck and baby dust and I gope that you have a healthy happy baby together soon. xxx

    1. Folic acid should be taken 3 months before conception, so starting it now would be great.

    2. They usually dont take blood tests unless there is an issue with falling pregnant or more than 3 miscarriages.

    3. Eating a range of healthy vegetables and fruit along with a healthy diet is always a great preconception advantage.

    4. With chromosomal abnormalities there may need to be testing to source of why this has occurred and if it will occur in the future, that's an issue to discuss with your dr.

    Good luck.

    The reason your baby did not survive is because you are related and that causes deformities in offspring. If you were not related, then folic acid and eating healthy will help, but you will always have deformed babies. If this is serious, I think it is illegal because at least in the states you cannot marry your cousin. I also live in Japan and it is illegal here too. This is because of the risk you are giving your children, so I beg you, DO NOT REPRODUCE! It is called imbreeding for a reason and it is very selfish and wrong.

    I lost a infant on a similar time. Our healthcare expert suggested it grew to become into okay to attempt returned after 6 weeks. We did in basic terms that and have been given pregnant returned interior of two months. I took prenatal supplements, yet did no longer do the rest extra desirable. sturdy success and that i'm very sorry to your loss.

    don't bother my friend.

    it won't happen again.

    it might be due to fetus formed at an inappropriate time.

    because you know, the sperm lives for only 24 hours and

    the ovum lives for only 48 hours.

    so it might be due to fetus formed when one of the cell (sperm/ovum)

    is about to die. so it is not powerful enough to produce good fetus.

    so don't worry. next time make sure that you should do sex continuously

    during the ovulation period (middle period between menses) without break.

    i also suffered this and succeeded later.

    best wishes,

    a caring Asian.
