Dear doctor i got a good child in my first pregnancy.he is now in 3rd year.after him, i have 3 terminations.first,in the 5th month because fetus has a cyst in its brain at the place of ventricle ,2nd in the 2nd month just it was an unconscious termination and 3rd in the 3rd month because of no cardiac activity. doctors advising me to take folic acid tablets.but I don t think that is the main reason. i am taking folic rich food.but at the early trimesters I was not in a good condition mentally because of family problems.is that the main reason or any other reasons are there? please give me the solution. and again how many months I have to take to plan for my another healthiest pregnancy.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.

As advised by your doctor you should continue to have folic acid supplement, even though you might be on food rich in folic acid, diet doesnot fulfill the daily foilc acid requirement during pregnancy.

You seem to feel anxious & stressout .This could cause a problem in further conception. So try to be relax & stress free. It is normal reaction to feel stress out in your situation after having gone through such stressful situation in life. So dont worry.

But there few things you can do to have another healthy pregnancy.

Be relaxed, try some meditation & relaxation technique. This will really help you.
Take your folic acid supplement regularly.
Reduce your weight if you are overweight.,this will improve your egg quality & also possibility of conceiving.
Have good sleep.
Think positive & have healthy eating habits.

Ideally you should wait for a period of 3 month from your last delievery before trying for next pregnancy. Let your body & mind recover from the stress it has undergone in recent past.

Wish you all the best & have a good health.
