Hi,
Well u have a history of consangiounous marriage means" marriage amongst first degree relatives.
That might be cause of problems in first baby.
Well u can plan but will need to do a triple marker test in 12-14 weeks to find out other genetic abnormalities.
A detailed 4 scan and targeted scan of second baby might be helpful. Consult ur gynaec for evaluation of ur patient for pre pregnancy evaluation.
High doses of frolic acid will also be require prepregnancy and in first trimester.
