How to avoid chromosomal abnormalities during pregnancy?
Im 33 and just found out im pregnant, and honestly thoda scared after reading about chromosomal issues with age. Want to know what i can do to keep baby healthy. Pls share if u went through this.
I know how terrifying this thought can be, especially after going through IVF where we worry about every single cell. While we can't 'prevent' it naturally, tests like PGT during IVF or NIPT scans during normal pregnancy help us know the baby's health early on. Sending you strength.
I panicked so much before my NT scan thinking about chromosomal abnormalities! But my doctor reassured me that these tests are just for screening and most babies are perfectly healthy. Trust your doctor and try to stay calm.
It's so hard to deal with anxiety when you are already throwing up all day. Just make sure you take your prenatal vitamins and don't skip your 12-week scan (NT scan). It gives a lot of peace of mind.
Honestly, we can't completely control genetics, otherwise I would have programmed my baby to sleep 12 hours straight haha! Just take your folic acid regularly and do all the scans your doctor prescribes.
We cannot prevent chromosomal issues completely, but taking folic acid before conceiving helps a lot. My doctor made me do the double marker test in my first trimester just to be safe. Do consult your gynac about these screenings.
Haan na, genetic things are not in our hands, but we can do our best. Doctor prescribed folic acid and regular scans are very important. Tension mat lo, just follow your gynac's advice.
These are purely genetic and cannot be changed by diet or home remedies. Please speak to your gynac clearly about early screening tests like the dual marker or NIPT to understand your baby's health safely.
