I'm thinking about pregnancy and want to be prepared. What are some common causes of anomalies or birth defects in pregnancy, and how can they be prevented?
Often it's just random genetics or environmental factors that we can't control! 🌸 Just focus on eating well, taking your prenatal vitamins, and attending all your checkups regularly. Stay positive! ✨
Anomalies can be genetic, due to maternal infections, or environmental exposure. Please ensure you take your folic acid supplements on time and go for the double marker and NT scans. Your doctor is the best person to guide you on this.
This is a very sensitive topic and can happen due to genetic factors or environmental issues. Please make sure to get all your anomaly scans done on time as recommended by your doctor. It helps to catch things early.
Sometimes high blood sugar or uncontrolled diabetes can also increase the risk of developmental anomalies. It is extremely important to monitor your diet and keep your sugar levels in check from day one.
Sometimes things like high fever, certain strong medicines, or genetic reasons can cause issues. My parents always made sure I ate healthy and stayed away from chemical fumes or self-medicating. Please follow your doctor's advice carefully.
Actually, anomalies can happen due to random genetic mutations, age, or even severe infections during pregnancy, yaar. That's why doctors stress so much on taking folic acid daily. Make sure you don't miss your scans.
As if we don't have enough to worry about, now we have to stress about anomalies too! Jokes aside, they can happen due to genetics or viral infections. I just took my folic acid religiously and left the rest to my gynac.
