Honestly the best thing you can do is regular checkups, avoid alcohol and smoking, take your folic acid and manage things like BP and sugar with your doctor. Most pregnancies are perfectly healthy. Let your gynac guide the rest.

Better to ask your gynac than worry from internet info.

This is a heavy topic and really one for your gynac to discuss properly. There are many factors and your doctor monitors for risks at each visit. Please don't read scary things online and stress, ask them directly.

I went down this worry hole too and it just gave me sleepless nights. Focusing on what I could control, like good nutrition and checkups, helped. Please be kind to your mind, talk to your doctor for real answers.
