neural tube defect

The cause for my miscarriage (15wk) was of cystic hygroma, my doctor told me that I should take 4mg of folic acid daily to prevent future miscarriage. Can you recommend other measures that I should take to prevent such event and is this the right dosage of folic acid ?

Im sure your doc will give you the right amount of folic acid. That is the only thing I know that could help. Im so sorry to hear about your m/c.

Omega 3- fatty acids are good to take when you are expecting and they help in neural development. I take one flax seed oil supplement each day, or fish is also a great source. I am so sorry for your loss, take care.

thank you for your advice, I just can't believe that I didn't know that I needed to take more of folic acid. I'm taking it now 4mg daily of folic acid plus a multivitamin too. I wish someone had told me or asked me if I was taking enough of folic acid, so now I'm telling everyone who's thinking about getting pregnant to take folic acid before they get pregnant, it could save their baby's life.
