Undergone Miscarriage. Precautions To Be Taken For Future Pregnancy And When To Plan?
Hi Doctor, I had a miscarraige after 8 weeks of preganancy. I am just concern about the care that I need to take so as to have healthy baby in my next preganancy. I want to know when I can plan for my next pregnancy. And, I also want to ask about the relationship, i.e. how many days I should not do sex with my husband after missed abortion .

Hello,
thanks for the query.
Following are recommended:
Resume normal non-strenuous activities as soon as you wish.
Eat healthy and iron-rich foods. Increase your fluid intake during the times you are bleeding.
Get plenty of rest.
To minimize the chance of uterine infection:Use a sanitary napkin rather than a tampon
Avoid sexual activity for 6 weeks.
Avoid pregnancy for 3 months.
Continue taking folic acid tablets.
regards,
Dr Nilofer
