Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
1] I will suggest indulging in a healthy diet and regular exercise regime.
Include plenty of fruits, salads, vegetables in the diet.
Have adequate water intake , say 8 – 10 glasses per day.
Avoid deep fried foods, bakery products, and refined sugars.Avoid
substance abuse, if any.
Start on
FOLIC ACID, B12 supplements at least 3 months before you plan to have baby.
2] You can also get genetic karyotyping done for both of you. If you both are normal , then your concern about repeat chance of Down's syndrome get statistically reduced.
3] In next pregnancy . 12 weeks scan with nuchal translucency and
nasal bone with double marker ; and at weeks
triple test will help to screen out for Down's syndrome.
4] In case of any doubts. CVB- chorion villous biopsy, and
amniocentesis can be done to rule out fetal abnormality.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
Dr Purushottam
