Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi Archie,

How are you doing?How is your health?How is Advait doing?Hope everything is fine.I have a question to ask you.I had a miscarriage in Feb month.The reason was my fetus didn't have any heartbeat and it was not growing at all.Doctor said it was a missed abortion.And i had to done my D&C .

My condn is similar to what Meenu also
gone thro'. she was given Rubella vaccine itseems.(she mentioned in her message that she wrote to u)
In my my case just they did D &C and she said if another miscarriage happens then only they will take any further step to do anything.I mean i was not given any Rubella vaccine.Is that so neccesary???(i have changed my doctor now.she is good in high risk pregnancy itseems).Bcoz we are thinking of planning for a baby in SEP month.Shd i ask abt this Rubella vaccine to my doctor??I am having folic acid and iron tablets now.And we are vegetarians.
Do u suggest something like do and don't???And in food also .....I am confused now.Help me
Thanks in advance

Meenu clarified issue already.

It's good idea to get it checked, July is best month for you if you want to try in September. You should do vaccination at least one cycle before your cycle of ttc.

I hope this time you end up like Meenu, with a grand success. I am cetain that Meenu is having a healthy pregnancy. You too will be blessed with one healthy pregnancy.

It would be good idea to bring this point to your Dr. and ask her if she recommend any other vaccinations. It's better done earlier than worrying in pregnancy, when a little or nothing can be done about.

All is in oder at my end. Taking time to recover, Advait is doing good.

Good luck

This is just a vaccination for GErman measels (we call ammai in tamil) and nothing else do with the pregnancy. You can ask your doctor and she will be in a better position to tell you about it.
Talk to her.

Wish you all the very best.
