Had a miscarriage last year started taking prenatal vitamins two days ago, what is the chance of having another miscarriage...afraid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Miscarriage: I'm sorry to hear of your loss last year -- that's painful for anyone. About 15% of all pregnant women have miscarriages -- but this is not likely related to using prenatal vitamins. Prenatal vitamins especially supply folate, (folic acid) which prevents neural tube birth defects. Smoking is one factor that may increase the risk of miscarriage. You & your doctor can discuss any risks in your specific case.
