Re: need advice scard????
Unfortunately I don't have any advice for you but I want to say that I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and I hope this little bundle of joy grows and develops into a healthy baby!! Good Luck!
Side note - maybe you might want to try the high-risk board?? I'm not sure - but they may be able to help. Or even pregnant after a loss.
First, let me say how terribly sorry I am for your loss. I cannot even imagine how you feel.
As for THIS pregnancy, did your doctor say there was a genetic reason for the anencephaly or was it environmental or even just a chance happening?
I just Googled the condition and it several sites suggest that folic acid helps prevent neural tube defects. So even if you don't have an Rx for prenatal vitamins, be sure to take OTC ones.
And call your insurance to see if there is a Gap exclusion for a high risk OB/perinatologist. If one is needed and there is none "in-network" you can often get a waiver to see a non-network doctor and pay only copays. It doesn't hurt to check.
I pray you have a healthy baby, too.
