Simple Methods to Prevent Another Miscarriage

All aspiring mamas know what it’s like to carry a miracle in their bodies… only to experience baby loss. We’re referring to miscarriages here, which is a heartbreaking, devastating and emotionally painful thing for any woman to go through.

Defined as early pregnancy loss before the 20th week, statistics show that one in every four women experience miscarriages and that it is fairly common. However, the right care and the right treatment could increase one’s chances of sustaining a pregnancy to full term.

(1) Get a fertility screening
The exact causes for every miscarriage may be hard to pinpoint and could differ from one to another. Repeat miscarriages, defined as three or more in a row, are even more heartbreaking for aspiring mothers. That’s why a medical evaluation can uncover some causes and pick up risk factors – so that you have an effective strategy to prevent a future miscarriage.

At Bespoke Health, we run fertility screenings developed by parents and healthcare professionals. They comprise comprehensive blood tests that include a thyroid profile and hormone level tests for estrogen and progesterone (P4). These tests will pick up any deficiencies, so that the right solutions – like medication or hormone therapy – can be suggested.

(2) Take Vitamin D supplements
In addition to early screening, research has shed light suggesting that Vitamin D can lower the risk of miscarriages. The U.S. National Institute of Child Health and Human Development studied how a 10 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) increase in Vitamin D led to a 12% lower risk of miscarriages among pregnant women.

Another important nutrient to take is supplements with folate, such as folic acid and 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate ( 5-MTHF). There have been positive results after research shows both men and women who take 800 mcg daily of 5-MTHF supplement four months prior to trying for a baby will eventually conceive!

This is great news that brings hope to many women. So if you’re ready to embark on this journey, then don’t hesitate to contact us for a fertility screening and full consultation. Our methods are purely scientific and evidence-based, respecting your time, intelligence and emotional journey.

A healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby can be in your future, so let’s work together to holistically increase your chance of conceiving and carrying a healthy pregnancy.
