Would anyone be able to share their experiences of trying to conceive again after a diagnosis of acrania? I have a nine month old healthy son and was pretty surprised to find out in jan we were expecting again! Very excited once that initial shock had worn off. As I'm still bf my son I had been on 400mcg folic acid in my supplement for that altho probably not taking it as religiously as I took it pre pregnancy the first time.
Anyway twelve week scan was on Tuesday and it was apparent fairly early on something was not right with babies head. Diagnosis of acrania was given and I had a surgical termination on Thursday. We are pretty devastated and I'm keen to try again but at the moment have been given no info on chances of recurrence, when to try again etc other than that I will need high dose fa which I'm going to see doctor for on Monday.
It would really help if anyone out there felt able to share any experience, positive or negative, of conceiving again after this blow.
Thanks in anticipation
