I miscarried my first pregnancy at 23 weeks due to the neural tube defect called Anenecaphaly. I was told that taking folic acid tabs before conception and up to 12 weeks pregnancy could've helped. However this condition occurred 4 weeks after conception when I did not know I was pregnant. This condition was recognised by the sonographer at my anonomly scan and I miscarried a couple of weeks later. However I have been told by 3 other doctors etc that this condition should've been recognised on my 12 weeks scan...which it wasn't!! 6 years on I'm pregnant again (after careful planning this time) and am scared that the same thing will happen again and I will not know about it until much later on......does anyone know if I will recieve extra scans?? My doctor is GP is being very hazy.......
