Hello,
Firstly, once you become pregnant, you should consult an obstetrician and no a gynaecologist.
Since how long are you trying to conceive?
If it has been more than 1 year of trying to conceive naturally, you should visit an infertility specialist and rule out the cause behind inability to conceive.
You can visit my clinic International Fertility Centre located in New Delhi for further evaluation. We are a network of 14 clinics located across India and Nepal. My clinic offers varied fertility treatments and services to help you fulfill your parenthood dreams. You can share your contact details to reach you.

Dear Practo user,
You should start taking Tab Folic acid once a day before conception. You should be aware about fertile period. Try for pregnancy for about 3-4 months. In case you don't conceive, consult Gynaecologist.
