Brief Answer:
You should consult the doctor every month.

Detailed Answer:
Hello xxxxxxxx,

Thank you for writing back to me.

I apologize for the delay in answering.

You should consult your doctor once every month from now on, you can make your first visit as soon as you want, but after that, every month you should consult your doctor without fail.

There are no particular do's and don'ts, you should eat healthy, stay healthy. Most important thing is, you should take folic acid tablets (5mg once a day), and should not take any other medicine.

There are no dietary restrictions, so eat well.

I hope this will suffice for now, your obstetrician will also explain further. I will send you a detailed do's and don'ts later.(I am in a hurry right now)

Wishing you all the best.

Best regards
