Firstly Shardian, glad to hear that your wife is slowly on the mend but you are still in my thoughts.
Secondly, from your statement above, are you saying that folic acid is by prescription only in the US?

Sez, no, it's not, but from what I'm understanding, he's saying she wasn't told to increase her folic acid intake AT ALL.
Shardian, the wife and I are praying for your family. Whatever else you might need, if any of us here can help, I'm certain we would do what we could for you, so don't hesitate to ask.
Cyko, there's a difference in communication (meaning not effectively transmitting information) and speaking clearly or without an accent. That's the impression I got from your "I.E." The two things, while somewhat interrelated, are NOT identical, and an Indian woman might be FAR more effective at communication than the person they have as a doctor right now.

Update Time:
As to Folic acid, it is prescription if you have to take an additional 4 milligrams, which is ALOT.
Anyways, Michelle is still on bed rest, her cervix is still thinning out - 3mm at last ultra sound.
She will be 34 weeks on Wednesday, so we will be much more relieved when that day gets here. The doctor will do a test to see if the baby is ready at 35 weeks, and if she is still pregnant by that time and Elizabeth passes the test, then Michelle will be getting up and walking a few blocks around the hospital. ;D

Ask the docs about Lovenox (I might have spelled that wrong...) My wife was having trouble carrying, and her fertility doc prescribed this blood thinner... Apparently it can't do any harm, and can help with clotting disorders.

She has been on that the whole time. It was really funny, because the first time she had to do the shot she almost passed out. Now, it is nothing to her. That stuff is VERY expensive - $2000/month. I count my lucky stars that insurance covered it.
