Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor Yes it is still possible to have healthy viable pregnancy. It appears to be due to genetic defect(chromosomal disorder). You have not mentioned your age. Risk of trisomy 21,18 and 13 increases with maternal age (> 30 yrs). For prophylaxis, you can start tablet Folic acid daily at least 3 months before conception. Maintain healthy diet. Avoidance of smoking and alcohol is advised. Once you are pregnant it would be ideal to undergo first trimester screening (11-14 was) for major anomalies by doing a blood test and ultrasound.  Take care.
