How to insert rows into a matrix

Hi
I have a matrix (748*6). I need to insert one row after every 3rd row. How should I do that? the resulting martix should be (1126 *6).
Thank you

This cannot work. "After every 3rd row" means, that the number of rows would grow by 4/3. Example with 6 elements:
[1,2,3,<insert>, 4,5,6,<insert>]
Maybe you mean "after every 2nd row" or "in every 3rd row". Then the number of rows grows by a factor of 3/2. This is near to the given sizes, but not exactly: 748 / 2 * 2 is 1122, not 1126.
Please post a short example with inputs and outputs to clarify, what you want.
You did not mention what you want to insert: zeros, NaNs, values from another matrix? "Inserting rows" is not clear in this point.

If the details with the size of the output are cleared, something like this will solve the problem:
A = rand(748, 6); % Test data
n = 3; % In each 3rd row
m = true(748 / (n-1) * n, 1);
m(n:n:end) = false;
B = zeros(numel(m), 6);
B(m, :) = A;
