We are planning to start trying soon and a friend told me to begin folic acid pehle se. Im not even pregnant yet so thoda unsure. Is it really ok to start before? anyone did this?
Yes, doctors usually advise starting folic acid while planning. Since I had thyroid issues, I made sure to get all my blood tests done alongside starting folic acid. Regular follow-ups are key.
Oh yes, definitely! It is actually best to start it at least a month or two before you conceive. Don't stress too much, just visit a gynac and they will write a simple prescription for you.
It is completely normal to feel unsure about starting medications before pregnancy, I had the same doubts. But folic acid is very safe and actually helps prevent birth defects, so please don't worry.
My tracking app sent me daily reminders to take folic acid while we were trying to conceive. It is super important for the baby's early neural development, so starting early is best.
Yes, it is very important, but please get a doctor's prescription first. Since I had some complications earlier, my doctor customized my vitamin doses, so a professional opinion is always safest.
