We are planning to start trying in a few months and a friend told me to begin folic acid even before conceiving. I always thought it starts only after the pregnancy is confirmed. Did you all take it beforehand?
I asked my doctor the same thing recently and she said yes start it now while trying. Apparently the first few weeks matter the most and many dont even know they are pregnant yet. So starting beforehand is a good idea na.
Definitely, before is even better than after. My doctor had me on folic acid before both pregnancies. It works in those very first weeks so starting early is smart. Confirm the brand and dose with ur doc.
Yes! Actually doctors recommend starting folic acid a few months before u even conceive. I started mine when we began planning. It helps with the baby's early development. Just get the right dose from ur gynac, dont guess it.
Absolutely, preconception folic acid is one of the most recommended things. It supports the baby's neural development in early pregnancy. Best to get a quick consult so ur doctor confirms the correct dosage for u.
