My gynac put me on folic acid the moment my test came positive and didnt really explain much. Just curious why everyone keeps stressing on it so early, like what does it actually do na. Pls share what u know.
Absolutely, both my pregnancies I took it from day one. Its one of the most important things in the early months. Dont skip your daily dose, set a phone reminder if you forget like I used to.
We're planning right now and my doctor already started me on folic acid tablets. She said its better to begin before conceiving itself. Glad to know its this important, I'll keep taking it regularly.
Very much yes. I kept the strip in my office bag and on my bedside so I never missed it even on hectic days. Its tiny but does a big job early on, so make it a habit.
Yes, my gynac stressed on it from before I even conceived. She explained folic acid helps the baby's brain and spine develop properly in the early weeks and prevents some birth defects. Thats why doctors give it even when you're just planning. Definitely take it as prescribed.
Yes it really does, its given for a good reason in those first weeks when the baby's development is so crucial. Just take whatever dose your doctor prescribed and dont double it on your own. You're doing the right thing by asking.
