How long should folic acid be taken before pregnancy?
Asking because we want to plan properly this time. How many weeks or months in advance should it be started ideally? Just want to do everything right before trying.
Taking it 1 to 3 months before you start trying is the standard advice. It is a very cheap tablet and easily available at any local pharmacy. Just ask your doctor to write a prescription and take it daily after food.
The general medical consensus is to start taking it 3 months before trying to conceive. It protects the baby from neural tube defects. Just visit your gynecologist once, get a prescription, and make it a habit.
Yaar, actually you should start it at least 2-3 months before you start active trying. My doc said it helps build up the folate levels in your body. It is super simple, just a daily supplement.
I totally understand how overwhelming it feels to plan everything perfectly. Doctors recommend starting folic acid 2-3 months before trying to conceive. Please don't worry if you haven't started yet, just consult your doctor and they will guide you.
Doctor normally bolte hai ki conceiving ke 2-3 months pehle se shuru karna chahiye, haan na. It is very good for the baby's growth. Apne gynac se consult karke aaj hi start kar do.
I started it 3 months before planning and continued through my pregnancy. Looking at my healthy baby now, I feel so grateful I took that small step. It is such a beautiful way to prepare your body for motherhood.
Yes! Starting it 1 to 3 months before you get pregnant is super important for the baby! 🌸 It is just one small pill a day. Ask your doctor for a prescription and you are good to go!
Folic acid should be taken for 1 to 3 months prior to conceiving. While eating folate-rich foods like green leafy veggies is great, the supplement is absolutely necessary. Just discuss it with your gynac to get the right brand.
