We are planning to start trying next month and i keep reading about folic acid everywhere. Should i start taking it even before getting pregnant? gynac appointment is next week but wanted to know ur experiences.
Yes, it is very important! I was so anxious about birth defects that I started it early. Make sure you don't miss it, but please talk to your doctor first to be safe.
Folic acid is crucial before and during early pregnancy to prevent birth defects. However, instead of self-medicating, consult your doctor for the exact prescription and dosage.
My doctor also suggested starting folic acid now since we are trying. I felt a bit shy asking, but she said it is very safe and helpful. You should ask your doctor too.
Yes, it's like a golden rule for baby planning! 🌟 It helps in healthy development right from day one. Definitely check with your gynac to start your prenatal vitamins. 👍
I took folic acid daily before conceiving and continued throughout my pregnancy. It really helps in the early spinal development of the baby. My doctor guided me on it.
It is highly recommended to start taking folic acid at least 2-3 months before you start trying. It prepares your body beautifully. Do consult your gynac to get the right brand.
Yes, absolutely! Along with folic acid tablets that my doctor gave, I ate lots of green leafy veggies and citrus fruits to get it naturally. It's super important for planning.
