Just found out im 5 weeks and my gynac hasnt started any tablets yet, next appointment is after a week. Everyone keeps talking about folic acid. Is it really that important to begin early?
Yes, absolutely take it! Folic acid helps in baby's brain and spinal cord development, and taking care of your health early makes recovery much easier later. I had a C-section, and maintaining good nutrition from day one really helped my body heal post-delivery.
Folic acid is actually non-negotiable during pregnancy because it prevents neural tube defects in the baby. Ideally, you should start it even when you are planning to conceive. Make sure you take the exact dose your gynac has prescribed every day.
Haan, bilkul lena chahiye, isme toh bilkul laparwahi nahi karni na! Folic acid baby ki growth ke liye bahut zaroori hota hai. Doctor jo bhi brand prescribe karein, use bina bhule roz khana.
Even my MIL, who usually prefers ghar ke nuskhe, insisted that I must take folic acid tablets daily. She said some modern medicines are necessary for the baby's safety. So yes, please don't skip your doctor-prescribed folic acid!
Oh yes, folic acid is super important! My doctor started me on it even before I conceived, and I took it diligently throughout my first trimester. I am in my second trimester now and still get anxious about missing any vitamin. Did any of you also feel super worried about taking your pills on time?
