My doctor advised me to start taking folic acid as we are planning a pregnancy. I'm curious to know more about it. What exactly does folic acid do and why is it so important to take it before pregnancy?
When I was planning, I felt so happy knowing that taking this tiny pill every day was already helping protect my future baby. It really gave me peace of mind.
While folic acid is essential, please consult your gynac to get the exact prescription and dosage that suits your body's needs before starting any supplement.
It plays a huge role in the very first weeks of your baby's development, even before you know you are pregnant. Taking it early is such a beautiful way to care for your baby from day one.
Folic acid is super important when you're planning because it helps prevent birth defects in the baby's brain and spinal cord. It's best to start it at least 2-3 months before you conceive.
