Gynac started me on folic acid in my first visit but didn't really explain why it's so important. Im 8 weeks now. Just want to understand what it actually does for the baccha.
Hello dear! Folic acid helps in making healthy red blood cells and prevents spinal defects in the baby. Please take it daily as advised by your doctor.
I took it religiously throughout my first trimester as suggested by my doctor. It really helps secure the baby's early developmental milestones, so definitely keep taking it.
I panicked when my doc first prescribed it, thinking something was wrong with my baby! But it's totally normal and super important for baby's brain and spinal cord development.
Ah, those tiny yellow pills! Folic acid is the ultimate savior for baby's brain development, even if swallowing pills makes you want to throw up in the 1st trimester like I did, haha.
It's the most essential and cheapest tablet your doctor will give you. It helps prevent birth defects in the baby, so don't skip it to save on medicine bills.
Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate which prevents major birth defects of the baby's brain and spine. It is highly recommended by all doctors to start it even when planning a pregnancy.
Babe, don't stress too much about all these medical terms! Folic acid is basically a super-vitamin that keeps your baby's brain healthy and growing, so just pop that daily pill.
In my IVF journey, folic acid was the very first thing my doctor put me on. It is incredibly vital for preventing neural tube defects in the early weeks of your baby's growth.
I'm currently taking this too! Does anyone know if we should take it before food or after? My doctor told me to take it daily but I forgot to ask about the timing.
