My gynac started it the day my test came positive but didn't really explain kyu. I keep hearing its bohot important in early weeks. Can someone tell me what it actually does na?
Actually, folic acid is super important, especially in the first trimester. Yaar, doc prescribes it even before you get pregnant so that baby's brain and spine develop properly. Don't skip it at all!
It is a nutrient that keeps your little soul growing healthy inside. Take your medicines on time as your doctor says, eat well, and keep your mind peaceful with good thoughts.
Folic acid is a must, but honestly, those tablets used to make me nauseous early morning. I spoke to my doctor and she shifted it to night time. If u are struggling with morning sickness too, ask your doc to change the timing.
Along with the supplements the doctor gives, you can also eat spinach, beetroot, and citrus fruits. They are rich in natural folate. But yes, never skip the main tablet prescribed by your doctor!
Please take it daily without fail. Folic acid helps prevent major birth defects. After my loss, my doctor made sure I took this even before conceiving, it is very critical.
It is a vital vitamin (B9) that prevents neural tube defects in the baby. Your doc will give you a small tablet for this, usually till 12 weeks. Just take it daily with water, simple as that.
