Folic acid should ideally start 1-2 months before conceiving and definitely continue through the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. It prevents neural tube defects, so just take one tablet daily after lunch or dinner as your gynac directed.
I've started taking it daily now that we are actively trying to conceive. I read that it's best to have it in your system even before you get that positive test. Are you currently pregnant or planning?
Yes dear, you should start taking it as soon as you find out you are pregnant, or even earlier. It is a very small, simple tablet that keeps the baby healthy. Just make sure to take it daily.
Haan na, folic acid toh sabse important hai! Doctor generally pre-pregnancy se hi start karne bolte hain, and first trimester mein toh roz bina bhule lena padta hai.
My pregnancy app kept sending me daily reminders for folic acid in the first trimester! It's crucial for the baby's brain and spinal cord development, so take it every single day as prescribed.
