My doc started me on folic acid even before i conceived properly and now in early pregnancy too. I take it daily but actually dont know why its so important. Can someone explain in simple words?
Folic acid helps the baby's brain and body develop beautifully from the very start. Take your daily dose, eat healthy fruits, and keep a peaceful mind. God bless you and your little one.
Please make sure you take your folic acid regularly as prescribed. Since I had complications earlier, my doctor explained how crucial this pill is to prevent early spinal defects. If you feel any nausea after taking it, ask your doctor to change the brand.
My doctor prescribed me folic acid even before I conceived, and I took it diligently. She explained it's vital for the baby's spinal development in the early weeks. I never skipped it and had a very healthy pregnancy.
My doctor explained that folic acid is a synthetic form of folate, which prevents neural tube defects (NTDs) by 70%. It helps in the healthy division of cells and DNA formation in the fetus. That's why it is started even before conceiving.
My tracker app was constantly reminding me about folic acid! It is super important in the first trimester to prevent birth defects in the baby's brain and spinal cord. Definitely don't skip this one.
