Patient's question:
I am 3 and a half months pregnant. I heard that taking folic acid regularly can reduce the risk of birth defects in children. I didn't take it before pregnancy or in the first 3 months. Is it still okay to start now! First question supplement: What type of folic acid should I take!Doctor's answer:
Women of childbearing age should start taking folic acid three months before pregnancy. During pregnancy, women should continue to take folic acid for another three months to ensure the needs of both the mother and the fetus for folic acid. It can also prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. Wishing you health.Generally, doctors will advise patients with signs of genetic risks to rest in bed and avoid sexual activity.
