Patient's question:
I heard that during the first three months of pregnancy, it's recommended to take folic acid and vitamin E. However, I noticed there are so many different brands of supplements at the pharmacy, and I'm not sure if any doctors have good recommendations. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to answer your question. Before trying to conceive, it's important to quit some bad habits, such as staying up late, smoking, and drinking alcohol. Then, three months before pregnancy, both partners should start taking folic acid together. After becoming pregnant, the mother should continue taking it for the first three months to prevent neural tube defects. Generally, doctors recommend that women with signs of risk for adverse fetal development should maintain a balanced diet, avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to having a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
