Does not eating folic acid during the first three months of pregnancy affect the fetus?

Patient's question:

Three months before pregnancy, I didn't take folic acid or have a Down syndrome screening. I'm very worried about the potential negative effects on the fetus.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally there is no impact. This type of genetic disease is rare and can be tested for free after the baby is born. Currently, increasing nutrition and supplementing protein is okay. Gynecological diseases not only affect the patient's life but can also lead to the occurrence of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for a leukorrhea test to identify the cause and treat accordingly. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the vulvar skin clean.
