Patient's question:
Now I hear that you can take folic acid tablets before pregnancy. What time is best to take them, and how long should you take them? Can you watch TV after getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Generally, folic acid is taken for three months before pregnancy and three months after pregnancy. You can take it now, but don't take too much. It is recommended to take folic acid in normal amounts now and not to overdo it. However, you need to pay attention not to increase the dosage of folic acid to avoid taking too much, which may be harmful to your body. Additionally, folic acid can also be supplemented through diet. Foods such as red amaranth, spinach, lettuce, asparagus, dragon's beard vegetable, rapeseed, pak choi, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, beans, yeast, whole wheat bread, animal liver, malt, and bananas, strawberries, oranges, etc., are excellent sources of folic acid and can be taken in moderation.Drink more water, eat less spicy, cold, and irritating foods, pay attention to a nutritious diet, and get more rest. Wishing you good health.
