Patient's question:
Can you eat folic acid tablets after pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Folic acid is very important for women of childbearing age and pregnant women. Pregnant women with folic acid deficiency have a 5 times higher incidence of teratogenesis compared to those without folic acid deficiency. A lack of folic acid in the early stages of pregnancy can cause neural tube defects in the fetus. Calcium supplementation should begin after the fourth month of pregnancy.
