Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello: Generally speaking, every pregnant woman needs to supplement folic acid. Starting three months before pregnancy, taking 400 micrograms of folic acid daily can prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. This is especially important for women who have a history of giving birth to children with neural tube defects. Folic acid can be stopped after the third month of pregnancy. Of course, if there is no history of neural tube defects in children and the diet is not picky, it is not necessary to take it.
