Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Once pregnant couples have a plan to have a baby, they should supplement nutrients such as folic acid and trace elements to prepare their bodies well for pregnancy. Just like our crops need sufficient base fertilizer, this ensures that the seeds have enough nutrition when they sprout, allowing the seedlings to grow strong. Additionally, supplementing with folic acid and other nutrients can prevent neural tube defects and reduce birth defects such as congenital heart disease, cleft lip, and cleft palate. It is said that pregnant women can take 0.4 milligrams of folic acid daily, but they should not supplement excessively.
