Patient's question:
Pregnancy time around 50 days. After realizing she was pregnant, she started taking folic acid tablets and also began drinking early pregnancy milk (Bayer). Recently, she stopped taking folic acid tablets and started taking Fushifu, while continuing to drink early pregnancy milk (after finishing Bayer, her husband helped her buy Nestle). The past two days, for some reason, she has been feeling bloated, uncomfortable, and having diarrhea. She is really worried it might be bad for the baby. Today, she accidentally checked the ingredients of Fushifu and found they are similar to those of early pregnancy milk. It seems she is taking double the nutrients every day.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: For women during the three months before pregnancy and the first three months after pregnancy, taking 0.4 milligrams of folic acid supplement (brand name "Sulian") daily can prevent most neural tube defects in the fetus. In your case, it is recommended to continue taking it for three months.Advice: Diarrhea is caused by increased intestinal peristalsis. Taking belladonna mixture can alleviate the symptoms, but considering that medication should be minimized in the early stages of pregnancy, it's best to wait and see.
