How long should I take folic acid during pregnancy? An experienced mother?

Thank you for inviting me. I'm Ma Jing, and I'm happy to answer your question.

How long should I take folic acid during pregnancy? For pregnant couples, folic acid should be taken from the first three months of pregnancy, and both husband and wife should take it until pregnancy, so the man can not take it, but the woman should continue to take it, at least until 12 weeks of pregnancy, and those who want to continue to eat can not take it.

Why do you eat folic acid during pregnancy? 1. According to the data, the rate of folic acid deficiency in southern China is 5.8%, and that in northern China is 37.0%. Folic acid deficiency can lead to fetal neural tube malformation. Therefore, folic acid should be supplemented in advance from the beginning of pregnancy to improve folic acid deficiency.

2, start eating three months before pregnancy, because the development of fetal neural tube is completed in the first trimester of pregnancy, so it is necessary to improve the folic acid level in the body during pregnancy, and the folic acid level is suitable for women during pregnancy.

3. If it is a fetus with neural tube malformation before, it is necessary to increase the dose of folic acid, usually 5mg, which can be taken according to the doctor's advice.

I have eaten for three months, but I am not pregnant. Do I need to keep eating? Of course there is such a situation. The doctor said that folic acid should be supplemented from the third month before pregnancy, so I'm ready to have a baby. It's been three months, but the baby hasn't eaten yet. What should I do? Should I continue taking folic acid or stop taking it for a while?

In this case, you should continue to take folic acid until the baby is pregnant for three months.

Folic acid is a kind of vitamin. Like calcium supplementation, it is also possible for pregnant women to supplement. Moreover, folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin. If you supplement quantitatively every day and insist on eating, you won't be poisoned, so you can rest assured that you will insist on eating.

There are many folic acid products, how to choose? There are many products to supplement folic acid, including simple folic acid tablets, multivitamins (including folic acid), and various brands of pregnancy nutrients (besides folic acid, there are many other nutrients). How should I choose?

When choosing, you can consider several points:

Price: it depends on your own economic conditions, but as far as folic acid composition is concerned, it is the same, and there is no case that the higher the price, the better the folic acid composition; Folic acid content: 0.4mg and 0.8mg are both acceptable. If you eat less folic acid, you can choose 0.8mg. If you choose 0.4mg, you can also pay attention to eating more foods rich in folic acid. How about the usual nutritional supplement: expectant mothers who are picky eaters and have insufficient nutritional intake can give priority to multivitamins or comprehensive nutrients for pregnant women. Usually, they can only choose simple folic acid tablets to pay attention to nutritional supplement; Brands and channels: big brands with good reputation are purchased through formal channels. To prepare for pregnancy, in addition to eating folic acid, you need to do these things: 1, balanced nutrition, diverse food types, no junk food, no spicy and cold food;

2, insist on daily exercise to enhance physical fitness, which is also good for breeding quality babies;

3, ensure adequate sleep, sleep well, be in good health, be in a good mood and be in good condition, which is conducive to high-quality breeding;

4, happy every day, avoid tension and anxiety, too much pressure, the more nervous the pressure, the more likely it is to get pregnant.

The above is the answer to this question. I hope I can help you and wish you a good pregnancy as soon as possible!
