Do you still need folic acid in three months of pregnancy?

Folic acid is a B vitamin that participates in the metabolism of nucleic acids, proteins, amino acids and DNA synthesis. If folic acid is deficient after pregnancy, it will affect fetal cell division and DNA formation, especially in early pregnancy. If folic acid is deficient, it will cause fetal neural tube defects. Ordinary pregnant women can no longer supplement folic acid after 3 months of pregnancy. However, some pregnant women belong to folic acid metabolism disorders, this part of pregnant women for folic acid absorption and utilization rate is reduced, so after 3 months of pregnancy, still need oral folic acid tablets 0.4mg per day, in order to ensure fetal development and pregnant women's own health needs.
