Is it OK to not eat folic acid during pregnancy?

Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin that is essential for the body to use sugars and amino acids, but the body cannot synthesize and convert folic acid itself, so it needs to be obtained from the outside world. Pregnant women eat folic acid to prevent fetal neural tube development defects, improve maternal resistance, and provide some nutrients for the fetus. If pregnant women lack folic acid in the early stage, it may cause fetal malformation, neural tube development defects, and may also cause early spontaneous abortion. In the second and third trimester of pregnancy, when folic acid intake is insufficient, pregnant women are prone to placental abruption, pregnancy induced hypertension syndrome, etc. Therefore, folic acid should be supplemented in time during pregnancy.
