Folic acid is a very beneficial vitamin used to treat and prevent fetal chromosomal abnormalities and maternal anemia. Regular folic acid use requires taking it during the first trimester of pregnancy and the first trimester of early pregnancy. The main purpose at this time is to prevent chromosomal abnormalities, and it is very effective, so pregnant women are routinely required to take folic acid at these two points. In addition, folic acid can also be used in the second and third trimester of pregnancy. At this time, folic acid is mainly used to prevent megaloblastic anemia, which is also very useful and valuable. Therefore, it is harmless to eat folic acid throughout pregnancy.
