When to Take Folic Acid Tablets During Pregnancy

Folic acid is a vitamin that every pregnant woman needs to supplement. It can effectively help prevent fetal neurovascular malformation. It needs to be supplemented during pregnancy, especially in the three months before pregnancy. Take 400 micrograms a day, equivalent to one tablet. After taking it, the folic acid content in the body will not increase immediately. Therefore, it needs to be supplemented three months in advance so that the fetus has a better folic acid nutritional status in the early pregnancy. After three months of pregnancy, although the neural tube of the fetus has been closed, if folic acid deficiency during pregnancy is likely to cause preeclampsia or placental dysplasia, thus causing abortion, it is recommended to continue folic acid supplementation until the end of pregnancy.
