Folic acid should also be supplemented during pregnancy. When is the best time to eat folic acid tablets in that day? Generally speaking, expectant mothers should supplement folic acid from the third month before pregnancy, and taking folic acid tablets is the most effective measure. Because folic acid contained in food is very unstable, folic acid in food will be destroyed under the influence of factors such as long storage time or heat. Even if expectant mothers eat some foods rich in folic acid in their usual diet, they still can't meet the needs of pregnancy preparation. Therefore, expectant mothers must take folic acid tablets from the beginning of pregnancy, so as to ensure that the folic acid storage in the body can meet the needs of fetal growth and development, and avoid the problem of fetal developmental malformation.
The best time for expectant mothers to take folic acid tablets is half an hour after meals, because the food they eat in their stomachs has been digested and absorbed to a certain extent, and the burden on the stomach is obviously reduced, so they can better absorb the nutrients in folic acid tablets. Of course, expectant mothers should drink more water after eating folic acid tablets, which is conducive to improving the absorption rate of folic acid. Of course, expectant mothers must take folic acid tablets for pregnant women, because the folic acid content in them can just meet the needs of pregnancy preparation and pregnancy, while the folic acid content in other folic acid tablets is too much or insufficient to help expectant mothers achieve the purpose of taking folic acid tablets.
Because the early pregnancy is a critical period for the development of fetal nervous system, expectant mothers should insist on taking folic acid every day in the first three months after pregnancy, which can effectively reduce the chance of fetal developmental malformation. Most expectant mothers need to take folic acid tablets until three months after pregnancy. Of course, some expectant mothers take folic acid tablets for less than three months during pregnancy. It is best for these expectant mothers to explain the situation to the prenatal doctor and consult the doctor whether it is necessary to extend the time of taking folic acid tablets, which is more conducive to the healthy development of the fetus.
Conclusion Expectant mothers should supplement folic acid when preparing for pregnancy, and the best time to take folic acid tablets is half an hour after meals every day. As long as expectant mothers follow the scientific method of raising fetuses, they can escort the healthy growth of fetuses.
