The first three months of pregnancy is a critical period for the growth and development of the baby's central nervous system. If the mother lacks folic acid during this period, the risk of neural tube defects in the fetus will increase by 50% ~ 70%, and prevention is helpful for anemia, spontaneous abortion and fetal growth retardation in pregnant women. In fact, folic acid is best to start taking it three months before pregnancy until three months after pregnancy. Take 0.4-0.8mg every day. If it exceeds this amount, it will produce a series of adverse reactions, such as nausea, nausea and anorexia. For the sake of the baby in the belly, no one should try to take too much folic acid to cause adverse reactions.
