Hi,

Congrats Swetha.

Normally daily supplement of folic acid should be taken by all women who are trying to conceive. This should be continued during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. This is essential for the development of the baby's spinal cord and nervous system, and to help prevent birth defects known as neural tube defects. These include spina bifida and malformations such as cleft palate or cleft lip.

The recommended dose of folic acid for this purpose is 400 micrograms daily, unless you have a high risk of conceiving a baby with neural tube defects..but one thing before you start taking this medicine. Similarly, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medicines while taking this one, to ensure that the combination is safe.

My gynechologist suggested me to take these following foods to increase folic acids so you also can try.. these following foods have more folic acids daily you take this in your pregnancy diet wholegrain breads, wheat flour, potato,sweet potato,beetroot, cabbage,orange ,banana,egg yolk, soya products..

 If u go to the doctor they'll definitely prescribe folic acid tablets in the first trimester. Folic acid foods are Orange, spinach, liver, beans etc.

 Kalai they prescribed me this tablet i just want know the intake amount.If the folic acid content in my body increase will affect baby?What is the actual amount to be?

Regards 

Swetha
