Mama2Mama Share: Did you know? Folic Acid (Folate) – Studies show that taking folic acid supplements during pregnancy decreases the risk of neural tube defects by up to 70%.The neural tube contains your baby’s spinal cord and developing brain, & when it does not form properly it can cause serious conditions like spina bifida, and congenital heart disease. Because your body uses folic acid very early in pregnancy, it is wise to start taking a supplement if you are planning a pregnancy. Check your prenatal vitamins to be sure you are getting 400 micrograms (0.4 milligrams) per dose.  As always check with your OB/GYN or Midwife for their medical advice.
