Скачать или смотреть Folic Acid in Pregnancy (urdu/hindi)

Folic acid is an essential nutrient that is crucial during pregnancy. It is a type of B-vitamin that is necessary for the proper development of the baby's neural tube, which forms the baby's brain and spinal cord.

Here are some of the reasons why folic acid is important during pregnancy:

Reduces the risk of birth defects: Folic acid can significantly reduce the risk of birth defects in the baby's brain and spine, such as spina bifida and anencephaly.

Promotes healthy development: Folic acid is essential for the growth and development of the baby, including the formation of their organs, tissues, and cells.

Supports healthy pregnancy: Folic acid can help prevent preterm delivery, low birth weight, and fetal growth retardation.

Helps prevent miscarriage: Folic acid deficiency has been linked to an increased risk of miscarriage. Adequate folic acid intake can reduce the risk of miscarriage.

It is recommended that women who are planning to conceive or are pregnant take 400-800 micrograms of folic acid daily. It is important to start taking folic acid at least one month before getting pregnant to ensure that the neural tube develops properly in the early stages of pregnancy. Women who have had a previous pregnancy affected by a neural tube defect may need a higher dose of folic acid. It is always best to consult with a healthcare provider regarding folic acid supplementation during pregnancy.
