The Importance of Folic A
Many women are aware of the need for folic acid in the second trimester, but few understand its continued significance beyond the first trimester. While early pregnancy supplementation of folate—another term for vitamin B9—is crucial for preventing neural tube defects, maintaining adequate folic acid intake in the second trimester supports the rapid growth of the placenta and fetus.
During the mid-pregnancy stage, the baby's organs continue to develop, and folic acid plays a role in DNA synthesis, cell division, and red blood cell formation. A deficiency during this time can increase risks of anemia and low birth weight. The recommended daily intake remains around 400-600 micrograms, though some women may need more based on medical advice.メッ
