What should I do if I didn't take folic acid tablets before pregnancy?

If you didn't take folic acid tablets before pregnancy, you can take folic acid tablets three months after pregnancy. If you haven't taken folic acid tablets in three months of pregnancy, you can go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to diagnose whether the fetus has neural tube defects. If not, not taking folic acid tablets before pregnancy will not have a big impact on the health of the fetus. The key is to maintain a balanced nutrition and regular work and rest schedule, which will greatly help the healthy growth and development of the fetus.

It is generally recommended that pregnant women take folic acid tablets in the first three months of pregnancy and the last three months of pregnancy, which can promote the perfection of progenitor cells in the bone marrow and prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. Folic acid belongs to a type of B vitamins and is generally found in high concentrations in various fruits and vegetables, among which citrus fruits and leafy vegetables are richer. In addition, a large amount of folic acid is also found in the kidneys of animals. Foods with higher folic acid content include protein foods, leafy fruits and vegetables, bean sprouts, grains, peanut kernels, etc. For example, bamboo shoots, broccoli, tomatoes, carrots, greens, asparagus, cauliflower, rapeseed, greens, oranges, strawberry seedlings, cherries, bananas, apples, lemons, etc. are all foods rich in folic acid. Pregnant mothers should pay attention to eating more of these foods in their diet, which can also help supplement folic acid.
