I am trying for a baby. So, in addition to diet and exercise a friend of mine suggested me to take folic acid supplement. I am wondering if folic acid supplement is necessary even before getting pregnant.
Its a good idea to have a good iron store in the body if you are trying for a baby. I did start taking folic acid supplements even before pregnancy. Now a days most of us women do have planned pregnancy so why not have do everything we can to have a healthy and risk free pregnancy.
Make sure to take folic acid supplements after consulting with your doctor.
I did not take any such supplement before conceiving. But yes on my first visit to doctor after knowing that I am pregnant I was asked if I took some iron supplements. So, I guess its a good idea to take iron supplements when planning for baby.
I had some iron deficiency during my pregnancy and my doctor told me that if I had been taking folic acid supplements then such a condition would not have arrived. So, definitely consult your doctor and start your folate supplement today.
