Answer 3

Folic acid is very important during pregnancy...possibly the most important nutrient you will need during pregnancy. According to womenshealthcaretopics.com, Folic acid is a form of the B vitamin that aids in the regular cellular development and regeneration, and is especially crucial within the first weeks of your unborn baby's development. It helps to insure proper formation of the brain and spinal cord, without which there is a higher chance of miscarriage, and a 1 in 1000 chance that the child will end up with a Neural Tube Disorder (NTD). You should try to begin a regular folic acid regimen before becoming pregnant if possible. You can purchase folic acid supplements at your local drugstore or pharmacy. Your doctor can also provide you with a prenatal vitamin which is a multivitamin + folic acid. Folate can also be found in liver (chicken, turkey, lamb, etc), peas, beans, lentils, vegetables including spinach, broccoli, greens, avocado, orange, Orange Juice, asparagus and papaya, some breakfast cereals, wheat germ, some pastas, bread, rice egg, and corn.

I'm not quite sure what you are asking here. The recommended daily intake of folic acid for a pregnant woman is 400mcg per day in Australia, if you're somewhere else in the world that might be different.

If you are asking what other supplements might be required in pregnancy, then that's something you would need to discuss with a nutritionist/dietitian or your doctor. It changes from person to person, depending upon other medical conditions you have, if you take any medications and what your diet is like.

In general other things that might need to be supplemented in pregnancy are iron, iodine, calcium and omega-3, -6 and -9 oils.
