all women of childbearing age take 0.4 mg of folic acid daily, as this amount has been shown to decrease the likelihood of neural tube defects.
Some, but by no means all, birth defects are preventable by early and attentive prenatal care, good nutrition, supplemental vitamins, diligent avoidance of all unnecessary drugs and chemicals--especially tobacco.
Yes. The extra vitamins and minerals are for your baby. The baby can get some vitamins and minerals from your diet, but may need more than your diet can provide. Folic acid, for instance, can prevent some very serious birth defects such as Spina Bifida and other neural tube defects.
Folic Acid is usually recommended to women. It is normally taken before you get pregnant as it is used to help prevent Spina Bifida. It has been shown that a developing baby needs this supplement to develop.By the time you know your pregnant the neural tubes are developed. Having said that you can eat green vegetables and other foods that contain folic acid.
your body needs the right amount of vitamins. thats why they made candy out of vitamins. but its not for everyday eat. if you overdose on vitamins, there is a possibility that something will go wrong, like heart defects, or something wrong in the heart. especially for adults only gummy bear vitamins, if your a kid, you should'nt eat any of the vitamins. the right amount for a person to eat vitamins is 2 gummy bears a week, a day, or a month if you forget. but nobody knows what you should do if you "overdose" on gummy vitamins. "overdose"-another word for over-eat.
No. It only lower the chance your baby will be born with birth defects- due to vitamin definciencies
Women who are pregnant should not take normal vitamins. They should ask their doctor for special, prenatal vitamins. Some cases show that too much vitamin A can cause birth defects in children. http://www.womenshealth.gov/faq/pregnancy-medicines.cfm
There are ALWAYS chances of births defects especially as you get older but not directly related to having a tubal ligation reversed
all of them
Folic acid, one of the B vitamins, found in dark leafy vegetables.
The eye is important don't defect it!
Generally, pediatricians will be on the lookout for birth defects during the first few infant exam visits. The obvious ones (especially Down Syndrome) will be picked up almost all of the time, whereas subtle birth defects can be easily missed.
