Importance of planned Pregnancy
Importance of planned Pregnancy
Planned Childbirth can help prevent birth defects. The vitamin B folic acid helps prevent birth defects. If a woman has enough folic acid in her body before and while she is pregnant, her baby is less likely to have a major birth defect of the brain or spine. Most women do not know how important folic acid is for their bodies and for the health of a baby they might have in the future. They also do not know that a woman needs to take folic acid every day, starting before she is pregnant, for it to work to prevent birth defects. Birth defects of a baby's brain or spine happen in the first few weeks of pregnancy, often before a woman knows that she is pregnant. That is why it is important for a woman to get enough folic acid each day, starting before she is pregnant. Organs of the baby form during the initial three months of pregnancy. Unfortunately as most of the pregnancies are unplanned, the intake of Folic acid does not happen before pregnancy. In the case of unplanned pregnancy, the mother knows about the pregnancy after one month of pregnancy. Again by the time she consults a doctor and starts taking medicines, few more days or weeks will be lost. So if you are planning for a child, consult your doctor and start taking Folic acid supplements before pregnancy.
