Folic acid to prevent defects

2022-03-17 16:52:36
Hello I was 83 kgs when I conceived but now I'm 87.5 kgs & 10 weeks pregnant. All.my USG reports as well as blood reports are normal. Even my parents don't have any history of diabetes. I have been taking folic acid 5-6 months before conceiving as advised by my doctor. Can this prevent any birth defects in my fetus?? Can I have a normal pregnancy & normal baby??
