Folic acid to prevent defects
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??
