Jakarta, Spasi-id.com - Pregnant mothers (Bumil) need to increase the nutritious intake. Not just to keep the mother healthy, but also to be needed as a support for growing fetal flowers.
Babies in the womb can thrive because of the nutrients that the mother consumed. Folic acid is one of the nutrients that the fetus desperately needs to grow. That's why, since the beginning of the pregnancy check, usually mothers are given folic acid supplements.
"The first time I met a doctor or a midwife, it would also be given some folic acid vitamins, Jeffrey Christian, quoted from the YouTube channel to ask the doctor.
Dr. Jeffrey explained that pregnant mothers who are malnourished in folic acid are at risk giving birth to malformed babies such as without a skull as well as spina bifida or forming a neural tube on the bottom of a baby.
According to Dr. Jeffrey, the baby was born without a skull, the main cause is 65 percent due to mother's lack of folic acid. Whereas the spina bifida is indeed a genetic factor with it, but 65-70 percent of it can also be caused by lack of folic acid.
Although, when the first trimeters usually do, Dr. Jeffrey confirmed that folic acid vitamins should still be consumed.
"(Nausea) Not an excuse, because the nausea doesn't last at least a week away. Although sometimes it appears, it's usually already starting much lighter. So don't make excuses," the message.
Folic acid nutrients can be obtained from food, like vegetables, fruits and nuts. However, the prolific acid needs for pregnant mothers to increase 409-800 micrograms, so it needs help with additional supplements.
In addition to disturbing the growth of the fetus, the lack of folic acid can also lead to anemia or blood loss.
