    Maternal free folic acid levels are negatively correlated with fetal neural tube defects, that is, women with folic acid deficiency are more likely to deliver fetal neural tube defects; even well-nourished women, the serum and erythrocyte folate levels during pregnancy gradually increase with pregnancy reduce. Therefore, pregnant women need to add folic acid.
