As soon as I was pregnant, my mother-in-law bought folic acid for me. Should pregnant women add folic acid?

    Folic acid supplementation by the mother plays an important role in the growth of the fetus and placenta and the prevention of adult diseases. Pregnant women supplemented with folic acid can not only prevent neural tube defects, but also prevent homocysteine from increasing. Increased homocysteine in the blood of pregnant women may lead to coronary heart disease or pregnancy complications.
