#folicacid #folate #pregnancy
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT:
If you are pregnant, it's important to take folic acid to help prevent certain birth defects in your baby. Folic acid and folate are two forms of the same B vitamin. Folate is the form that occurs naturally in foods, while folic acid is the man-made form, added to multivitamins and fortified foods. Your body needs folic acid to help make new cells including, brain cells, blood cells, and DNA, and RNA, the genetic material inside your cells. During pregnancy, you need even more folic acid, because your baby's body needs it too. Folic acid helps your baby's brain and spinal cord develop normally. Taking folic acid can significantly reduce the risk of neural tube defects in your developing baby, called an embryo at this stage. The neural tube begins as a tiny oval-shaped piece of embryonic tissue, which folds into a tube about 28 days after conception. When this tube closes properly, it continues to develop into your baby's brain and spinal cord. If the neural tube does not close, due to the lack of folic acid in your diet, your baby may have a neural tube defect, such as spina bifida, or anencephaly. In spina bifida, the neural tube fails to close at the bottom. As a result, the parts of the spine that enclose and protect the lower spinal cord do not completely form, allowing the cord to protrude. Children with this defect often require surgery, and have permanent disabilities, including leg paralysis, developmental delays, and nervous system problems. In the condition called anencephaly, the neural tube fails to close at the top, preventing large parts of the brain and skull from developing completely. Babies with this defect are unable to live, and usually die before birth or soon after. Folic acid may also protect against other birth defects, such as cleft lip and palate, and atrial septal defect, which is when a hole between the right and left upper chambers of the heart fails to close during development. Because the neural tube develops so early in pregnancy, often before a woman knows she's pregnant, experts recommend all women who are able to become pregnant, take a daily multivitamin containing 400 micrograms of folic acid every day. During pregnancy, the need increases to 600 micrograms of folic acid each day. Experts recommend you take this multivitamin in addition to the food folate in your diet, because your body does not absorb folate found naturally in food as easily as the man-made folic acid. Caregivers will often prescribe even 1,000 micrograms of folic acid daily to assure these minimal levels are covered. Even more may be required in some groups of women, including those with previous miscarriages, and those women deficient in a folic acid metabolic enzyme. Talk with your caregiver about the optimal dose for you.

If you are a woman who is able to get pregnant, please make for yourself and your baby a huge good decision. Take Folic Acid once every day. My mother never knew about any of this, and I have suffered the effects of Spina Bifida for 33 years. At first, it was just my right leg that was affected, but just last month, my left leg was also affected. There is nothing nice about learning that you may soon lose the ability to walk all together. I already cannot run like I used to in my youth, as I would trip over my own lifeless right foot, and struggle in attempt to do something along the lines of running. I may never run again. I may never walk again. If you are a fertile woman, please have enough folic acid in your diet for both you and your potential baby, even if you do not plan on having kids. You will do both yourself and your potential child a huge favour.

Friends, as a plus size first time pregnant woman I've been taking folic acid before getting pregnant and during. 2 weeks after finding out finally got through to doctors where she told me as a plus size lady (bmi over 30) i need to be taking 5mg folic acid (which is 5000mcg!) I did not know this and have now been prescribed this, but I've never ever seen it mentioned anywhere, not even in this video! So please if you are plus size, 30+ bmi please please request prescription for 5mg folic acid, as I've been really stressed to learn this at weeks 5/6 as I'm well aware this crucial stage when the babies spine is being formed. I'm praying all is well and grateful at least I've taken folic acid in advance just wish I'd known that I needed a higher dose.

[@nursingdigipedia3242]

Wish you a happy and successful pregnancy. Yes, folic acid dose may vary based on an individual health and medical condition. some may develop or lack with proper nutrition . for an example one of the condition known as megaloblastic anemia. This happens when the bone marrow produces unusually large, structurally abnormal, immature red blood cells that are unable to carry oxygen properly. 1 mg of folic acid is a common dose for treating megaloblastic anemia, though you may be advised to take 1-5 mg daily until you feel better. So yes, it is always best to visit a doctor in person . Happy pregnancy 👍👍

With 5 mg I'd be SHOCKED if your baby ended up with any issues. Neural tube defects are still relatively uncommon.

My wife found at 6-th week that she was pregnant, at that moment she started Folic acid

[@mayamagick]

Many people have a genetic mutation that makes folic acid harmful, therefore it's always safest to take a folate supplement vs folic acid. Folic acid can also mask b12 deficiencies.

[@barbaramugisha9538]

Thank you mama for doing all the necessary to make me a healthy baby 🙏

[@hpvao218]

Hello, thanks for this video. I heard that taking folate is preferred over folic acid because folate is the natural form while folic acid is the synthetic/man made form, so women trying to conceive should take folate rather than folic acid. Can you please comment on this? Thank you.

[@cinnamonandhoney1]

My thoughts exactly. When she implied folic acid is better, I automatically thought of the Nestle baby formula scandal in the 70s; a marketing scheme.

[@cronelilith2830]

Yes folate is better to get from food..the trick is to eat the foods lol. There is some research being done on folic acid intake vs folate in food. Eat good food

[@22Harponyo]

I asked my obgyn and he said to take folic acid as it is easier to absorb

[@chantlediic]

Yes there are many studies that support that Folic Acid should be avoided and Folate is actually the best in it's natural form. In all of my nutritional studies not one doctor or professor has suggested taking Folic Acid the evidence against it is just to abundant.

[@chantlediic]

@@22Harponyo Actually that is not true any more. It was initially thought that folic acid was more absorbable at 85% vs 60% for Folate. However Folate studies have been shown to absorb 60% to 98% better. When cooked 40% of folates are destroyed & 70% can be destroyed by milling, cutting and baking, so whole fresh foods containing Folate is best. Folic acid is quickly becoming a more harmful option as data is updated.

[@wannacashmeoutside]

I personally think all women of child rearing age (so from the time period starts to menopause) should take folate (or a multivitamin with folate). It would prevent so many birth defects and also it’s beneficial for the women when their own cells are made.

I took it for granted how easy it was for me to conceive. I wish the same for others.

[@urfriscokids1747]

True folate (methyl folate) is safer for everyone! Some people are unable to process synthetic folate (folic acid) and need the real stuff for health and development of the bambino

From which month we should stop taking folic acid during pregnancy

[@MsLOVERBEE]

Thank you for this information. Currently pregnant and was prescribed folic acid...now I understand why. Thank you

[@hawlatula1742]

I’ve been praying to get pregnant please help me pray for a healthy baby😭

[@Brian_195]

Take 5-MTHF, not synthetic folic acid, which is usually poorly absorbed since it’s synthetically derived.

[@maycee4888]

What happens if we take the synthetically derived?

[@Brian_195]

@@maycee4888 Folic acid is poorly converted to 5-MTHF, which is the body’s natural form of folate. And, if you have a MTHFR genetic mutation (which is common), folic acid is even more poorly converted to the body’s natural form of folate. So, taking 5-MTHF is the best way to get your folate intake. I hope this helps.

[@maycee4888]

@@Brian_195 specifically, how do I take 5mthf? Is it something that can be bought or whatever?

[@joannamariemabango]

I was taking folic acid 1 year before I got pregnant. My ob doctor prescribed it to me.

[@andreapatane4204]

Folic acid seems to be a little bit tricky to identify, because it's hard to know where it comes from.

Do u have any symptoms ????

I'm 6 weeks too 😊 I only just started taking folic acid... don't worry too much, as long as you eat healthy and take your multivitamins it will be fine.

[@aijab5129]

My best wishes go out for you, however, it should be done all the time abd for certain before-I was not lucky and my angel girl had these issues, though took vitamins as soon as found out I was pregnant, but it turned out to be late-as it was said, neural tube deffects form as early as up to 1st month...Sending good thoughts to you! ❤❤❤
