Want Pregnant? Folic acid is used to Fulfill Your Needs!

POSTED BY Unknown on Wednesday, November 3, 2010

You're happy because it declared pregnant by the doctor, and plans to immediately buy up milk for pregnant women to meet the needs folic acid? Hm ... it seems this understanding needs to be straightened slightly. Giving folic acid when you're positive pregnant otherwise arguably a little late, if previously you never eat foods containing folic acid.
Folate is needed to optimize fetal development, while supporting the health of the mother. However, facts show that the women of Asia (including Indonesia), at risk of conceiving babies with Neural Tube Defects (NTD) due to a lack of folate intake. NTD is a defect that occurs in the brain and spinal cord, since spinal neural tube does not close completely.
Neural tube is usually closed, and fetal brain cells begin to grow, at the age of 25-27 days gestation, or at week-3 pregnancies. In fact, at that time most women have not noticed her pregnancy, so often feel no need to consume folic acid.
"A lot of women who did not plan her pregnancy with either (due to the misunderstanding.) They usually just realized that she was pregnant at the age of pregnancy at the age of 2 months, "said Dr. Ifzal Asril, SpOG, the seminar" Ways to Get Your Children Healthy and Smart "at the Hotel Gran Melia, Jakarta, some time ago.
The disorder is usually caused by NTD are babies born without a skull head (anenchepaly), the spine does not close properly (spina bifida), and a bulge in the back of the head (encephalocele). Another effect of the NTD that you may already know the baby's head is enlarged because of fluid (hydrocephalus). Babies born with these conditions usually are not old age. Even if the baby survived, he would suffer.
Therefore, gynecologists and obstetrics of Mother and Child Hospital Jakarta Hermina stresses the need for nutritional status at conception. Instead, 3 months before conception (if you are planning a pregnancy) you are taking folic acid. Folic acid should continue to be consumed until the first trimester because fetal brain development accelerates during the 3rd trimester babies up to age 30 months. In addition to folate, another nutrient content required during fetal brain development, among others, DHA, iron, Omega-3 and 6, choline, and gangliosida.
With that adequate folate nutrition, the risk of NTDs can be reduced by 80%. In the meantime, do regular health checks. Dr Ifzal advised pregnant women to perform an ultrasound since the early to know whether there is abnormality in the fetus. The earlier the detection, the more likely it is prevention or treatment.
