Image: https://www.globalnewslines.com/uploads/2025/03/1741182594.jpgFolic acid is a nutrient whose presence is indispensable in the body, especially for the good condition and reproduction of cells. During gestation it is necessary to generate new cells that form the tissues of the fetus.
Folic acid in pregnancy to prevent brain, orofacial and neural tube deformities
It is the best known of the effects of folic acid for the fetus and helps prevent serious problems such as spina bifida. It also helps prevent deformities in the baby' s brain , as well as orofacial deformities that can affect speech, hearing or feeding.
Prevention of congenital heart defects
Another reason for the importance of folic acid in pregnancy is that it helps prevent heart defects in the fetus, reducing by at least 6% the probability of the baby suffering from congenital heart disease.
Folic acid intake by pregnant women contributes to the optimal development of the fetus
Folic acid deficiency in pregnancy is associated with low birth weight . A baby born with a low birth weight is weaker and has a higher risk of survival and greater problems in coping with infections.
Folic acid for pregnant women for the prevention of preterm delivery
The risk of preeclampsia or miscarriage is higher in women with low folic acid levels. Therefore, for years, doctors have been advising women seeking to become pregnant to start increasing their folic acid intake and continue it during pregnancy.
Postpartum depression
Folic acid helps in the treatment of depression. Taking folic acid in adequate amounts during pregnancy until term helps to reduce the risk of serious postpartum depression.
How to get the folic acid a woman needs during pregnancy
The daily amount of folic acid required by an adult person is 400 micrograms. In the case of pregnant women, this requirement increases by a factor of 2.5 to 1,000 micrograms per day.
Achieving the necessary folic acid through diet during pregnancy is very complicated, one could almost say impossible within a healthy and balanced diet. For this reason, it is recommended to take food supplements with folate during pregnancy.
In addition, some people have difficulty absorbing the folic acid present in food, as is the case, among others, with celiac disease.
