Taking folic acid during the first trimester is crucial for the development of your baby's neural tube. It helps prevent birth defects like spina bifida. It is recommended to take 400-800 micrograms of folic acid daily. Throughout your pregnancy, make sure to attend regular prenatal check-ups, eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Stay hydrated, exercise regularly (with your doctor's approval), get enough rest, avoid smoking and alcohol consumption. Consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice on supplements and any specific dietary restrictions or modifications based on your health condition.
