The neural tube is the structure which eventually becomes your baby's spinal cord and brain.
Best time to take folic acid during pregnancy
It develops early in pregnancy and tends to close about 4 weeks after conception. In an NTD, part of the tube does not close, which can lead to severe neurological problems, disability and death.
It's difficult to get the amount of folate recommended for a healthy pregnancy from food alone, so taking a folic-acid supplement is the best way to help prevent NTDs.
When should I start taking folic acid?
It is recommended that you start taking folic acid when you are trying to get pregnant – ideally for 3 months before you become pregnant – and then continue to take it up to the end of your 12th week of pregnancy.
