Although there are no official guidelines recommending that mothers-to-be continue to take folic acid, throughout the whole pregnancy, there is not thought to be any harm in continuing to take a B9 supplement. It is advisable that all women of child-bearing age take a folic acid supplement just in case they become unexpectedly pregnant. Trying to get pregnant? The importance of the neural tube and folic acid As you enter week 5 of your pregnancy you can be assured that although your baby is only fractionally larger than a sesame seed, its growth and development are taking place at an incredibly rapid rate.
The importance of the neural tube The neural tube is a hollow structure of tissue which later develops into the brain, spinal cord and nervous system. Neural tube defects If there are problems with the development of the neural tube, this can result in defects affecting the brain, spine, or spinal cord. The following are the most common neural tube defects: Spina bifida — occurs as a result of a fault in the spinal cord and surrounding bones leaving a gap in the spine. Detection In some cases neural tube defects may be detected during your routine ultrasound scan at around 12 weeks.

These types of birth defects develop very early during pregnancy, often before a woman knows she is pregnant. The two most common NTDs are spina bifida a spinal cord defect and anencephaly a brain defect. If you have already had an NTD-affected pregnancy, CDC recommends consuming mcg of folic acid each day, even if you are not planning to become pregnant.
When planning to become pregnant, CDC recommends consuming 4, mcg of folic acid each day starting 1 month before becoming pregnant and during the first 3 months of pregnancy.
